BET Awards 2023: See the Full List Of Winners
BET Awards 2023: It’s the biggest cultural night! Some of the biggest names in music, TV, film, and sports took part in the BET Awards 2023 and they’re ready to celebrate black supremacy.
With the roster stacked with big hitters like Drake, Lizzo, Beyoncé, Angela Bassett, LeBron James, and more, it’s hard to pick your favorite. But someone has to take home the trophy, and ET is following up on the winners tonight.
This year’s nominees are led by Drake, who took home the Most Nominated Award with seven nominations, including Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Best R&B/Pop Artist, Best Group with 21 Savage and Best Collaboration with Future and Tems.
GloRilla became the most nominated woman of the night with six nominations, including Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Best New Artist, Album of the Year Anyways, Life’s Great, and Video of the Year for “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B.
The Sunday night show returns to the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and is especially momentous because it celebrates 50 years of hip-hop throughout its live broadcast. And, of course, music is a big part of the night, with performances by the nominees of the year, including Coco Jones, GloRilla, Doechii, and Lil Uzi Vert.
The night also features a star-studded tribute to Tina Turner, several performances honoring hip-hop subgenres, and a performance celebrating this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Busta Rhymes, honoring his 30+ year musical legacy.
