If you could vomit on your plasma television and watch the chunks drip down the screen for 2 and a half hours, this could have been more substantial than what I (and luckily only 600,000 other australians) endured. This ratings nightmare only scraped the 15th most viewed program on Sunday night which in itself is a disaster. The production company behind this rubbish should have their ABN shredded.
A terrible minimalist format left the show looking shabby and unprofessional. Presenters struggled to read the tele prompter and embarrassed themselves and the network with elementary slips which would have left the blind, deaf, dumb and stupid shaking their heads in awkwardness.
You were probably too disgusted to realise that we were looking at a celebration of Australian music industry talent, so for those of you who missed it whilst watching this joke they called a telecast, here are the award winners of both the technical and public voted categories.

Notable mentions to the Hot Right Now goddess Sia. Dripping in gold, this Hot Right Now favourite won 2 awards on the Australian music industries, ahem, night of nights, nabbing best Pop Release and Best Independent Release.
Some advice to Angus & Julia Stone. Your music is top notch, but learn to deal with the public or get your publicist to muzzle you, because we think its not right now to waste our time listening to dribble which is just irrelevant.
Hot Right Now, Australian Music. Not Right Now, how it is butchered on Television for the world to see.

This shit bomb sizzle reel will have you squirming with discomfort like that first time you ever watched the video for Get Em Girls.
