Beyonce

Celebrated film director Ava DuVernay (Selma, A Wrinkle In Time) takes us into the near future where America has been rebooted into greatness thanks to the foresight of some wise and strong founding Mothers.

Featured in the video alongside Jay-Z, Beyonce and their daughter Blue, is a star-studded cast including Thandie Newton, Jessica Chastain, America Ferrera, Mindy Kaling, Michael B Jordan, David Oyelowo, Brie Larson, Rosario Dawson, Rashida Jones and more.

All hail Queen Bey, who took home an early (pre-telecast) win for Best Music Video:

• Beyoncé "Formation" — Melina Matsoukas, video director | Candice Dragonas, Juliette Larthe, Nathan Scherrer & Inga Veronique, video producer | Label: Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records

And for all you Longform fans, director Ron Howard's The Beatles: Eight Days A Week The Touring Years won for Best Music Film.

If you have HBO or already bough Beyonce's Lemonade visual album, then you've already had a chance to see this "Sorry" visual. Now everyone gets to dig in, however, on what will be a new video for them.

Those New Orleans floodwaters may have receeded, but there's still anger and style a'plenty left behind, especially when Beyoncé busts loose with a surprise, yet unsurprisingly strong video that reconnects her with her roots.

And the video winners for the 2015 BET Awards are:

Video Of The Year

• Beyonce "7/11"

Video Director Of The Year

• Beyoncé, Ed Burke & Todd Tourso

Visit BET.com for a recap, including the returns of icon Janet Jackson and the vintage era Bad Boy crew. 

Beyonce's suprise game is mad TIGHT. "7/11" comes tumbling down like a perfect crap roll — see what I did there? — and seeming like an off-the-cuff homemovie except that it's a) really good and b) hits almost every hip bulletpoint you can think of: Twerking? Yep. Red cups? Sure, why not. Kale? Of course, it's the vegetable of the year (sorry, Cauliflower).

Holy crap. An all-star, action packed trailer for Jay Z and Beyonce first feature film coming... NEVER. So, breath a sigh of relief, since all involved surely know that this compilation of action flick cliches would be a clunker even by Hollywood crap standards.

That said: We get Beyonce at her hottest, Jay at his most badass and cast that would be the envy of any blockbuster: Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Guillermo Diaz, Emmy Rossum, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Rashida Jones and Kidada Jones. 

And if you want to see Jay and Bey' on the run together: Go get your tickets for their tour — which is what this trailer is really meant to promote.
