  1. If Robert Irwin can get a nom for doing 5 weeks of TV, how does Sam Pang not even get a mention when he is on top rating shows on 2 networks and is the host of the most important night of TV, again??? There also seems to be minimal nominations from Foxtel. Surely some of their News, Reality, Comedy and Sport shows are equally worthy of nominations…

  2. Is there any chance you can do a “write an answer type” poll, where your readers can list their choice for the people or shows they believe should have been nominated, but have missed out for each category? I’m sure we, the viewers, could come up with a list that is better reflective of the product consumers views, not the networks beliefs…

    1. Comments are the place for reactions, and there are plenty here. But if you’re asking me to run an alternate poll that seems a little disingenuous. TV Tonight Awards are exactly what you seek, a blank field for all talent and show categories, which returns in December / January.

          1. My bad, I was away yesterday and didn’t get a chance to read it – I just have and you are on the $$$, but there were many more. Colin from Accounts, Paul Murray Live, The Front Bar, AFL 360 and Fboy Island to mention a few…

  4. With the Logies eligibility being 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024, and the latest season of I’m a Celeb starting on 24 March, Robert Irwin got voted in (by the industry) for the Gold Logie for one week’s worth of work?

    Nothing wrong with him. He was great on it, and is quite talented. But seems like a very short period for him to get him voted.

    1. Robert Irwin hosted I’m A Celebrity for 1 Month not 1 Week and he has hosted other TV Shows like Crikey It’s The Irwins on Foxtel and other shows

  5. One thing I’m surprised at: 10 not nominating Dr Chris Brown for Gold (something that could have been possible due to a quirk where Brown’s last season on I’m A Celebrity in 2023 started one day into the 2023/24 Logies eligibility period (April 2, 2023), while Robert Irwin’s first season on I’m A Celebrity in 2023 began seven days (March 24, 2024) before the end of the Logies eligibility period).

    I also wonder if Seven also attempted a Dr Chris Brown Gold Logie nomination… only to realise that the only on-air stuff Dr Chris did for 7 in the eligibility period was… the Logies red carpet last year: (i.e. it would have ended up with part of last year’s ceremony itself getting a Logies nomination) hence, we have somehow, Larry Emdur nominated by 7 for Gold instead.

    The quirks of a eligibility period indeed…

  6. Asher Keddie nominated for Gold stands out as being a bit odd. Struggling to think what she’s been in this year. Keddie aside and interchange Hamish for Andy and Gold and Popular Presenter are carbon copies of each other. Seems like Bert Newton having a laugh and making us sit through another and quite possibly the same acceptance speech.
    The Cheap Seats must feel robbed especially given that The Weekly and The Yearly are nominated. It’s essentially the same show and doesn’t really seem fair that it’s allowed to double dip like that at the expense of giving another worthy contender a go. I’m sure it’s technically OK within the rules but it’s one of those decisions where it just makes the producers look a bit greedy and selfish for putting forward the best of end of year special.
    People commenting online that Robert Irwin is too young to win Gold should remember back to1989 and Kylie Minogue winning it at pretty much the same age. Let’s hope Robert is lucky, lucky lucky lucky!

    1. It’s not so much his age thats the problem it’s his experience or lack there of that most people are taken aback by. If he was in the new talent category I think most people would have gone “fair enough”. Also you have to remember that Kylie’s first episode of neighbors was in April 86 so she was very much established by the 89 Logies.

  8. Tony Armstrong for gold and Michael Ussher for news.
    No Cheap Seats is a disgrace.
    Biggest Loser is Dr Chris Brown, not a good look when you leave a job and your successor
    gets a Gold nomination, a bit like Charlie Pickering.

  11. Couple of comments. She’s amazing, but I couldn’t tell you a single thing Asher Keddie has done this last year that would make her a Gold Logie nominee. How’s she wound up on the gold list when she’s not nominated in any of the acting categories? Also, Larry Emdur, industry icon no doubt, but it seems very suspect that his first appearance on a gold logie list comes at the same time as his afternoon game show is under siege.

  12. Well it’s nice to see Andy finally get some acknowledgement. Hamish has been nominated multiple times but he’s up against Robert Irwin so I don’t think he has much of a chance. Why would 7 put up Sonia Kruger again when she won last year? Why not Kylie Gilles? It’s a bit rude to put up Larry Emdur but not her. They are a double act. Is this the first time no one from Home & Away or Neighbours has been up for New Talent?

  14. Tony has to win. He’s had such a huge year/couple of years, for most of the others it’s just another year as usual, the same faces, doing the same thing. Also, this display of Indigenous excellence would show that the Logies/Australia is moving with the times, would be very satisfying and history making.
