No. But go on then, tell me who my favourites supposedly are.
the word according to Mr Bar
Tom, what on earth are you talking about.
I thought my original comment was quite clear âitâs become contrivedâ ⌠âpublicity eventâ. I was talking about the ceremony itself.
And if youâre going to have a lame dig at me, thereâs possibly no bigger Nine fan boy here than yourself.

You might not like the Logies (and I know many others who couldnât give a sh*t) but itâs been there for 60 years and theyâre not going to tear it apart just because you donât like how contrived it is.
itâs the Logie Awards. Theyâve been a âcontrivedâ âpublicity eventâ for 60 years?
Iâm all for the Logies despite its flaws, but I think itâs fair to keep it in perspective. At the end of the day itâs a device to promote a magazine and give some PR to the networks. Doesnât pay to take them too seriously.

Thatâs actually really bad.
This is the WORST nomination list Iâve ever seen in the history of the Logies. It is honestly rigged.
Iâm no Ch7 heart throb but they are the Number 1 Network and yet Foxtel, has more nominations.
Family Feud axed and get Grant Denyer gets a good Logie nomination. Andre Winter WTF? Terrible!
Logie nominations do not equate to good ratings and quality television.
If thatâs the best, then we are in trouble. How sad, they used to be great and have lots of credibility.
I would be honoured to not receive a Logie nomination.

Never have. Not the public-voted ones anyway. And our TV culture has changed from the days of only 4 channels and a handful of big-name stars for each network. TV is a lot more niche now. Doesnât take as many votes to get to the top of the pile. Seven still scored a number of nominations even though they barely give the awards a fleeting mention during the voting period.
And I always wonder of all these Logies critics, did any of them bother to vote when it counted? Perhaps then the nominations might turn out different.

One thing Iâm surprised hasnât been mentioned yet: Who (or what, if itâs a show) do people think TV Week will induct into the TV Week Hall of Fame this year?
I personally think itâd be great if there were more diverse faces in the nominations list (or part of the Australian TV/media industry in general), butâŚ
Also, have people forgotten how some sections of the media (of course mostly conservative-tilting media like The Daily Telegraph, who possibly didnât like the thought of someone brown/Muslim winning a Gold Logie) complained when Walleed Aly was nominated a couple of years back? Just to refresh your memory, here is @TelevisionAUâs take on that from April 2016.

I disagree with the notion of the bolded text. When the Gold Logie is not only promoted but recognised by the industry as Australian TVâs âhighest honourâ - the awards (as an entity) need to be taken seriously in that they should be praised and criticised, scrutinised and celebrated, etc
Very unAustralian spelling for your concerns about Australia. Try recognised, honour, criticised and scrutinised on for size.
The awards need to evolve. Theyâve made some steps in the right direction. They need to go further. Thatâs all.

You can choose to ignore me but you know you canât.
TEN was the only commercial network to mention nominations from other networks including some questions for Tracy.
Nineâs report was exclusively about the networkâs shows and talent. It included graphics of playing cards and surf boards and a live cross in Brisbane.
Same with Seven - not even mentioning the Gold Logie nominees in their report or having a reporter at the event - it was voiced by Kay in the studio (Gold Coast News may get something on Monday).
