The BET Awards were created to celebrate minorities in the
entertainment business, and it accomplished that last night -- with
many of those honored celebrating the present and potential future
accomplishments of the first black Presidential nominee. Alicia Keys
accepted her Best Female R&B Artist award saying, ""I want to
dedicate this award to the end of the word can't. That word is dead, we
don't know that word. Obama, y'all."
Kanye West received his second Best Male Hip-Hop artist award, and shared another with rapper-producer T-Pain. T-Pain came into the evening with 5 nominations, the most of any artist.
My favorite highlight of the night? Al Green took home the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, surprising the audience saying, "You've been so faithful, I should at least let you see my eyes."
The 75-year-old singer took off his sunglasses before launching into his biggest hit, "Let's Stay Together."
