Nominations were announced Tuesday morning for the 45th annual CMA Awards and Mac McAnally was once again nominated as Musician of the Year.

Mac has won the award the past three years. Can he win a fourth?

Here are the nominees in the category:

• Sam Bush – Mandolin
• Jerry Douglas – Dobro
• Paul Franklin – Steel Guitar
• Dann Huff – Guitar
• Mac McAnally – Guitar

After being nominated a third time last year (and subsequently winning again), a very humble Mac said “I was flattered and felt unworthy to be nominated the first time and now I’ve won two. Once again, I’m awfully grateful to be thought about in any positive light by my peers. Playing music is my favorite thing to do,” he said. “It’s certainly not a bad thing to get called to do some more.”

The 45th annual CMA Awards will air Wednesday, November 9th on ABC with hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley. The Musician of the Year award is typically given out before the live broadcast.

A date for the previously announced Denver show has been announced: Tuesday, October 18th at the Pepsi Center.

Buffett last played the Pepsi Center in 2004.

On Thursday in Houston a ceremony was held for space shuttle workers commemorating the end of the shuttle era, and Jimmy Buffett (presumably via recorded message) was one of the celebrities who offered up their thanks:

“We’re here to celebrate an incredible 30-year run,” NASA Administrator and former shuttle astronaut Charles Bolden said, addressing the thousands of JSC workers and their families who came out for the “Salute Our Space Shuttle: Foundation for Our Future” celebration. “All of you need to leave here tonight with your chest stuck out as proud as you can be because we have done something that no one else was ever able to do and no one will ever do again.”

In addition to Bolden, the event included tributes delivered both in-person and by video from space shuttle program managers, astronauts and celebrities. Representatives of the Houston Astros and Aeros sports teams, actor Seth Green, singer Jimmy Buffett, Sesame Street’s Elmo and late night talk show host Jay Leno all offered their thanks for the shuttle.

“Thank you for your dedication, your inspiration and vision on the incredible space shuttle program,” Leno said in a video recorded from the set of “The Tonight Show.” “For over 30 years, you guys have amazed and educated, opened our eyes to the wonders of space travel and the benefits brought to our everyday lives.”

Jimmy was in attendance at the final space shuttle launch back in July. After the launch he played a show for shuttle workers outside of the Vehicle Assembly Building.
