Taika was invited to present an award during the 2012 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards at Vector Arena in Auckland on 1st November. Other presenters included such celebs as Karl Urban, Mumford & Sons and Ben Harper.

Of course, the title of this post is just a joke, because there’s no such category, but if there was, surely Taika would have won it. Here are some examples of what people tweeted during the ceremony.

Kimbra and Six60 were the biggest winners of that evening. Personally, I’m really happy for The Black Seeds who won Best Roots Album Award for their Dust And Dirt.
