At the BET Awards last night, Beyoncé won the Viewer's Choice Award for Lemonade's "Sorry." Of course, with newborn twins to attend to she didn't make an appearance, but sent her protégés and Parkwood Entertainment talents Chloe x Halle to accept the honor in her absence.

After calling her an "iconic artist, a trend setter, a rule maker, a rule breaker, and our forever inspiration and mentor," the sisters read a beautiful speech Bey wrote thanking her family and fans:

Thank you BET for this award and your tremendous support of Lemonade. This has been a journey of love, of celebrating our culture, honoring the past, and approaching the present and future with hope and resolve. Thank you to my mother Tina Knowles Lawson for being my biggest, biggest teacher and consistent influence. Thank you to my entire family for so much love. To my team at Parkwood, thank you. And thanks to all the fans, my BeyHive, for riding with me. I love and appreciate you. To everyone at the show tonight, you all look so beautiful and at home, thank you and have a wonderful, wonderful night. From, Beyonce.
