The cultural impact of the awards has always been significant, and this year is not an exception. The diversity of nominees and the absence of distinctions between music genres are visible due to a variety of nominations of such artists as Drake, Burna Boy, or Doja Cat, who were also noticed at the CMA Awards and did not lose potential for crossover success. Fans are waiting for the live performances by confirmed artists GloRilla, Latto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey, and Victoria Monét.
The achievements of the nominated works are noteworthy. Victoria Monét’s Grammy-winning album, Jaguar II, and the nominated films, such as Bob Marley: One Love and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, have significantly contributed to the music and film industry.
It should be noted the BET Voting Academy, which includes professionals and influencers in music, media, digital marketing, sports journalism, public relations, and creative arts, is responsible for determining the nominations. Viewer’s Choice Awards is one of the most important elements of the ceremony, as it allows the fans to express their opinion.

Meanwhile, J. Cole, Sexyy Red, SZA, and Victoria Monét are nominated in five categories each. Meanwhile, Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Tyla, and Usher are expected to take home a trophy in four various categories.
However, the awards do not recognize only music but also film, acting, and sports. For example, ”Renaissance,” the Beyoncé tour film, is nominated as the best movie. In addition to the Queen, Simone Biles, Naomi Asaka Steph Curry, Lebron James, and Patrick Mahomes are among the sports figures and are more likely to become winners.
This idol list guarantees a spectacular show come 2024.
