Golden Mullet Awards
On October 26, 2009, the show hosted the first ever "Golden Mullet Awards" after the 8pm performance. Billed as "Broadway's fourth biggest night", the show gave out "Golden Mullets" (a mock of the Tony Award) to the best on Broadway. Many of the categories that used for the awards were also puns of songs from Rock of Ages itself.
The winners were:
-
- Nothin' But A Kick-Ass Band – Arsenal (Rock of Ages)
- Can't Fight This Feeling to Touch Your Hair – Will Swenson (Hair)
- Waiting For A Villain Like You – Christopher Sieber (Shrek the Musical)
- Cast Most Likely to Dance On a Car in a Whitesnake Video – In the Heights
- Best "In The Heat of the Moment" Moment – Constantine Maroulis and Kerry Butler (Rock of Ages)
One more award was presented to Bret Michaels of the band Poison in jest of his infamous injury at the 2009 Tony Awards, where after he was finished performing with the cast of Rock of Ages, a descending set piece knocked him down and broke his nose.

Famous quotes containing the word golden:
“His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
—George Peele (1559–1596)
