When you’re nominated for a major award, it’s always good to be prepared for how you’ll react if you win or lose. If you win, you want to make sure you thank the right people and show your graciousness. If you lose, you want to make sure your expression shows you’re disappointed but still happy for the winner.

Host Kevin Hart asked One Direction to practice their expressions in both scenarios. They all look like they’re great sports, especially Harry Styles who doesn’t look disappointed about potentially losing AT ALL. Liam on the other hand…

The guys also participated in a Twitcam convo where they played a guessing game with fans and shared what it’s like to see themselves as dolls. The guys will perform tonight and will see if they win awards for  Best New Artist as well as Best Pop Video.

Chris Brown is the top contender at the BET awards this year with six nominations, reports Billboard.

Brown is up for best male R&B artist, viewer’s choice and video of the year for ‘Look at Me Now.’ He’s also nominated twice in the best collaboration category for his No. 1 hits ‘Deuces,’ featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall, and ‘Look at Me Now,’ with Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne.

Brown is also getting recognition for his acting, as he is nominated for best actor for his role in the heist thriller ‘Takers.’

Lil Wayne is nominated five times, three of them coming from his guest appearance on Brown’s ‘Look at Me Now.’

Kanye West, Drake and Rihanna are up for four awards each as well. Alicia Keys will perform and comedian Kevin Hart will host the award show. It airs live on June 26 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Wow, can we call this a Chris Brown comeback? I personally still think he’s a douchebag, but Rihanna-related-events aside, I guess his music is pretty good. We’ll have to tune in to see how many awards he actually wins. I know he deserves to deal with the consequences of his actions, but its good to see him on some sort of path to recovery, both career-wise and personal-wise.
