Today, Terrence J & Rosci announced the nominees for the 2009 BET Awards on 106 & Park. The 2009 BET Awards will be live at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday June 28th 8 EST/7 Central and will be hosted by comedian/actor/singer-songwriter Jamie Foxx. Confirmed performances by Jamie Foxx, Beyonce, Maxwell, Ne-Yo and more to follow.

Lil Wayne, Beyonce and T.I. lead with five nominations each followed by Kanye West, Rihanna, Jamie Foxx and Jazmine Sullivan who each got four nominations.

One thing I did notice that Chris Brown did not receive any nomination. I guess BET doesn’t support or associate themselves with him or maybe his songs are not good enough to be nominated.

Check out the nominees below and let me know what you think about the nominees.
