Why would The Carters miss this award show with JayZ being bestowed upon such a prestigious award. I am sure it only added more hype to the show with Jay and B showing up. Also you know that B was going to win EOTY since they did not win in any other category. They only won the two biggest honors of the night. This award shows are all the same now if a big name shows up it is because they are being honored or expect to win big.
