Sunday night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles the 2011 Annual BET Awards went down. Nicki Minaj and Kanye West both scored awards respectively for Best Female and Best Male Hip Hop Artists, while Jada and Will’s adorable “super spawns,” Willow and Jaden Smith, tied for the Young Stars Award. The night’s biggest winner was Chris Brown, who took home four awards, including Viewers' Choice.
With the legendary Patti LaBelle being given the Lifetime Achievement Award, it was no surprise that musical tributes from artists like Cee-Lo Green, Mary J. Blige and Beyonce were crowd-pleasers. Last but certainly not least, our favorite part of any awards show: the red carpet. Tracee Ellis Ross, Keri Hilson and Kerry Washington were some much buzzed about fashion faves. Check out a few red carpet stars below. What do you guys think? Who was a hit? And who missed the boat?
