The 2010 BET Awards attempted to pack so much show into one night, the live broadcast literally went overtime and probably got cut off on your DVR. If you're wondering exactly who won what award (a full list of the winners can be found below), just know that Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj made two separate trips to the stage to collect trophies, that the film "Precious" continues to rack up wins, and that Kanye West would be happy to know that Beyonce's "Video Phone" was deemed the Best Video of All Time (well, sort of--it did win Video of the Year).

The show opened with Kanye West performing "Power"; featured B.o.B, Keyshia Cole, and Eminem performing "Airplanes"; Eminem rocked the mic solo, rapping his new hit "Not Afraid."
El DeBarge returned to the stage with a new song as well as a medley of his classic hits, and Janelle Monáe gave an energetic salute to Prince, who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
If that wasn't enough, Chris Brown paid homage to Michael Jackson in a tribute that was significantly better and more heartfelt than anything done at last year's BET Awards.
