Get ready yall, the 2009 BET Awards are right around the corner. Just last night, they announced the list of nominees. We’re not sure if Dream was channeling ‘Turbo’ from Breakin’ but that’s not a good look. Pop the hood for more
Who wants to BET that “Single Ladies” wins for Video of the Year?
That catchy tune is just one of the reasons Beyoncé was nominated for a leading five honors at the upcoming 2009 BET Awards, a mark matched only by T.I., who might not be able to make it to the June 28 ceremony his year.
In addition to two nods for top video (the other coming for “If I Were a Boy”), Beyoncé is up for Female R&B Artist of the Year (in which she competes against Jennifer Hudson, among others), Best Actress and a Viewers’ Choice honor.
T.I., who on March 27 was sentenced to 366 days in prison on a weapons charge and is expected to turn himself May 19, shares nominations for Video of the Year and Best Collaboration with Rihanna (“Live Your Life”). He’s also up for Best Collaboration with Yung Dro and Young LA on “Ain’t I,” Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Viewers’ Choice.
Keri Hilson, Lil Wayne and T-Pain also had strong showings, with four nods apiece. T-Pain will square off against Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo, Ryan Leslie and the Dream for Best Male R&B Artist. Lil Wayne is up against T.I., Kanye West, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross in the Male Hip-Hop Artist category.
Jamie Foxx, also a multiple award nominee, will host the event at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium.
For a full list of nominees, check out BET’s website.

You don’t even try to recognize any other artist than those YOU feel will add to your veiwership. Did it ever occur to you that your audience might actually want to hear some new exciting music and check out other artists that are on the verge. After all, that how the most popular artists got to where they are. Someone gave them a chance to shine. Personally, I would like to see Ryan Leslie and Jazmine Sullivan perform. Both of their albums were great and I think it would be a good look for them.

Where is Chris Brown nomination? Ti bought enough weapons to destroy ATL and he got several nominations. Chris Brown and his girlfriend had a fight and he is excluded. Some fairness for a group of people always hollering about equal rights. The other group of people have already demonized Chris Brown and want him hung. And, his own people penalize him by excluding from the music awards. When this case is over all of you will be kiss, kiss his *****ests. Some people can separate work from personal life because this country was built on the money. See why the economy is bad because the money is funny.
