I don't know how they decide the winners, and I don't normally encourage the fixing of awards shows, but if they don't rig it for UGK to win best group, they've managed to completely fuck the dog on a golden opportunity to broadcast a truly historically powerful moment, the sort of thing these shows all beg and pray to be associated with.

Granted, UGK shits on all those other bums anyway, but pardon me for my skepticism about the best artist winning at awards shows.

@pantycrickets: I wrote that all wrong. I meant there's no way T-Pain will be shutout. Blerg!

Any awards ceremony that has Soulja Boy in any category should not be lauded for their “professional competence.”

If Flo Rida and/or Soulja Boy win, I would fear for Maura’s sanity…

A few things:

(1)Who pulled what strings to get that Ashanti video nominated for video of the year?

(2)Day 26? Best Group? Really?

(3) Who the hell is Playaz Circle?

(4)Oh Best Female Hip-Hop Artist Category. Trina should be disqualified based solely on the fact that her single with Keyshia Cole is just wrong y'all. WRONG!

Kudos to Kid Sister and Lil Mama for their noms, but this category still gets me scared for female MCs. Eve's album had been on the back burner since forever, and Missy ain't dropped a new album in nearly three years right? It's like they were nominated on the strength of Tambourine and Ching Ching alone.

(5) And I would speak on the omnipresence of T-Pain in the Best Collaboration category, but honestly, what's the point?

T-Pain was shutout?! How is that even possible? I thought he was part of just about every song this year?

@Al Shipley: Sam Clayton clearly is more deserving for the Lifetime Achievement award than Al Green. Also I think Kenny Gradney might be part-BET awards eligible. So there's always next year.
