The eligibility period was for material released in the previous calendar year with the final five nominees determined by independent auditors, Deloitte, Haskin & Sells. Presenters of the 20 awards included John, Turner, promoter-manager Glenn Wheatley, Country music veteran Slim Dusty, Music Around the World host Basia Bonkowski, and Sounds Unlimited host Donnie Sutherland. The 1987 ceremony was not televised, host John recommended that it not be televised in future: if you want to keep these awards fun. The only reason I agreed to do this is because it's not on television. If, in future years, you keep it like that, I think it means something more because it's much more personal.http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an41896781 Molly Meldrum presents 50 years of rock in Australia Jenkins Jeff Ian Meldrum Ian Meldrum 228–229 2007 Wilkinson Publishing Melbourne, Vic 978-1-921332-11-1 25 May 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090624000314/http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an41896781 24 June 2009 live Elton John Anthony O'Grady, an Australian music journalist, cited ARIA founder and spokesperson Peter Rix, "Not that the first awards would have been allowed on TV ...
