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.) Is Missy Elliott doing better than any female artist who actually released an album in the last year? (Lil’ Mama was robbed!) Did UGK deserve “Best Group” and “Best Video” more than Playaz’ Circle and Ashanti or was it just a tribute to the passing Pimp C? (Both.) Kanye over Lil’ Wayne? (Weezy will have to settle for Viewer’s Choice.) Chris Brown over Ne-Yo? (A tragic tear under a tilted hat.)

(Winners in italics.)
