Chris Brown and Frank Ocean, feuding since their Jan. 27 altercation over a parking spot, were both up for Urban Contemporary Album award at Sunday night's Grammys.

Ocean won the category, but while everyone else in the room gave him a standing ovation, Brown conspicuously remained seated. CBS cameras framed the moment perfectly, as captured by the GIF below (courtesy of The Atlantic):

According to The Hollywood Reporter, no one clapped when Brown's name was announced as a nominee. Some speculate that CBS added an applause track to the actual broadcast.
