BET Awards 2012: Winners List

The Carter household won plenty to celebrate! Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z copped (2) two awards each at the 2012 BET Awards on Sunday July 1, 2012. After Kanye West, the married duo topped the nominations list and mockingly duked it out for the night’s big award, Video of the Year (the Throne won, and B playfully jabbed her husband when their name was called). Beyoncé was the second-most-nominated act of the night with (6) six awards.
Chris Brown also cupped two awards.
