As you may have heard, they gave out some awards in L.A. last night. The 2012 BET Awards promised to come up big with star power, performances and a brand new host in Samuel L. Jackson and for the most part, they did. This year boasted a star-studded Whitney Houston tribute as well as Humanitarian Awards for the Rev. Al Sharpton and a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award for Frankie Beverly and Maze.
