The ESPYS are the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards. The candidates for the awards are selected by the ESPY Select Nominating Committee and the winners are chosen by online fan voting. Having previously attended the ESPYS, I highly recommend you tuning in. There is a decent red carpet with a wide variety of guests including athletes, models, actors, and musicians.
Here is a list of some of the most anticipated awards with my picks in italics:

- Track and Field: Usain Bolt - 100M and 200M
