2010 Logies: Who didn’t make the cut already?

Sarah Wilson was Presenter on the highest rating show in 2009 -but it wasn't enough to land her on Logie's shortlist. Who else is out of the running before nominations are even announced?

Sarah Wilson was Presenter on the highest rating show in 2009 -but it wasn’t enough to land her on the shortlist for 2010 Logie Nominations.

The Masterchef host is now out of the race for Best Presenter and Gold Logie before the race even begins. But she is in good company.

Yesterday’s list of possible contenders published by TV Week again utilised a voting system it has employed in recent years: an individual numerical code for each actor, actress and presenter as a way of facilitating the results. It contrasts with a historical method used for many years with a blank magazine form allowing a wide-open field. The numerical voting system once again neglects to include an “Other” as it did in 2009.

The Gold Logie nominees will be whittled down from a field of those same actors, actresses and presenters.

But some of television’s big names and quiet achievers haven’t made it past the first hurdle this year in the Popular categories.

They include Ed Kavalee, John Waters, Daryl Somers, Tom Oliver, Ryan Moloney, Dave Hughes, Steve Bisley, Alan Fletcher, Sam Clark, Cornelia Frances, Ajay Rochester, Brian McFadden, Hamish Blake, Andy Lee, Kestie Morassi, James Morrison, David Reyne, Kim Watkins, Tim Ross, Merrick Watts, Andrew Denton, Henry Roth, Jimmy Barnes, Larry Emdur, Kylie Gillies, Matt Passmore, Peter Berner, Peter Helliar, Andrew Daddo, Jonathan Holmes, Cariba Heine, Garry McDonald and Magda Szubanski -to name a few.

SBS telemovie Saved is absent from the Drama category (despite Claudia Karvan on the Actress list). Similarly UKTV’s miniseries False Witness also misses out, although US actor Dougray Scott makes the cut for Actors for the same project. Dirt Game and The Killing Of Caroline Byrne miss out on Drama contention too.

Actress Anni Finsterer got an AFI nomination for 3 Acts of Murder, but is overlooked.

The New Talent categories continue to focus on a handful of possible contenders. None of the Hungry Beast, Jesters or Double Take team qualified. Yet even Charlie Pickering, who co-hosted 13 eps of The Mansion for the Comedy Channel in 2008, makes the list.

Sunrise and Mornings with Kerri-Anne are contenders for Light Entertainment, but Today, 9AM with David and Kim, The Morning Show, At The Movies, TV Burp, Hungry Beast, Collectors, The Einstein Factor, Media Watch and Double Take all miss out.

Shows that are no longer on air, or deemed flops, fare particularly poorly. Australia’s Perfect Couple and homeMADE aren’t on the list for Reality. Jules Lund is noted as Presenter for Getaway and Hole in the Wall (and it wasn’t even on in 2009) but not Australia’s Perfect Couple. Nine’s THIS afternoon is also absent. So is The All in Call and defunct cooking show Fresh. While 20 to 1 is listed The Spearman Experiment isn’t.

Performers in Children’s Television including The Elephant Princess, H20: Just Add Water, Hi-5, The Shak are absent. No Community Television shows made the list. Newsreaders are also out.

Nominations close March 5. You can vote online here.

  1. Apart from nine msn having an appalling web site in design and functionality with pages overlapping and text missing, the voting system is terrible, with all this technology honestly they should be leading the pack not trailing in a lame representation of online solutions and voting i just don’t get it.

    secondly, i would like to mention where is the peoples choice for voting as well, i was under the assumption that the option for people to vote “Peoples Choice” would have been there for the general members of the public to vote on who ever they wanted to for a Logie. basically i think that this years awards will be half of what it should based on the fact that the apparent lack of technology in fair voting will lead to fake results and an unfair win to whom ever wins.

    if i want to vote peoples choice winner i should be allowed to enter the name of the actor i want to choose and it should be accepted as a vote. simple.

    I called ACP to find out more but had no luck when writing this.

    Who would i vote for? Cornelia Frances, why because she has been on more television shows than almost all other australian actors, and just because she is a successful bitch dosent mean she shouldnt get rewarded for her years in television. perhaps they should even have a black logie for televisions most hated character.

    Thanks for reading

  3. I say vote for Matt Preston for every category he’s nominated in. Sarah seemed like a nice girl but she didn’t have Matt’s presence in the show. Matt was always the one the camera turned to for the final verdict.

  4. If you guys knew anything about TV you’d know the noms process starts with the networks nominating who/what they want to be considered. Many of these mentioned as “already missing out” wouldn’t have been put forward. I know this as fact for one network at least.

    1. I have spoken to networks who would like the opportunity to put forward more of their talent. Equally, I am sure viewers would like to show some love for those that are not listed, but the lack of an “Other” vote now denies this, whereas in years gone by it was an open entry form. It all gets back to a computerised voting system, instead of the money involved in having people scrutinise votes, but the result is talent and shows miss out.

  6. I don’t get how Gary Lyon gets nominated for best presenter but James Brayshaw doesn’t. Im sure they both do the same amount of hosting. How come Matt preston got nominated for best new talent but george and gary didn’t.

  10. @Guy: That would be a fair point if the voting options were geared in Nine’s favour, and they are not. Even Nine Network names are missing from the list of eligible nominations.

    And David, just curious, what was Garry McDonald in last year?
