The BET Awards celebrate black artists and sports personalities and this year’s edition was unique in many ways.
The deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, as well as the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests reflected throughout the ceremony.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, BET Awards went virtual with the performances and speeches pre-taped, allowing for dramatic stagings and high production values.
Beyoncé was honoured for her humanitarian work at the BET Awards.
