Though BET’s 2005 Comedy Awards aren’t focused on hip hop, the list of nominees includes some well-known rappers among the other comedians.

In particular, the Outstanding Theatrical Film category includes three films featuring rappers, Ice Cube’s Are We There Yet?, Queen Latifah’s Beauty Shop and Will Smith’s Hitch. All three also get nominations for Top Actor or Actress awards.

Eve was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series for Eve while Andre 3000 was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Theatrical Film for Be Cool. HBO’s P. Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy received a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Variety Series.

The awards show will be taped on Sept. 25th and televised on Tuesday, September 27th at 9 pm. Official site: BET
