Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye West and Chris Brown were big winners at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, picking up multiple trophies each.
Jay-Z and Kanye West's The Throne collaboration won them Best Group and Video of the Year honours, while Beyonce picked up Best Female R& B Artist and Video Director of the Year, opposite her sister Solange's boyfriend Alan Ferguson.
Brown claimed the night's Best Male R&B Artist award and was also voted the fans' favourite artist overall.
It was also a big night for Whitney Houston fans - the late star was the subject of a lengthy and emotionally-charged tribute, which featured a heartfelt speech by Mariah Carey and performances from Monica, Brandy, Chaka Khan and the tragic singer's mother Cissy.
