The 21st Annual Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards (generally known as ARIA Music Awards or simply The ARIAs) were held on October 28, 2007 at the Acer Arena at the Sydney Olympic Park complex, thus continuing the previous year's innovation of televising the awards on Sunday evening. Rove McManus was the host of the event. The nominees for all categories were announced on September 19, 2007, while the winners of the Artisian Awards were announced on the same day.

ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees

Added to these inductees on 2007-10-28 was::

Instead of a traditional acceptance speech, Cave noted that he didn't understand why he was inducted and the Bad Seeds weren't. Due to the membership of Tomas Wylder (Switzerland), Jim Sclavunos (USA), and James Johnston (UK), the band don't qualify as Australian. In rebellion against this ruling, Cave unofficially inducted Mick Harvey, Warren Ellis, Conway Savage and Martyn P. Casey of the Bad Seeds; as well as Rowland S. Howard and Tracey Pew of the Birthday Party; "by the power vested in [him] by this award". Cave did not name Hugo Race of the Bad Seeds nor Phill Calvert of The Birthday Party, who are Australian, in his unofficial induction. He did, however, close by thanking his mother, wife and sons.

Performers

It was announced that the following artists will be the special performers of the event:

Controversy

The 2007 awards were mired by controversy, after it was revealed by the ABC's Media Watch programme that Channel 10 had used subliminal advertising during the course of the broadcast. Under the Australian Media and Broadcasting rules, such an activity is illegal, as it is a form of mind control. TEN disputes the findng, however their basis for defence was also criticised by Media Watch, as demonstrating an ignorance of the rules.
