We can't recall the last time BET put on a weak awards show. In fact, we're pretty sure it has never happened. Since the show was first established back in 2001, the BET Awards have been one of the most entertaining show around.

Just take a look at all of the names expected to show up: 

Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Quentin Tarantino, Beyonce, Rick Ross, Kanye West, 2 Chainz, Usher and much much more.
