The BET Awards 2009 [Performances // Winners]

Tonight, the BET Awards 2009 will take place in Los Angeles. I don’t normally stay awake for these kinda things (except the Grammy’s maybe) but tonight is clearly going to be all about honouring Michael Jackson and so, I will be staying up into the wee hours of the night to tune in.

I’m gonna be posting the action as it happens, so tune in and for Heaven’s sake follow me on Twitter! Tonight is gonna be crazy over there.
