The BET Awards ’09 is just a few weeks away.  Recently the nominations were announced on 106 & Park and I was there back-stage to interview some of the stars who came out to help announce the nods!

After hitting the step & repeat for the still photographers, each artist came straight to me.  Always the comedian, Jamie Foxx pulled in front of the cameras with him do some interesting poses!

Jamie will play host on the big night and says he’s going to go hard on all the biggest stars!   Those in the front row beware! 

Keri Hilson was overwhelmed to discover on her first time being nominated she’s up for a grand total of 4 BET Awards! 

This year some edgier acts like MIA (go UK!) and NERD have received nods!

Soulja Boy told me he’s proved his haters wrong.  He’s definitely no one hit wonder!  He could walk away with the Viewers’ Choice Award. 

Catch these stars and many, many more on the BET Awards ’09 live from LA, June 22nd!!  See you there!!
