Ceremony details
At the 1991 ceremony Gary Morris, manager for Midnight Oil, provided a 20-minute acceptance speech.[4] Former Countdown host and music commentator, Ian "Molly" Meldrum, disapproved of Morris' speech length—they had already had a fracas at the ARIAs in 1988—Meldrum provided one of the longest acceptance speeches in ARIA history for his "Special Achievement Award".[4]
