It’s that time of year again, time for the 2017 BET Awards and on Monday, May 15, the network unveiled the full list of nominees and Beyonce is leading the pack with Bruno Mars following.

This year, Bey racks up seven nominations — including one for the award show’s highest honor, video of the year, for ‘Sorry.’ She also goes up against her sister Solange (who has four nods) in numerous categories thanks to Solange’s critically acclaimed album ‘A Seat At The Table.’
