2019 BET Awards: The winners list


The 19th annual BET Awards ceremony was hosted by Regina Hall, yesterday. The BET awards seek to recognize winners across 20 categories in a "celebration of black culture". The ceremony which aired live from the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles lasted for more than three and a half hours. However, not all the trophies were handed out during the performance-and tribute-heavy TV presentation. Tyler Perry was honored with the Ultimate Icon Award, Mary J. Blige received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Nipsey Hussle (who was killed in March) was posthumously honored with the Humanitarian Award.
Here is a full list of award nominees and winners.

In most cases, the responsibility of cutting off the top joint of the finger is assigned to one of the woman's...
