Here are all the winners from the 2022 BET Awards
Spoiler alert: Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's Silk Sonic won big last night
Last night’s BET Awards were not without its drama, as the ongoing conversation around Lil Nas X’s omission from this year’s nominees continued. The night proved to be full of surprises though, with some big names leaving empty-handed.
Doja Cat led this year’s nominees with six nods, with Drake and Ari Lennox snagging four each. However, all three artists went home with nothing. Instead, Silk Sonic went home with the top prize—Album Of The Year—as well as Best Group. Silk Sonic’s Anderson .Paak also went home with the award for Best Video Director.
In the rest of the music categories, the big winners included Megan Thee Stallion, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, and Jazmine Sullivan.
Will Smith even went home with a couple of awards this year, as King Richard took home the win for Best Movie, with Smith earning the award for Best Actor.
