In the span of six years, Tyler Perry has built a powerhouse film company. Each year, since 2006, Perry releases two films a year. While the movies have not had the best critical reception, Tyler Perry's films have all been box office hits.

Despite making the black community laugh and cry with such precision over the past few years, Perry is facing a major backlash. Recently, Tyler Perry finally confronted fellow filmmaker, Spike Lee.

While some black media outlets are against Tyler Perry, BET has been among his biggest supporters. Perry is up for several film nominations at the 2011 BET Awards. For years, his films have been nominated for BET Awards.

As usual, Tyler Perry leads the BET Awards in film nominations, facing competition from Takers, The Book of Eli, and Death at a Funeral.
