The Deadly Awards, commonly known simply as The Deadlys, was an annual celebration of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander achievement in music, sport, entertainment and community. The first Deadlys were held in 1995, at the Boomalli Artist Co-op in the Redfern suburb of Sydney. The Deadly Awards originated as the Deadly Sounds music and culture radio show at the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-op in Redfern in 1993. They stemmed from an idea of the late Gavin Jones (1966-2014). Later venues included The Metro Theatre, the Hard Rock Café, Home in Darling Harbour and Fox Studios; since 2001, the event was held at the Sydney Opera House, hosted by Vibe Australia and broadcast by National Indigenous Television. There were later additional venues in other states.

Luke Carroll is an Australian television and film actor.

Karla Grant is an Australian presenter, producer and journalist for the SBS's national Indigenous current affairs program Living Black, focussing on issues concerning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities within Australia.
