Is “awe-inspired” a valid word ?
Is it okay to say “the 45 minute show left me awe-inspired forever”? Or is “awestruck” more appropriate ?

I think awestruck sounds better. Usually I hear the first term as “awe-inspiring.” I can’t remember ever hearing it in the past tense. That’s a really good question! Hopefully someone who knows their stuff in English can give you a solid answer.

I believe that awestruck sounds better. Awe-inspired doesn’t make a lot of sense because if you are awed by something it seems to me that you’d just be stunned. You can use ‘inspired’ in the next sentence, i.e. ‘this awesome event inspired me to…’
I hope this helps.
