When it comes to a showcase of stars and talent, the BMA's rock the house. "One year ago George Clinton and Flavor Flav turned it out, last year we did a tribute Marvin Gaye, and this year we have a big surprise that is sure to stir up it up a bit," said Rick Warren, president of the BMA. The best that entertainment has to offer has been nominated by record labels, radio stations, promoters and fellow entertainers. Over 200 nominees will walk the red carpet into the Wilshire Ebell Theater where they will enjoy an evening of elegance and entertainment, while waiting for their name to be called. "This is the night of nights for the best of the best. The excitement is already building."
