ARIA Awards 2020: All the best moments as they happened

Tim Minchin didn't mince his words as he gave one instruction to the people of Australia while presenting an ARIA Award. 

Cheeky quips from Guy Sebastian and Tim Minchin bookended this year's ARIA Awards, an at-times stilted affair that suffered without the presence of a live audience. 

World-renowned band Tame Impala were the night's biggest winners, taking home five awards including Album of the Year. Botswana-based Aussie rapper Sampa The Great also won big, picking up three awards including Best Female Artist.

The show's host Delta Goodrem was also a winner on the red carpet, looking stunning in a plunging strapless silver gown. 

Guy Sebastian picked up the first award of the night for Best Video, and let slip an X-rated quip referencing golfing legend Greg Norman's recent revealing Instagram post. Glancing at presenter Joel Creasey's skin-tight one-piece suit, Sebastian quipped: "Greg Norman wouldn't be able to wear that."

And later in the night, Tim Minchin offered another welcome unscripted moment when he gave music lovers some advice for 2021, as the arts industry hopefully gets back on its feet: "Do please buy a f**king ticket!"
