The prestigious Peabody Awards have been celebrating excellence in media since 1940. 

Though the Grammys--and for that matter, the Emmys--played themselves by denying Beyonce her crowning glory, at least the Peabody Awards know what time it is. Beyonce's landmark visual album Lemonade was among the seven winners chosen in the Entertainment category by the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors on Thursday.

Referring to Queen Bey's magnum opus as a "rich tapestry of poetic innovation," the Peabodys applauded the "audacity" of Lemonade's "reach and fierceness of its vision" that "challenges our cultural imagination, while crafting a stunning and sublime masterpiece about the lives of women of color and the bonds of friendship seldom seen or heard in American popular culture."
