Panic! at the Disco Nab Top MTV Vid Award

(andPOP) - Despite a largely cold reception from critics and television audiences, this year's MTV Video Music Awards still managed one unexpected (and unscripted) surprise.

As Panic! at the Disco tried to collect their award for video of the year ("I Write Sins Not Tragedies"), an audience member rushed the stage and grabbed the microphone from one of the band members.

"MTV never gave me my own show," he said, having introduced himself only as "Sixx." He then tried to grab the trophy from presenter Jennifer Lopez before cameras turned away from the scene and he was removed.

Few other antics were as exciting, however. But award winner Pink (best pop video for "Stupid Girls") said that most of the action was happening backstage, off-camera.

"There's been some stunts, just backstage," she said, according to Reuters. "It's hard these days when everything is so sort of politically correct."
