Beyoncé made a surprise appearance at AFI's gala for Life Achievement Award honoree Denzel Washington to present an award to director Melina Matsoukas.
As stars and entertainment world insiders gathered at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on Thursday to honor actor Denzel Washington as he received the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award, they were surprised by another icon gracing their presence.
“After over a decade of collaborating with Melina we’ve become family,” Beyoncé told the crowd. “In 2005 she managed to shoot five videos with me in three days, creating beautiful imagery with little to no budget. We’ve come a long ways since those days.” She added: “As a woman of color, conformity is not her thing. She stays authentic to her roots and femininity in an industry dominated by men. Her drive, vision, taste level and storytelling is boldly unapologetic.”When Matsoukas took the stage, she was clearly in shock, telling the crowd, “I texted her days ago and she didn’t get back to me.”
