Beyonce Leads BET Nominees, Jamie Foxx Named Host

The BET Awards were established to celebrate African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment - and this year’s nominees were recently announced.

Coming in as no surprise, Beyonce Knowles is atop the pack by landing 5 nominations including two in the Best Video category for “Single Ladies” and “If I Were A Boy,” the Viewer’s Choice category, Best Female R&B, and also for Best Female Actress.

Rapper T.I. will be giving the “Crazy in Love” songstress a run for her money, as he too has been nominated for 5 awards - with one of them being the Viewer’s Choice.

The awards show, which always airs live, will be hosted by Jamie Foxx this year, and will take place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on June 28.
