Sia 'Snubbed' By ARIA. Gives Away Her Awards

Sia Furler
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

Sia said she was "getting sh$t for being a no-show" at the ARIAs. Then she got petty. Then humanity became cringeworthy.



Prolific singer/ songwriter/ collaborator Sia Furler tweeted her sadness claiming she "received shit" for not attending the ARIAs held in Sydney last week. The reclusive, US-based celeb, didn't make the trans-pacific commute but did record four acceptance awards; only one of which was shown on the night. In apparent retaliation to the perceived snub, and despite seeing fit to record four speeches, Sia changed tack with an ostentatious Tweet seeking to give way the thanked-for gongs ...


... which sparked a cringeworthy response from those seeking to profit from good deeds … sia tweet aria
... and so the Sia show rolls on. For the record, she awarded the first gong to Wayne B (above). Uggh.

SIA SNUB UPDATE: 30 November 2014

Sia has since tweeted us that she was not snubbing the ARIAs and that she gives away all of her awards.

Perhaps she should take greater care when juxtaposing tweets? She told the world she was saddened for "getting shit as a no-show" and in the same Tweet pointed out that not all of her pre-recorded speeches were aired [weird in its own right] — and then just four minutes later tweeted she was giving away all her gongs:
