In a first for The Green Room Awards Ceremony, the entire proceedings were broadcast online from YouTube here. NIDA congratulates all the nominees and winners, including several of our alumni.
It was an important event to continue, and celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of the Australian performing arts, in an unprecedented time during the COVID-19 crisis. Hosted by Otto & Astrid, Berlin’s (self-appointed) Prince and Princess of Art Rock and Europop, the nominees and winners were announced by actor Rob Meldrum via a series of YouTube clips
To present the 37th Annual Green Room Awards, members of the judging panel saw approximately 340 productions across all art forms.
