Nia Long Pictures: Nia Long arrives on the red carpet at the 10th annual BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on June 27, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.
It was a night of comebacks at the 2010 BET Awards, which opened with a performance by Kanye West, his first since dissing Taylor Swift at last year's MTV Video Music Awards. Chris Brown also performed an emotional tribute to Michael Jackson, while T.I. made his first TV performance since being released from prison in December. Another notable comeback came from El DeBarge, who performed some of his classic hits like "Rhythm of the Night."
