Beyoncé had a spectacular night, winning five of six awards, including Best Contemporary R&B Album ,Best R&B Song ,Best Rap/Sung Collaboration,Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance while Outkast picked up the big award for the night, Album of the Year, for their multiplatinum, chart-topping double album, Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below plus Best Urban/Alternative Performance ("Hey Ya!") and  Best Rap Album .

Many people would have thought 50 Cent should have grabbed a few awards but that was not the case..the Best New Artist award was handed to goth-rockers Evanescence .

As the band settled at the podium to accept the award, 50 Cent rushed the stage, walked past the members of Evanescence and strolled off in an utter moment of defiance.

50 Cent went up against Eminem in two categories that pitted the mentored with the mentor. But with his song "Lose Yourself," from the soundtrack to his film 8 Mile, Eminem beat his protégé for Best Rap Male Solo Performance and Best Rap Song.
