Many people had high hopes that Beyoncé might take home an award for Lemonade at the 2016 Emmys last night.
When it debuted on HBO earlier this year, it was hailed as a visual and musical "masterpiece."
Fans also praised it for its celebration of black womanhood and for amplifying #BlackLivesMatter.
For her work on Lemonade, Beyoncé was nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, in conjunction with director Kahlil Joseph.
And yet, the HBO special was shut out in all four categories, so understandably the Beyhive swarmed. 🐝🐝🐝
How you gonna bring Laverne Cox up to present an award Beyoncé is nominated in and have her give it to two white men #Emmys
the emmys itself should have been in the in memoriam section since it disrespected beyoncé
LEMONADE > > > > GREASE LIVE, DEAD, ANY OTHER FORM OF BEING
Grease Live won over Beyonce's #LEMONADE? #Emmys
Grease Live. Beat out #LEMONADE. Okay. 👀👀👀 #Emmys
Me at @TheEmmys after #LEMONADE lost to Grease Live of all things
But it's OK, there is a silver lining.
i dont think lemonade needed to win an emmy because it would be like putting a burger king crown on a glowing orb of eternal light & beauty.
Emmy or not, she's still a queen no matter what.
