About this episode

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards delivered some big surprises and even bigger snubs! At last night's ceremony, Viola Davis finally rounded out her EGOT status after she won for the narration of her memoir, “Finding Me.” And in another huge win for Black women, Beyoncé became the most decorated Grammy winner of all time when she was awarded for her work on "Renaissance." But Queen Bey's history-making win also came with a huge loss - she was overlooked for the evening’s top honor, Album of the Year, which went to Harry Styles for his chart-topping "Harry's House." This is her fourth time losing in the category, and fans and critics are not happy about it. We love to see Bey score a record-breaking Grammy win - but what’s it gonna take for this woman to win Album of the Year already?!
