There he goes again :joy:

The Logies would be so much better if they let me select the winners.

Na fuck that. They’re nominated. That’s the disrespectful part. They should be there. I get shit happens but there’s been a few not there. The date was announced months ago.

They did the same thing on the Academy Awards earlier this year.

Exactly! Even that on FaceTime or zoom wouldn’t be hard now. Everyone knows how to use it.

I just thought a video message is easier.

I think some of the older winners may not be there due to the risk of COVID which is totally acceptable, just send a video.

Patti’s tribute to Bert, Bruce into the Hall of Fame and In Memoriam :+1::+1::+1:

Voiceover guy (Tony Martin, I think?) :-1::-1::-1:

But overall this has been relatively entertaining. Not as cringey and lame as I recall in previous years.

Is that the one where parts were filmed in and around Brisbane?

“In the old days” the winners would be known in all categories in advance. However, now in the popular categories, the winner wouldn’t be know until tonight so actors in that a category would potentially have to do a fake acceptance video or all be standing by live. No excuse for the outstanding categories though.

I believed it was more likely HSV Melbourne.

I think the sad fact is the Logies just aren’t the Oscars or the Emmys. Plus a lot of the nominees are off overseas working on other projects. Having said that though I don’t know why they don’t get everyone that is nominated to create a video message if there not there.

Where are the voiceovers coming from? Is Tony on the GC or in Melb

Good to see Ten win a journalism award for their total commitment towards providing hard-hitting, extensive news coverage across the country.

Overseas and even the AACTA awards do pre recorded acceptance… it’s better to be grateful than be a no show.

There’s no real excuse in any category.

Where is Dave Hughes?

Parts were definitely filmed in Strathpine on Brisbane’s Northside.

This is going far too long :sleeping:

Exactly. They should have had all the Most Outstanding actors/actresses record a speech.

I agree but the problem is there really hasn’t been any fluff. They’re plowing through the awards at a steady pace. I’m not sure what else they can do to cut it down.

Yes plus The Gold Coast.

Plus Coorparoo, Wynnum, Redlands.
