  1. Does Karl realise he will have to stay sober until the very end of the night because the gold is the last logie to be presented.

    Just heard Denise Scott on radio. She said her aim is to be nominated for best new talent at next years logies. That would be funny.

  2. @Mate – I think Margot could be in with a chance, if the three PTTR actresses split the votes. Asher Keddie probably has a better chance, though, since she also scored enough votes to earn a Gold nomination. Still, it’s absolutely brilliant to see her up there! I’m also really pleased to see Chrissie Swan nominated (she playfully told her audience off this morning on The Circle for causing such a fuss in the media by voting for her). The Circle is hilarious TV and she does a great job, so she deserves her success. The rules surrounding her nomination are a bit dodgy, but obviously the decision was made back in January that she should be eligible for Gold, so no one can take away from the fact that an awful lot of people actually took the time to vote for her. I voted for her in one category, but not for Gold.

  3. Hahaha everyone saying there is no way Swan should be nominated, I am not surprised at all. Every single new mother I know loves her and are obsessed with that show. She is very popular and the show itself has a much wider fan base outside its actual viewership each day. All my friends watch it if they have the day off or are sick. That may mean they never win the ratings but they are far more liked generally. Now Stefanovic? That is obviously a product of their constant campaigning for him. Kochie and Mel have a much larger fervent fan base but have never advertised for themselves the way the Today show has. They may also be hated by more but it still wouldn’t change that they are liked by more!

  4. Wow…people take these ‘awards’ far too seriously…if you enjoy watching a particular show or personality, why do you care if it wins an award?

  5. the circle in 3 categories? i mean i like the show but it never even features in the daily ratings. they should at least have an award based on ratings figures like ARIAS do with record sales.

  6. Excuse me but I’m just wondering how Karl Stefanovic winded up becoming nominated for a gold logie? Did he do a guest spot in Packed To The Rafters or something?

    Thankyou.

  7. ‘Shakes head’, can’t believe that ‘Offspring’ didn’t get a nod for ‘Outstanding Drama’. Personally i believe Ryan Corr has helped keep ‘Rafters’ fresh and deserves his nom, but new talent? Yes i know how the rules work but really.
    ‘MKR’ missing out on a nom for Most Popular Reality Program is a shock. I was sure it would have been there. And Gooooo Chrissie!!!

  8. The popular voted prizes have always been wild cards, but reveal more about the voting population than the industry diversity. I have had to endure decades of soapie starlets and wooden actors receive silver and gold nods. It is actually refreshing to see some new names win people’s affection and votes. Peer voted prizes still feel a little limited to me. For years I have pleaded for supporting categories to be reintroduced. I believe the panels choosing the ‘outstanding’ prizes were lessened this year, not expanded. For me that explains some of the inclusions – but to have 6 dramas nominated outstanding, and to have actors of the caliber of Asher Keddie,Justine Clarke, Kat Stewart, Richard Roxburgh is great.

  9. People have voted for these nominees,and we all like and dislike different shows and people.Guys we all know its not in the same leaugue as the Oscars,but it Australias TV awards night.I love The Circle and Chrissie and yes it doesnt rate as well as Mprning Show.But the viewers it has got have voted.Same with Karl,l dislike the fool but a lot of people have voted for him.So we accept the nominees and move on.No one forces anyone to watch on the night and if people think this years nominees are wrong it might show in the shows rating.

  10. I’ll say it again: It’s ridiculous theire is no comedy category at the Logies anymore.

    I think the Rafters people have a good shot at the popular awards but would like to see it shared around for the ‘outstanding’ categories. I really liked performances in Underbelly.

  11. Apart from Shaun not getting a Gold Nom, I’m glad to see a healthy mix of real personalities from a range of different formats, and not the usual schleb of “oh that person’s old, let’s give it to them” and “Let’s rename it the Golden Lisa”.

  12. @ Tay I also don’t know who Asher Keddie and Chrissie Swan are, it’s quite obvious the Logies have been hijacked by juveniles. I can’t see many older folk voting with the introduction of this new system.

    Also agree where’s Sea Patrol, it’s consistently got double the ratings of any of Ten’s juvenile dramas yet it is nowhere to be seen. I think with the youth of today with their phones and the general loss of interest of voting by older viewers has turned this once proud event into a joke.

  13. @Nicky I agree, Rafters isn’t the best show of television… But it’s easy to watch. I think the family stuff is sometime quite dorky and lame… I think it’s missing a lot of heart and realness to it. It’s a TV family, not a real Australian family (which is something a lot of people claim it is)

  14. Karl Stefanovic???? Who the hell voted for him!! Goes to show that you don’t have to have a personality to get a nomination as most popular personality. His head is already too big for his body, now it will get even bigger.

    The rest of the nominations are ok though, just a shame that Karl’s has made a joke of the whole thing.

  15. I don’t know what the big deal is with this show Packed to the Rafters it’s rubbish.Rebecca Gibney she is not even Australian she a stupid Kiwi I can’t stand her.
    I can’t believe Shaun didn’t get nominated something crook here.
