BET will broadcast the awards show Monday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. Central.

Actress Gabrielle Union hosted the star-studded affair, which also featured an on-stage appearance by First Lady Michelle Obama.
“There is not an honoree who I don’t feel a connection to. It’s truly an amazing group of people,” Kearney said. “I am humbled and inspired. For me, this is the highest honor I’ve been given. I’m blessed to be among such great individuals.”
