The 2011 BET Nominations are in, so funny how time flies because it seems like I just blogged on another one of their award shows… but none the less, here is the list for those who are interested. I always have to go back and look online for the highlights of the show, because BET’s award shows have never been that entertaining to me, yet I’ve noticed that they are “trying” to get a little better. This year, the event will be hosted by the ever so funny, yet ever so short comedian Kevin Hart. :)

Two people that you definitely won’t see there this year are Keyshia Cole and Trina, who after finding out they’d been snubbed, took to Twitter to vent their frustrations.  Trina cracked me up with her simple response of : “Fuck BET.”

Keyshia’s comment: “Its like this. Been on the scene 7 years. I was 21 when I got signed. 7 # 1 records. No awards 4 none of them/still touring. It is Wht it is. These types of thing R the way they R. I’m not upset about any of it in any way. I hope everyone that goes has a wonderful time.”

Check out the complete list after the break…
