ARIA 2019 NOMINEES The finest Aussie acts of the year have been granted their ARIA nomination nods; here's who we think deserves the coveted pointy trophy in the major six categories, the winners of which will be announced on Nov 27. Don't forget to tell us your picks for the chance to win an AudioTechnica LP60X Fully AutomaticTurntable.

Best Female Artist Amy Shark , Mess Her Up Jessica Mauboy , Little Things Julia Jacklin , Crushing Thelma Plum , Better In Blak

Breakthrough Artist G Flip , About Us Stella Donnelly , Beware Of The Dogs The Teskey Brothers , Run Home Slow

Tones And I , Dance Monkey

WE THINK: Tones And I

“The hype around [Tones And I] surpasses even that which circled Tash Sultana a few years ago. But it is – like that other seasoned busker quickly courted by Sony Music – totally warranted." (Aug '19)

Thelma Plum , Better In Blak Tones And I , Dance Monkey

WE THINK: G Flip “ About Us is as deep a stamp into the red wax of 2019 as we’re likely to hear. It’s also, without question, only the beginning for G Flip.” (Aug '19)

Best Male Artist Dean Lewis , A Place We Knew Guy Sebastian , Choir

Hayden James , Between Us Matt Corby , Rainbow Valley Paul Kelly , Nature

WE THINK: Paul Kelly “These are simple stories with deceptive depth... He declares, 'Pretty soon we’ll all be dust.' Perhaps, but Paul Kelly’s works will remain.” (Oct '18)
