Upon receiving the award Lady gaga announced that the grant would be donated to Sir. Elton John's AIDS foundation, focusing on orphans and youth in America born with HIV or AIDS. The award was presented in the newly constructed Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik where many of Iceland's public figures were present. Lady Gaga was especially impressed by Reykjavik mayor, comedian and human rights activist Jón Gnarr which showed up for the ceremony wearing an Obi Wan Kanobi costume to everyone's amusement.
