The best of the best in music, film, television, and more will be honored at the 2020 BET Awards on June 28, and we have the full list of nominations here!
The BET Awards are going to look a lot different this year due to coronavirus, but one thing remains the same: the talent nominated across the board is astonishing. Drake leads the pack across the male music categories, with Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Album of the Year, TWO nods in Best Collaboration, and more. Megan Thee Stallion, 25, whose song “Hot Girl Summer” took over all the charts, is sweeping the female nominations. Will this be her second hot summer in a row?
The show will air on BET and CBS simultaneously on June 28, from 8:00pm to 11:00pm ET. While previous years saw explosive performances and hilarious speeches in front of an audience, the 2020 show is going virtual. Bans on large gatherings are still in effect as the coronavirus pandemic rages on, so everyone will be accepting awards from the safety of their homes. See the full list of nominees below:
