<p>Some moments drew laughs while others were just crass, but these were some of  the most awkward moments from the 2009 BET Awards.</p>
<p><strong>5) OG Don Cornelius Is Left Hanging</strong></p>
<p>Proof positive that BET needs to step their teleprompter game up. Presenter Don Cornelius was left to ramble between pregnant pauses to the point where even one of the O&#8217;Jay&#8217;s joked that &#8220;Don, is still talking&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>4) Kerry Hilson is a hero to most&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Keri must have thought Mike&#8217;s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley was in the audience because the end of her set looked more like an Elvis tribute than anything else.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>3) Ving Rames Draws Guns &amp; Butter</strong></p>
<p>While Tyrese and Taraji P Henson drew a good laugh imitating their characters from <em>Baby Boy</em>, co-star Ving Rhames took it one step too far stating that &#8220;Michael Jackson is guns and butter is these other punk a$$ award shows&#8221; referring to his &#8220;Guns and Butter&#8221; speech.  Yes, Mike appreciates in value, we get it, but the execution and timing were just bad.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>2) Young Money &amp; The Young Girls</strong></p>
<p>As if Drake sitting on a stool wasn&#8217;t weird enough (he was reportedly nursing a torn ACL) the inclusion of these pre-teen girls as the backdrop to the raunchy, &#8220;Every Girl&#8221; was not a good look.</p>

<p><strong>1) Eddie Levert tests the censors</strong></p>
<p>In the middle of his acceptance speech for the O&#8217;Jay&#8217;s Lifetime Achievement Award, Eddie Levert began reminiscing about Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;Black or White&#8221; video shoot. His trip down memory lane took a slight detour into the gutter but he recovered in style.</p>
<p>&#8220;Snow was blowing, wind was blowing and people was dancing and sh*t&#8230;&#8221; The censors were asleep at the wheel and the faux pas made the air. After catching himself he recovered with the admission, &#8220;My name is Eddie&#8230;this is what I do.&#8221;</p>
