Well, This Is What The Arias Looked Like 10 Years Ago

Wow, the '00s vibes were extremely strong that year.

1. First of all, Ricki Lee's eyebrows and the selfies that Jessica Mauboy took suited the year perfectly well.

Seriously, have you ever seen a more 2008 phone than that one?

2. As did the fact that Australian Idol was still alive and thriving, with a bunch of contestants gracing the red carpet.

3. Oh, and Ruby Rose was on the red carpet too but as a MTV presenter, not an actor.

Who would've thought she'd become more famous than Vanessa Amorosi 10 years later?

4. The Veronicas were also there, of course.

Long before Jess had any sort of romantic relationship with Ruby Rose.

5. Australia's funniest sons, Hamish and Andy, hosted the affair.

7. Then P!nk proved she's basically an Aussie herself by performing her single "So What" with a ride-on mower.

13. And The Wiggles unsurprisingly took home the award for Best Children's album, but didn't rock up so please enjoy this photo of their manager.
