The album was nominated for five Grammy Awards at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards ( 2015 ) , including Album of the Year , Best Urban Contemporary Album , Best Surround Sound Album and Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for " Drunk in Love " , winning the latter three . In a recreation of an infamous incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards , Kanye West briefly appeared on stage during the presentation of the Album of the Year award to Becks '' Morning Phase '' ( 2014 ) in protest of '' Beyoncé '' not winning . While it initially appeared to be a joke as West returned to his seat , he said in comments following the ceremony that Beck " needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé " . He later apologized for his comments
