Much like BET isn't necessarily a video channel — the 6p broadcast of 106 & Park each weekday is their sole remaining music video spot — the annual BET Awards isn't necessarily about music videos. In fact, there's only two categories specific to the short form. Here are this year's nominees:
Video Of The Year
- 2 Chainz f/ Drake "No Lie" (Director X, dir.)
- A$AP Rocky f/ Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar "Problems" (A$AP Rocky & Sam Lecca, dir.)
- Drake "Started From The Bottom" (Director X & Drake, dir.)
- Drake f/ Lil Wayne "HYFR" (Director X, dir.)
- Kendrick Lamar f/ Drake "Poetic Justice" (The Lil Homies, dir.)
- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis f/ Wanz "Thrift Shop" (Jon Augustavo, dir.)
