Sheryl Underwood hosted the awards, with several famous faces presenting and announcing the winners.
Jackée Harry, Robert Scott Wilson, Deidre Hall, Heather Tom, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Tanner Novlan, Michelle Stafford, Bryton James, Brytni Sarpy, Donnell Turner, Cynthia Watros, and Kelly Thiebaud were all on hand to give out awards.
