Logie Awards 2018: and which presenters are out of the race?
Even more household names have been overlooked on Logie's voting list.

It’s not just actors & actresses who have been overlooked for public voting in the 2018 Logie Awards.
Household name Presenters have also missed out on a shot at glory this year. Not being listed for Silver Logie contention means they are automatically excluded for Gold Logie consideration.
As with actors, TV networks are allocated limited numbers of Presenter suggestions, forcing them to choose between their babies. Some of the results are quite baffling.
Amanda Keller is listed for The Living Room but not Chris Brown, Miguel Maestre or Barry DuBois.
The ever-popular Anh Do is not listed for his much-loved Anh’s Brush with Fame but ABC has submitted Julia Zemiro and Annabel Crabb for their shows. News Breakfast‘s Virginia Trioli is there, but not Michael Rowland.
All of The Voice coaches are there -except for Seal who as it happens is not returning (this reiterates the marketing value of the voting process, rather than actually critiquing the work).
All of the Studio 10 cast were snubbed including Sarah Harris who was a Silver Logie nominee last year (she is also out for Shark Tank).
Even former Gold nominee Lee Lin Chin isn’t there.
None of the The Real Housewives Of Melbourne or Sydney are individually listed, along with the full Gogglebox cast (both TEN and Foxtel have frequently downplayed their supposed celebrity status).
One of the year’s biggest hits, Bachelorette Sophie Monk, is not listed -but there could be a ruling about Reality contestants which is what the role entailed.
Updated: TV Week advises, “It is up to the networks to submit the talent they feel is most deserving of an award. Â Each network works to a set number of entries per category and every year we have programs or talent that do not make the final shortlist.”

Usually is someone has been in multiple shows they were listed for both. If someone likes Chris Brown in I’m a celebrity they can still nominate him since he’s in the Living Room category. The whole thing is a big mess.
I noticed that Nick Cody was being left out of the Presenter Category. He has made a few appearances in HYBPA last year.
The only one from that list that upsets me is Lee Lin Chin. How dare they leave her out. We will all pay.
this seems quite shit to be honest, then again the Logies are complete toilet water. out dated and sexist. This has any easy fix, do all the voting online and when it comes to the personality nominations have a drop down menu, if your favourite presenter is from studio 10 you scroll down the drop down menu and look for studio 10 and then select the presenter of choice. it’s not bloody hard.
As for the gold Logie allow people to vote for anyone, if there is someone who doesn’t meet the requirements then ditch the vote.
It is actually all done online, and there is a menu of sorts. But networks are limited in how many they can offer.
Do it by show and include anyone who is there as a permanent presenter or someone who has filled in for a length of time like Natarsha Belling on Studio 10, no one should be excluded
Julia Morris is eligible. Australian Spartan and Show Me the Money are this year (2018). Isn’t voting meant to be for last year (2017)? I thought Behave Yourself got axed. Yummy Mummies has been overlooked too.
Sorry there is a lot wrong with your statement. Voting is for 2017 – March 31. Being axed is irrelevant. Julia Morris was eligible for voting on Celebrity, but has not been listed. You can only vote for her acting in House Husbands (which has also been axed).
Thanks for clearing it up for me David. I I learn things by being wrong. In the past which axed program has won the most awards?
None of this is a surprise when the overarching egregious element – July for the Logies on the Gold Coast! I love the Gold Coast, but it will be like staging the Oscars in Miami. They’ve seriously jumped the shark. All of 2017 and a bit of 2018. What a mish mash and now omitting some actors, some presenters. Logies have always been derided for something, but this is a whole new level of scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Show Me the Movies hasn’t started yet, wouldn’t that be why they’re not nominated?
Re: Celeb, if I was going to pick one it’d be Julia all the way, she brings the sparkle – as the straight man, Chris is great, but I feel she is the more prominent one.
Not surprising Sophie Monk was left out of the Presenter category. She was a contestant not a presenter.
