Alternative rock band Muse has won an MTV Music Video Award for special effects for “Uprising”, a music video directed by Hydra. The band rides through a dystopic, ultra slo-mo world in a 1938 GMC pickup truck, dodging the plastic dolls and sparking wires. An army of destructive teddy bears rises from the ground, wreaking destruction on all who get in their way.
