Gotye is a unique songwriter who creates music that may not necessarily win Grammy's but is definitely brilliant. I don't believe winning awards is his main motivation. He is an original musical artist.

So humble. Only beautiful souls could have lyrics and hit notes so impactful.

Now they are somebody that we used to know. 😢

This is actually a legendary moment

There‘s so much going on in this video. Thoughts can‘t help but drift to the contemplation of a love triangle - they both just look so incredibly fond of the guy, and a swell and dashing fella he seems to be too. Prince is just on his own plane (and is now there permanently). It‘s one of those (award) moments where you sense it‘s the recipients‘ entire life condensed into this one moment.
