CMT Music Award Nominees: YouTube Edition

I’ve included a link to the YouTube version of each of the videos (minus five that I couldn’t find on YouTube) nominated for the CMT Music Awards. CMT has the videos on their website, but you have to register to view them and be running IE. It would have been nice had they partnered with YouTube to create a CMT Music Award Channel where users could view all the videos under each category. I’m sure it would have gotten quite a bit of publicity.
