Foxtel is making a big deal about shows getting nominated and the whole viewer thing. But its all fake. Foxtel picks the nominees ensures that they are all from Foxtel channels and are shows and celebrities they want to promote.
They put Wentworth up against an obscure news show, Abalone Wars and other lifestyle junk. The Crazy Ones is up against Top Gear and bunch of lifestyle repeats like Grand Designs UK.
As for the celebrities I don’t know a single one of them yet you have donkey vote for them to vote for the drama category.
And interestingly you have to accept a couple of pages of terms and conditions which include accepting the prize. What sort of prize you have to trick people into entering an agreement to force them to accept it?
For some years I have noted that the Favourites should be short listed by audience not jury. But it’s not correct to say they are all from Foxtel owned channels. Will be interesting to see where results go btw Emmy winner Top of the Lake and the ongoing interests of Wentworth too.
