The 2019 ARIA Awards were held last night, and as expected, Byron Bay's very own Tones And I was the big winner. She took home four awards, for Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Breakthrough Artist and Best Independent Release.

Guy Sebastian, Dean Lewis and The Teskey Brothers also won multiple awards, with Guy winning two publicly voted categories; grabbing the Best Video and Song Of The Year Awards.

The night was full of highlights, so if you didn't get a chance to watch the event - here's what you missed.

Tones And I's heartfelt acceptance speech

Honestly, what can't she do?

Seeing three women of colour perform on Australian national TV is sadly a rare occurrence, but Thelma performing Better In Blak in a lone spotlight was really something else. 

This was a fucking highlight in my career and @ThelmaPlum_ deserves every damn accolade she gets and more https://t.co/BU8dQXZheV

Hilltop Hoods giving their stance on a hot topic

Now we know what they're thinking about every day.

Hilltop Hoods just dropped our first ‘Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself’ of the night in their Best Live Act acceptance speech. #ARIAs

Ball Park Music's tweets

Ball Park Music may not have been at the ARIAs - but their Twitter feed would have made you think differently.

We’re probably going to do the Tones and I in reverse and finish our career busking on the streets of Byron #ARIAs
