TV Week will also announce the winners of the three jury-voted Talent awards:
Most Outstanding Newcomer — Actor.

It will be interesting to see if Waleed Aly joins Carrie Bickmore in the Gold Logie stakes and whether Marta Dusseldorp can land a Gold nomination (she is only eligible for A Place to Call Home as Jack Irish & Janet King did not air in 2015). I am also expecting nods for 800 Words, Gogglebox, MasterChef, Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door.

TVT Awards named both Carrie & Waleed in January as fave female / male and both are in the running for Gold. Drama, Comedy, Light Entertainment & Reality titles also scored heavily. It was 3 from 3 for my new talent predictions.
I’m hoping that Waleed is up for the Gold, he has been doing some excellent work this year
with Hamish and Andy not being eligible for the Gold this year (as they weren’t on air last year), it could be that two more stars can finally get nominated. Like Marta and possibly Julia Morris, who had a big year last year.
Any inside running, David on Hall Of Fame? Or will they keep that a secret until the night or that week?
Update: To be revealed on Logie night.
David im hoping Lisa Wilkinson gets a nomination but I’m not holding my breath on the nomination. Plus David have you hear anything about who will be the musical performers.
Prediction: Joel Madden Breakthrough Star of Tomorrow 2017 – Shane Warne
I cant wait! I hope Marta does get a nod she is a great talent she deserves one for sure.
Thanks David for setting the scene. Could be an interesting late afternoon of reactions!
