The 2017 BET Awards are in full swing, and although this year’s spectacle isn’t as big as last year’s (need us remind you of the incredible Prince tribute? Or Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar‘s fiery opening performance of “Freedom”?), there’s some big names and equally big things happening.

Chance The Rapper has picked up four nominations and just won one for Best New Artist and is also being awarded the Humanitarian Award.

Elsewhere, Migos won Best Duo/Group, while Bruno Mars, who opened up the event took home an award for Best New Artist.
