2009 BET Award Winners List

Michael Jackson and a tribute ceremony in his honor dominated the BET Awards on Sunday night.

Joe Jackson, the father of the 50-year-old pop legend, who died of a suspected cardiac arrest last Thursday, was one of the first to pay homage to his son, speaking about him on the red carpet at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium.

He said: "I wish the world had recognised him when he was living. Right now, he's bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this."

Stars like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, and Ne-Yo also mentioned the late King of Pop. Ne-Yo's rendition of Michael's hit Lady In My Life brought Joe to tears, while Ciara covered Heal The World.

There was so much emphasis on Michael and his extraordinary life, we almost forgot it was an awards show! Check out the list of winners below and let us know what you thought about the show.

R.i.p Michael Jackson. Joe Jackson can get lost he had no right to be at michaels memorial he never cared about him. He abused him, didnt care about him & took the piss out of him. I woulden't be suprised if he grows old and lonely it serves him right for everything he did. He ruined Michaels life calling him '' big nose'' which caused him to get surgery. Your evil and spitful Joe you disgrace me im not suprised if none of ur children ever speak 2 u agen dats what u get for everything terrible u have done u disgraceful man!!

BET sucks....reverse DISCRIMINATION! Watch TLC instead: She'll never be able to escape Jon with all those CHINESE kids around that look just like him...and nothing like HER!Jon is a sinner...and Kate is a SAINT! Whip those kids into shape, Kate! Give them no water, as they will surely wet their britches on camera...UGH! Spank them liberally and often...especially when they make a mess or whine...et Voila!

2:33PM 06/29/09 StarryEyes87

but congrats to all!

2:32PM 06/29/09 StarryEyes87

Kobe should have won not LeBron!

Boy, talk about discrimination; There's the black only awards, the women only awards & the Latin only awards, but segregate anything for whites only and EVERYBODY screams foul. Get a grip America, there is NO equality here, if you are just a white male.

The BET Awards highly disappointed me. Not only was it a hot mess, but they decided to cut Chris Brown off at the last minute. Please sign petition for him to perform a tribute to MJ at the VMAs 2009. twitition.com/tbife

In my opinion, Joe Jackson was a sorry father to those children. The way he pushed them and deprived them of a childhood was no less than child abuse! He was a mean spirited S.O.B!

Congrats to the winners. I don't have a lot of love for Joe Jackson.
