She felt that Morris was "winner of the unofficial prize for least-liked personality. ... () aimed a poor one-liner at British presenter Bryan Ferry".〔 However the "greatest revelation of the evening proved that there are more sore losers in the business than the small screen would lead us to believe. When a winner happened to be a little unpopular, the beautiful people booed".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ARIA Music Awards of 1988」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
