BET Awards Nominations Led By Jay-Z, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Drake ... And Justin Bieber Bieber scores a surprise nod for Best New Artist.
Mr.& Mrs. Camel Arrive At The 66 Annual Golden Gloe Awards. (Pictured Above) After performing at the World Series, headlining a 9/11 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden and being named MTV News' Hottest MC in the Game, it's no surprise that Jay-Z received the most nominations for the upcoming 2010 BET Awards. The Brooklyn MC scored nods in the Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Best Collaboration ("Empire State of Mind"), Video of the Year ("Empire State of Mind" and "Run this Town") and Viewer's Choice categories to lead the way with five nominations, it was announced Tuesday (May 18). Teen heart throb Justin Bieber picked up a surprise nomination for Best New Artist, his only recognition. "That was not a joke," BET executive Stephen Hill said, laughing in response to the singer's nod. Beyoncé (Best Female R&B Artist), Alicia Keys (Best Female R&B Artist), Trey Songz (Best Collaboration, for "Successful" and "Say Aah") and newcomer Melanie Fiona (Centric Award) were among the other multiple nominees, each receiving four nods. Lil Wayne's protégés did well too, with Drake picking up three nominations, including Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Nicki Minaj scoring two nods and Young Money as a collective earning three nominations, including as the only crew up for Best New Artist. Drake and Nicki Minaj will also be among those scheduled to take the stage to perform during the evening, in addition to Trey Songz and Diddy-Dirty Money. Rihanna, Fabolous, B.o.B, Monica, and Maxwell round out the multiple nominees with two nominations apiece. New categories introduced for the show, now in its 10th year, include Best Movie and Young Stars Awards, in which Selena Gomez and Will Smith's daughter Willow will compete against each other. Queen Latifah is set to host the festivities live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on June 27. "Mo'Nique will slap the sh-- outta me if I don't do a good job," Latifah told the gathered media, in regards to following in the footsteps of the comedian and Jada Pinkett-Smith as female hosts. Diddy will host the post-show, as he counts down the release of his album, Last Train to Paris, which arrives June 28.

Why is Rihanna nominated when she's clearly a pop artist? And why is Beyonce nominated with a two year old album under her belt and Monica isn't? | |

Since when did BET allow little white teenboppers like Justin as a nominee?  But in all seriousness I have given up on that channel about three/four years ago. They're just taking Hell to a whole other level. | |

Or any awards show. Haha exactly, all award shows have become so dull and pointless. It really is a reflection of the majority of crap music that is being made today.There no genuinely unique personalities only manufactured/boring people... The music quality HAS in fact declined, there is no comparison to mainstream artists of the 2000's to the decades past. Everyone thinks they can sing and everyone wants to be a "star", and because of that we get this musical wall of crap(at least in mainstream music). And the record companies wonder why the music industry is failing so much? STOP SIGNING MEDIOCRE SHITTY ARTISTS . Ok that's the end my rant  | |

The only persons nominated in any of these categories that even remotely interests me are Maxwell and Sade. The rest are boring and typical. | |
