BET Awards 2020 | Review And Full List of Winners

BET Awards 2020 Held Virtually

On Sunday night, the 28th of June 2020, the prestigious BET Awards took place, celebrating black excellence and parading a list of artists, winners and nominees, singers and spectators; the award show also paid tributes to all victims of racism all over the world as well as the Black Lives Matter protesters.

Amanda Seales, the comedian and Insecure actress,  hosted the annual show but virtually (i.e. without the traditional stage and audiences) in a bid to take safety precautions against the spread of COVID-19.

Organizers had said that the measures have actually helped expand its BET footprint to go beyond the usual traditional stage show in response to COVID-19 pandemic safety precautions and compliance, marking a first for the network.

The show witnessed a powerful remix by Public Enemy of the 1989 hit "Fight the Power" - but with updated lyrics, and a host of other artists began the show. The event also witnessed a brief and beautiful monologue by Seales which addressed racism.

Among the BET 2020 winners of the night, were Chris Brown, Beyoncé, Wizkid, Lizzo, Burna Boy, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch and so on.
