Lovable French robots Daft Punk have triumphed at the American music industry’s most important night the Grammys, taking how two awards for their live album Alive, which proved to be essential listening before and after their NeverEverLand tour of Australia in late 2007.

Nominated in the Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording categories they beat off stiff competition from a selection of cool/credible and commercial/questionable names including Hot Chip, Sam Sparro, Rihanna, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Moby, Robyn, and… errr… Cyndi Lauper. Not to be outdone, fellow Frenchmen Justice also triumphed in their field, winning the gong for Best Remixed Recording for their rework of MGMT’s Electric Feel.

We’re eagerly awaiting YouTube footage to surface so we can see whether Daft Punk accepted their awards in full robot regalia. Surely they wouldn’t have dropped the façade, especially in front of a TV audience of millions?

From what I've read, the dance awards aern't televised, so Daft Punk and Justice may have not been there at all. I hope I'm wrong though.

Cool! They do really deserve it but it does feel 7-8 years too late. Also I'm glad they got the Grammy for the Alive album as that was really well made.

a lot of the grammys weren't actually presented to the artists on the TV broadcast... most of them were just read out, so i doubt there'll be any youtube footage.

Who cares about these awards anyways. Just look at who else was up for the awards!? They need to split the categories more because comparing Madonna or Rihanna to Electronic/House etc genres is a joke. Love Daft Punk, Hot Chip, Moby and Justice though.
