Voting will begin at 5 p.m. ET!Congratulations to Bucky Covington and director Trey Fanjoy--the video for "A Different World" has been nominated for a 2008 CMT Music Award in the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year category. You can check out the full list of nominees in all categories at CMT.com; and here are some very important words from the CMT press release about the first round of voting:
The first round of voting runs from February 5 through February 25, only at CMT.com, where fans will select from the top nominees in each of the 2008 CMT MUSIC AWARDS categories. On Thursday, March 6, CMT will announce the four finalists in each of the thirteen 2008 CMT MUSIC AWARDS categories, except VIDEO OF THE YEAR. Fans can then vote online at CMT.com through Friday, April 11 to determine the winners. The final nominees for VIDEO OF THE YEAR will be announced at the beginning of the live show, and fans can vote at CMT.com throughout the live broadcast (ET/CT only) to determine the night’s big winner.
Yes, I know--we Bucky Covington fans have a lot on our plates already! But this one is so worth the extra time and voting effort. Recruit your friends (hey, sweet-talk your enemies if you think it'll help), enlist your co-workers, neighbors and congenial-looking strangers, contact everyone you know who loved the song (it touched a lot of hearts) and we'll cheerfully get him to the next level of competition. And if it helps, picture how great he'll look on live TV with that belt buckle in his hand...
Here's the list of nominees in his category--all great performances. Congrats to Bucky and the the class of '07!
