Expect lots of drama, plenty of laughs and possibly even a few superheroes in the building when Samuel L. Jackson
hosts the 2012 BET Awards on July 1, live from the Shrine Auditorium in
Los Angeles. On Tuesday (May 22), BET announced the nominees for their
2012 awards show and even confirmed performances by Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj (though there was no official word on whether the Hulk will attend).
BET president Stephen Hill held a press conference in New York City on Tuesday, and with the help of Big Sean,
DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, Diggy, Mindless Behavior and Melanie Fiona, he
spilled the beans about the big show. Samuel L. wasn't in attendance,
but "The Avengers" star sent a pre-taped message promising that the show
will be "too big to miss."
Sean broke through last year when he dropped his debut LP Finally Famous. Next, the "Marvin & Chardonnay" MC will appear on G.O.O.D Music's Cruel Summer compilation and then follow up with his sophomore album.
Sean
isn't the only big dog being honored at the awards show. Chris Brown,
Usher and Bruno Mars are among the nominees in the Best Male R&B
category, while Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna will duke it out in
the Best Female category. The Throne, Diddy-Dirty Money, Maybach Music Group and Eminem's Bad Meets Evil will compete for Best Group, and Nicki
Minaj looks to be the favorite for Best Female Hip Hop.
