The annual BET awards ceremony was held virtually on Sunday night with big awards going to musicians like Beyonce, Lizzo, and others. The show was hosted by comedian and actor Amanda Seales.
The Hollywood Reporter quoted the organisers of the show as they said that they “expanded its footprint to go beyond the confines of a traditional stage show in response to safety precautions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, marking a first for the network.” The national broadcast of the show was premiered on CBS, in addition to ViacomCBS’ networks.
