This was the first year I decided NOT to go to the award show.and I must say: Posted in Art, Awards, Ethered/Dissed, Fashion, Gay Pride, Music, Narcissists, Photos of the Day, Radio, Special Events Why did she even show up when BET dissed her azz by banning her 'Ride' video? The BAD: I searched but I couldn't find a single tweet on my timeline about pseudo-singer Ciara's awful black and gold Balmain frock paired with ankle booties. So I'm posting some of the highlights of the #BETAwards tweets from instead: Since I didn't get a chance to watch the show, the only Ugly moment for me was Chris Brown's fake tears. Judging from the tweets in my timeline from last night, the 2010 BET Awards was the best in years. The BET Awards is the singular urban spectacle of the year that manages to bring together such diverse artists as Nicki Minaj (who has zero talent), El DeBarge, Kirk Franklin and Tyrese, and make it all work. One year they even filled out the form for me and sent me the credentials with a little note saying 'your credential request has been approved,' lol. I swear I had every intention of watching this year's show, especially since the good folks at BET always take such care to send me a credential request form every year, even though I never request one. Once again, I slept through the BET Awards - or as my loyal readers call it: the EBT Awards.
