BET Awards Nominations 2010

So BET released the nominees for their annual award show today! And clearly they are branching out. This years list includes artist like Justin Bieber, not a total shock. But it also includes the Disney starlet Selena Gomez... Random Right? I mean C'mon? Their are so many other young stars that they could have chosen to nominate, Ones that never get recognition, such as Paige Hurd (Everybody Hates Chris), Raven Goodwin (Just Jordan, Good Luck Charlie, Huge), Brandon Smith (Sonny with a Chance)... I could go on and on!
                                                                                
But I think the BIGGEST mishap is that Monica, currently holding down the #2 spot on the Billboard Chart, did not get nominated for Best Female R&B Artist! Really BET, what are you smoking?!!

Read the list for yourself and tell us what you think...
