no mention of MasterChef this year. Sad. 
channel 9 already making āVote Tracyā promo material. I wonder how Rodger and Jessica feel?
Perhaps people were voting for Pete Hellier and Lisa Wilkinson this year too and split the vote for the show.

I do hope Wentworth does well with its nominations. I only recently caught up with last yearās series but I think Kate Atkinson as Vera Bennett is very deserving for a win.

Youāre forgetting Channel Sevenās biggest personality who if nominated for the Gold Logie would probably win in a landslide (and in the process, cause a glorious amount of controversy) - the Cash Cow
One somewhat forgotten aspect of this yearās awards is that voting for all the āpopularā categories āresumesā in the week leading up to the ceremony which means if you thought the voting promotions were bad enough - itās going to be nothing compared to the (likely) āVote Tracyā and āVote Amandaā campaigns Nine and Ten will unleash in a few weeksā¦

Quite a lacklustre nominations list. Tracy Grimshaw is warm favourite to win the Gold Logie.
Foxtel will be chuffed Andrew Winter gets nominated for the big award too.
The extension of nomination period means several shows which aired in the first quarter of 2018 got nominated: Romper Stomper, Safe Harbour, Hughesy We Have a Problem etc. But there were some omissions as well: Neighbours, AFL and NRL Footy Show and The Voice.
Based on what?
So thereās no Best News Panel or Current affairs program category in the 2018 Logies?
Probably tried to vote for them in the reality category with the way Dailymail are obsessed with them.
There is a MOST OUTSTANDING NEWS COVERAGE OR PUBLIC AFFAIRS REPORT category. Also a MOST OUTSTANDING FACTUAL OR DOCUMENTARY PROGRAM.
There are no āBestā categories any more. There are no separate āMost Popularā category for news, current affairs, sport, factual or childrenās programs. Only industry awards for these genres.

Nope. They are lumped into entertainment, which is what i was complaining about the other day.
Nominees are a bit Meh. For gold Iām happy with Amanda, Andrew and Tracy. Any of them 3 to win and Iāll be happy.
The rest seems very meh. Although good to see Ray meagher nominatef for Alf in H&A
People have been complaining that the awards were too long, so the publicly voted categories were reduced. The Logies have been moving towards having more industry recognised categories and less popular voted categories.
Seven generally gives the Logies a wide berth but will still plug their nominations in the news 
Haha, good one! #GoldLogie4CashCow2019
Apologies if this one has been asked before, but would Sevenās coverage of the Winter Olympics & Commonwealth Games have been eligible for a 2018 Logies nomination or do they have to wait until next year to get either (or both) nominated?
Yeah, the previously separate Most Outstanding News Coverage & Public Affairs Report categories have been merged this year.
I know Current/Public Affairs & Sport (among others) used to have āMost Popularā categories at the Logies, but I donāt think there was ever an āMost Popularā Logie for News Coverage?
and now we have the typical diversity posts about how all the nominees are white.
Itās Australian TV, Walleed won it last 2 years. what more do you want? Its the year of the woman, havenāt you heard?
The fact that there are not a lot of diverse faces on television in general would limit the chances of many being nominated in the first place.
yours is the first comment Iāve seen about it?
