With Australian music continue to punch well above its weight, the ARIA Awards are gaining international coverage.
Returning last night (November 26th) big winners included Chet Faker, Iggy Azalea and Sia.
Sia won four awards, and – since she was out the country – recorded acceptance speeches for each category.
Organisers chose to merely show one, with many observers branding the singer a 'no show'. In the midst of online furore, Sia tweeted to fans.
Explaining what had happened, she decided to give her trophies away – to claim one, simply verify a good deed HERE.
