In this contribution we present recent progress in the computation of
next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections for the production of an
electroweak vector boson in association with jets at hadron colliders. We focus
on results obtained using the virtual matrix element library BLACKHAT in
conjunction with SHERPA, focusing on results relevant to understanding the
background to top production.
