Kodak Moments

The parade of awards for OutKast's ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'' is probably not over yet. The hip-hop duo lead the pack among this year's BET Awards nominees with six citations, including two categories where their singles ''Hey Ya!'' and ''The Way You Move'' will be competing against each other (Video of the Year and Viewers' Choice). The June 29 awards show, which honors African-American actors, musicians, and athletes, is also likely to pay tribute to send Beyoncé to the podium at least once; she's up for five awards, including three for ''Crazy in Love'' and one for her acting.

Other multiple nominees include Lil Jon and Usher (four each) and Kanye West (three). Certain to collect honors are Danny Glover, who's picking up a humanitarian award, and the Isley Brothers. Not only are the decades-spanning R&B hitmakers earning a lifetime achievement award, but they're also scheduled to perform, as are OutKast, Usher, and Janet Jackson.

BET will broadcast the show live from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre, home of the Oscars. For the second year in a row, comic Mo'Nique is the host. A partial list of nominees is below.
