It was a good night for popstar couple Beyonce and Jay-Z at the BET Awards in LA last night. Both artists took solo awards - she was named Best R&B Female and he Best Hip Hop Male - plus they won the award for Best Collaboration for the chart topping track 'Crazy In Love'.
The annual awards event that recognises achievement across the US black community passed without incident, despite some anticipation due to the fact it was the first major event to be broadcast without a time delay since the controversial 'Nipplegate' show at the Superbowl earlier this year. Anticipation was heightened by the fact Janet Jackson was on the bill - but everyone involved behaved appropriately.
Other music winners on the night included the unstoppable OutKast and Usher, and man of the moment Kanye West. The music categories at the event were awarded as follows:
