Beyoncé, Lizzo, and Lil Nas X were all up for this year's honors
It was a big year for the BET Awards. The annual awards show, which celebrates Black art and culture, turned 20 with this show, and produced a remotely filmed, socially distanced telecast, that set a bar for all COVID-19 era award shows to come.
Among the notable winners this year, were Megan Thee Stallion, who won the Best Female Hip Hop Artist award, LeBron James for the Sportsman of the Year, and Burna Boy for Best International Act. It was a phenomenal show that showed a range of creativity and talent for everyone involved, showcasing artistry and activism at the same time.
