Bon Iver has upset some Grammy viewers by winning two awards last night, despite many people not knowing who he is.

The succesful musician, who is better known as Justin Vernon (pictured), has released two critically acclaimed albums and was rewarded with Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album at the Grammys for his self titled 2011 record, which features the single 'Holocene'.

Nicki Minaj and Skrillex were both in the running for Best New Artist but missed out on the gong, much to the upset of their fans. Angry and surprised to see what they consider a 'nobody' winning the prize, fans of both acts expressed their feelings on Twitter.

"All I'm wondering is who the f*cking hell is Bon Iver and how did he beat @Skrillex" Tweeted one fan.

Another added: "Who is Bonny Bear with this wannabe combover & Minanite beard?"
