May or may not be music execs, but what we are sure all aware of is that judging for the entire ACRAs lack integrity with a high number of questionable winners (no names, repeat names, favoured names) and even great number of questionable material that is submitted to first gain a nomination.
People turn up to awards nights to talk shop and keep up appearances but all know that the ACRAs are far from quality in decision making to that of the Walkleys or Quill, even for the news categories.
For the record of those who handwring over such trivia, I’ve never submitted a nomination because I’ve never worked in this sector and am glad for that.
