Get ready peps, the 2009 BET Awards are right around the corner. Just last night, they announced the list of nominees. And yes of course Beyonce not only made the list she top it.

Who wants to BET that “Single Ladies” wins for Video of the Year?

That catchy tune is just one of the reasons Beyoncé was nominated for a leading five honors at the upcoming 2009 BET Awards, a mark matched only by T.I., who might not be able to make it to the June 28 ceremony his year.

In addition to two nods for top video (the other coming for “If I Were a Boy”), Beyoncé is up for Female R&B Artist of the Year (in which she competes against Jennifer Hudson, among others), Best Actress and a Viewers’ Choice honor.

T.I., who on March 27 was sentenced to 366 days in prison on a weapons charge and is expected to turn himself May 19, shares nominations for Video of the Year and Best Collaboration with Rihanna (”Live Your Life”). He’s also up for Best Collaboration with Yung Dro and Young LA on “Ain’t I,” Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Viewers’ Choice.

Keri Hilson, Lil Wayne and T-Pain also had strong showings, with four nods apiece. T-Pain will square off against Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo, Ryan Leslie and the Dream for Best Male R&B Artist. Lil Wayne is up against T.I., Kanye West, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross in the Male Hip-Hop Artist category.

Jamie Foxx, also a multiple award nominee, will host the event at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium.

Unlike the reports that Em was dodging Weezy, the two are actually fans of each other’s lyrical prowess.

Eminem’s a popular guy in hip-hop circles nowadays, with Rick Ross calling on Slim Shady to collaborate — or battle! — with him, and there’s been Lil Wayne’s constant request to work with the Detroit lyricist. Weezy has even said Eminem has been dodging him.

But when asked whether he’d work with Wayne by Shade 45’s Angela Yee on “The Morning After” Sirius satellite radio show on Thursday, Em said, “I would. There hasn’t really necessarily been a time for me to go to collaborate and sh– lately, because I been so locked down in the studio. But I’m open for whatever. There’s a lot of rappers in the game I respect, especially right now.”

Em went on to again cite Lil Wayne and T.I., as he did in his recent XXL magazine cover story, as rappers he respects. He also named Kanye West, saying he “likes [Kanye] a lot” as an artist.

The hip hop version of Ebony and Ivory sounds like a winner to us.
