ARIA Music Awards of 2014



The 28th Annual Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards (generally known as ARIA Music Awards or simply The ARIAs) are a series of award ceremonies which include the 2014 ARIA Artisan Awards, ARIA Hall of Fame Awards, ARIA Fine Arts Awards and ARIA Awards. The latter ceremony took place on 26 November at the Star Event Centre, and was telecast by Network Ten.

The final nominees for ARIA Awards categories were announced on 10 October, as well as nominees and winners for Fine Arts Awards and Artisan Awards. Public votes were used for the categories, Song of the Year, Best Australian Live Act, Best International Artist and Best Video.

Also on 26 November, ARIA inducted Molly Meldrum and his TV series, Countdown, into their Hall of Fame. Denis Handlin, CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand, and ARIA Chairman, was presented with the second ARIA Industry Icon Award. In October 2021 the Board of ARIA withdrew Handlin's award. Handlin had left Sony in June 2021 amid "multiple allegations of toxic culture" at the company while he was CEO.
