Samantha Ofole-Prince Hosted by comedian Damon Wayans, this year’s event promises to be jam-packed with laughs and electrifying performances from some of today’s hottest performers and entertainers. This year’s festivities will air live on Tuesday, June 27 from Los Angeles’s historic Shrine Auditorium at 8 p.m. (ET)/7 p.m. (CT), (tape delay to Mountain and Pacific Time Zones) and will honor the best in 15 categories in music, film, video and sports. As in previous years, the BET online audience will be able to give their input by logging on to www.bet.com to vote for their favorite performer in the BET.com Viewers’ Choice poll, which occurs in “real time” during the awards telecast. Audiences will also be able to be a part of the BET Awards experience by selecting this year’s BET Ultimate Fan. The online community will be able to view 10 previously-selected video entries for the individual who can prove himself to be the ultimate fan. BET’s own Terrence J and Roxy will host a special “106 & Park: Live from the Red Carpet” pre-show. The special edition of the high-rated show will feature a mix of music videos, live red carpet footage as the big name guests arrive, and special live performances. A post show broadcast will take viewers behind-the-scenes for a host of interviews, reactions to the night’s performances and winners, and evening highlights. At the BET Awards nomination conference, where Chaka Khan was named the "Lifetime Achievement Award" recipient, she offered support for the equally talented Whitney Houston who has been plagued with reports of drug addiction. "I think we should offer our prayers and support for whatever she is going through and give her space. I love her [Whitney] very much and she knows I am there for her if she wants me," she said. Khan, whose son was acquitted of murder charges said she could relate to what Houston is going through as she has been through "similar tough circumstances."
