The 2014 BET Awards ceremony took place Sunday, and the
night's big winner was Beyonce. The
pop superstar nabbed three awards, including the 2014 FANdemonium award,
voted on by viewers. Pharrell Williams
and August Alsina also had a
happy night, taking home two awards apiece.
Nicki
Minaj won
for best female hip hop star, and in her acceptance speech, she praised herself
as a hip-hop star who doesn't have someone writing for her, an apparent dig
at Iggy Azalea. Drake beat out Jay Z for best
male hip hop star.
12 Years
a Slave was
chosen as best movie, with the film's stars, Lupita Nyong’o and Chiwetel Ejiofor,
taking home acting awards. Lionel Richie was honored as the
lifetime achievement award recipient.
One
memorable moment of the night was Kevin Hart interrupting presenter Kerry
Washington and referring to himself as "Oliver Pope," a reference
to Washington's Scandal character, Olivia Pope. At another point, host Chris
Rock tried to one-up 2014 Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres by passing out
chicken and waffles from L.A. favorite Roscoe's.
The
awards began under the shadow of violence, with one man shot to death and
another stabbed in two separate pre-show incidents.
BET said the preshow parties at which the violence occurred were not officially
affiliated with the awards show. During the show, Rock joked that this is the
only awards show where people worry about their safety.
