Inside, people danced on the staircase while the awards ceremony replayed on the big screen in the upstairs ESPN room. Downstairs, Beyonce was featured on all the screens.

The 40/40 VIP room was packed with stars, including Andre 3000, John Legend, Young Jeezy, NBA star Kenyon Martin, Nicole Richie, Rick Ross, Slim Thug, Fabolous, Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar, Kelly Rowland, L.A. Reid and Mathew, Solange and mama Tina Knowles.
