ARIA Awards

We’re busy people here at CMU, but never too busy to bring you yet another list of award winners. Actually, we were too busy to provide you with a list of American Music Award winners last week. But fuck it, they’re voted for by the American public, and they’re all idiots (apart from all you American CMU Daily readers out there, you’re not idiots, but we made you honorary Swedes for the purpose of that last sentence).

Anyway, here’s a link to the recent AMA winners list, meanwhile below you will find the list of winners from this weekend just gone’s ARIA Awards in Australia, which are sort of the Aussie BRITS, a really big deal down under that scored nearly as many viewers as a repeat of ‘Big Bang Theory’ for its telecast on Sunday night (according to news.com.au). Good times.
