The list of nominations for the 013 BET Awards announced and as usual, the extensive lineup is packed with a series of confusing selections based on quality instead of quality. Leading the pack for the ceremony, which will be hosted at the Nokia Theater at LA Live on June 30th, is Drake with an incredible twelve nods.

Drake has been nominated for three different clips in the Video of the Year category – “Started from the Bottom”, “No Lie” (with 2 Chainz) and “Problems” (with A$AP Rocky). In fact, ten videos will compete in the pointlessly redundant field. Just another example of the BET’s “good” work, right?

The 2013 BET Awards will be hosted by Chris Tucker, and the event wil feature performances by Chris Brown and R. Kelly. See the full list of silly nominations below:
