The Brooklyn duo, who were nominated for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Pop Performance by a Duo/Group', claim that they felt like outsiders because the ceremony focused on a small group of high-profile artists, The Canadian Press reports.
Andrew VanWyngarden said: "We felt honoured to have been nominated, but the whole event and that kind of experience itself, we felt really uncomfortable the whole time.
"It almost feels like it's a giant marketing campaign for five or six bands. We just kind of felt like, 'What are we doing here?', like, 'Wow, we've infiltrated this kind of upper-level mainstream and we're so weird'."
MGMT's new album Congratulations is out now.
