It’s almost that time of year again.

Chris Tucker will be hosting the 2013 BET Awards on June 30, as the nominees for the annual event were announced today during a press conference. Along with Chris Tucker, Kendrick Lamar, Tamar Braxton, and Charlie Wilson were on hand for the announcements.

Drake leads the crowd with 12 nominations at this year’s show, five nominations in the Video of the Year category alone. He’s nominated in that category for his own single, “Started From the Bottom,” along with the Lil Wayne-assisted “HYFR,” plus his collaborations with Kendrick Lamar (“Poetic Justice”), 2 Chainz (“No Lie”), and A$AP Rocky (“Fu**in’ Problems”). 

Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz each got eight nominations, A$AP Rocky got five and Miguel grabbed four. Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Miguel each earned three a piece.
