Last night Australia was presented with the 25th ARIA Awards ceremony - and what a night of celebration it was. Favourites Boy & Bear and Gotye cleaned up, as predicted, collecting five and three awards each respectively.
Australian superstar Kylie Minogue was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, by old friend and music guru Molly Meldrum and Prime Minister Julia Gillard. "I'm a very proud Australian. Tonight's award means so much to me," Minogue told a star-studded crowd.
Minogue delivered an exceptional speech; which included thanking her family, her fans and those in the industry.
Other awards on the night went to Cut Copy for their Zonoscope album (for Best Dance Release); Guy Sebastain claimed the Highest Selling Single for Who's That Girl (feat. Eve) and US singer/songwriter P!nk reigned with the Most Popular International Artist.
The coveted Best Male Artist and Best Female Artist awards went to Gotye and Kimbra; with Single of teh Year and Album of the Year going to Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know and Boy & Bear's Moonfire respectively.
