Awards

Richard Kingsmill of Triple J said "It's been fantastic watching Sarah's career build over the last 7 years. We've admired the way she's carved her own niche in an industry that often supports bands more than it does solo artists. Her latest album is another solid body of work that has heard her diversify her song writing and incorporate some great new elements. She's pure class and she thoroughly deserves this award."[1]

Australian Video of the Year
Director Artist and Song Result
Alex Roberts Art vs. Science - "Parlez vous Francais?" Won
Yanni Kronenberg and Lucinda Schreiber Firekites - "Autumn Story" Nominated
Sam Bennetts Bluejuice - "Broken Leg" Nominated
Pradeep Senanayake Astronomy Class - "Where You At?" Nominated
Ton Noakes The Scare - "Could Be Bad" Nominated
Chris Frey Karnivool - "Set Fire To The Hive" Nominated

Brendan Hutchens from Triple J said "There were some outstanding Australian music videos made in 2009 and narrowing down all possibilities to just six nominees was a tough ask. The Art vs Science clip 'Parlez Vous Francais' directed by Alex Roberts has a fantastic original concept, brilliant performances, perfect timing, great design elements, strong camera work and editing that all together produces an interesting relationship with the song and engages the viewer for the full 4 minute duration. It stood out as being brilliant amongst brilliance."[1]

Unearthed Artist of the Year
Artist Notes Result
The Middle East A musical collective based in Townsville. Won
Philadelphia Grand Jury Winners of the Sydney Big Day Out competition. Nominated
Seth Sentry A Melbourne hip hop artist. Nominated
Washington Winner of the Melbourne Big Day Out competition. Nominated

Richard Kingsmill said "The Middle East won us and our listeners over with one simple thing - great songs. They really have a magical chemistry and it's exciting to have watched how they've progressed across 2009. Overseas interest is building and their debut album will be one of the anticipated releases of 2010. To think they were on the verge of breaking up before we spotted them on Unearthed makes us feel a little bit warm inside too."[1]

gollark: I don't think it actually has that much effect on the lower level functioning of the civil service etc.
gollark: Infrastructure projects run over budget and over time all the time for no apparent reason.
gollark: I don't mean the cabinet, I mean the rest of the government and large companies.
gollark: It seems like regardless of how you pick the leaders and whatever, big organisations just operate increasingly badly over time/scale.
gollark: In any case, I don't even know if there's any way to get stable, fair and actually competent large-scale governance at this point.
