Keke Palmer earned four nominations for her work on various projects, including hosting the game show Password and the podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer, and voice acting in the animated series The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy.
Hip-hop stars Doechii, Kendrick Lamar and Usher are also each up for four awards.
Palmer, Lamar, Cynthia Erivo, Kevin Hart and Shannon Sharpe are competing for the top individual prize of Entertainer of the Year.
Winners will be announced at a Feb. 22 ceremony, airing on BET and CBS.
