The 2020 BET Awards, honoring the best in music, movies, TV, and more, happened virtually this year — but the stars are still winning big!
Sunday’s award show was hosted by comedian and actress Amanda Seales, with performances from stars like Alicia Keys, Chloe x Halle, DaBaby, D Smoke, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Jonathan McReynolds, Kane Brown, Lil Wayne, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch, SiR, Summer Walker, Usher, and Wayne Brady.
Drake lead this year’s pool with six nominations, though he took home just one. Megan Thee Stallion, who received five nods, took home two trophies. And Blue Ivy Carter, at age 8, won her very first BET Award with mom Beyonce.
