The BET Awards aired its 20th annual show in the midst of a global pandemic, a civil racial justice movement, and the thriving technological age making this anniversary one for the books.

This past Saturday, at 8 p.m., the 20th annual BET award show was hosted from the home of the stunning Amanda Seales who slayed several different natural hairstyles that served as inspiration for many black naturals tuning in for the evening.

The demands of social distancing stopped both artists and audiences from congregating to enjoy a live show, but thanks to the recent generations’ comfort with technology, the entertainment provided by the BET Awards did not miss a beat.

The entire show was filled with fashion, comedy, great talent and thrill, but many artists also took the opportunity to represent for the Black Lives Matter Movement amongst the racial tension from racial injustices resurfacing across America.

Commentary about the award show was kept live through social media platforms, especially ones like #blacktwitter where commentary on black culture and social issues thrive.
