The 2011 BET AWARDS (Winners)

You already know the BET Awards are music's biggest night. The 2011 BET Awards (brought to you by Ford Focus) kicked off with a performance by Mary J Blidge and Anita Baker. Shortly after that, Kevin Hart hit the stage with some step team--their performance was nothing short of HOT.

Kelly Rowland had the best performance of the night. All the gospel acts were awesome.

Previous hosts of the BET Awards include Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, Mo'Nique, and the husband-and-wife team of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith.
