At the 76th Annual Peabody Awards, Beyoncé's Lemonade won in which category?

At the 76th Annual Peabody Awards, Beyoncé's Lemonade won in the Entertainment category.

The ceremony took place in 2017 and honored work from 2016. Lemonade was recognized not merely as a music album, but as an ambitious visual and television work combining songs, poetry, film, choreography, and documentary-style imagery. The Peabody jury praised its treatment of betrayal, renewal, hope, Black womanhood, family, and community.

The award can cause confusion because Lemonade also received major recognition in music and television. It earned Grammy nominations including Album of the Year and Best Music Film, while "Formation" won a Grammy for Best Music Video. Those honors belong to different award systems and categories; the Peabody result itself was Entertainment, not Documentary, News, or Education.

Lemonade's Peabody was also notable because the project crossed conventional genre boundaries. Its visual album format made it difficult to classify as only a record, film, or television special, which is precisely why the jurors emphasized its innovative cultural and artistic reach.
