50 Cent, Mariah Carey and Green Day lead the usual suspects for the 2005 Billboard Music Awards, to air live Dec. 6 from Las Vegas.

So who’s expected to win? Fif’s a finalist in eight categories, including two in ringtones. He’ll face Green Day, Carey, Eminem and Kelly Clarkson for album of the year.

The awards, based on sales, downloads and airplay, will be hosted by LL Cool J. (left) And just as with every award show, be prepared for incessant album release pimping, red carpet showboating and a performance by Gwen Stefani.
