As we reported yesterday, BET hosted back-to-back events for its third annual Honors awards, taking over the Meridian House for a V.I.P. honoree dinner on Friday night, the Warner Theatre for the awards show on Saturday, and the Ronald Reagan Building for the ensuing late-night after-party. Here's another look at what stood out.
