“I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” Styles explained. “I don’t think any of us sit in the studio making decisions on what is going to get us one of these. This doesn’t happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice. Thank you very much.”

“‘This doesn’t happen to people like me’” Is the most white privilege-iest thing ever said at an Awards Show ever,” one person tweeted.
