Loading ...The list of winners from last night’s BET Awards is full of fascination and surprise for any nerd who can’t help but care. Did the right “feat. T-Pain” win Best Collaboration? (Yes.)

(Weezy will have to settle for Viewer’s Choice.) Chris Brown over Ne-Yo? (A tragic tear under a tilted hat.)
