There were plenty of good looks, scrumptious surprises and special guests from here and abroad at last night’s Vodafone MTV Australia Awards at Sydney’s Darling Harbour Convention Centre. Hosted by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, the red carpet came alive with a cavalcade of stars including Dannii Minogue, Duffy, Delta and anyone else with a name starting with ‘D’. On stage, meanwhile, there were some glittering performances including a rather fluorescent one by local songstress Sia and a rockin’ closer by a new-look Wolfmother.
But the voting fans sent all but two of this year’s MTV gongs offshore, with Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Pink taking out the main prizes. Only Jessica Mauboy and Sneaky Sound System flew the flag for the locals and ‘Best Aussie’ couldn’t really go to anyone but an Aussie performer. Where’s the support for the locals!!!?
