The Honors are scheduled to air on BET on February 22nd but if you're one of those who can't wait to see who was there, see below:

Other things to note: Stevie Wonder had an amazing performance, Ne-Yo gave a tribute to Micheal Jackson since it's the 25th Anniversary of the Thriller Album (I hear Micheal was supposed to show and BET wasted $40,000. Dag, Mike!), Vivica Fox presented and got wasted at the reception and Gladys Knight got a standing ovation for her performance.
