> [@Travis](#): > > Since I suggested bringing back the Media Spy Awards, I thought we could have a discussion on what categories could be included in 2018. Here’s my suggestions: I like those suggestions, especially “Over Exposed TV Personality” and additional forum ones like Best/Worst Prediction and Biggest Surprise/Disappointment. I’d probably still keep in Best/Worst Journalist and maybe “Rising Star” in the TV news categories but aside from that, good job reducing my rather long list! 🙂 > [@Ideas, Issues, Suggestions](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/ideas-issues-suggestions/22/1479): > > holy FRICK I thought the awards were about the members and stuff The old awards had spots for us to vote for the best/worst in the media, so I personally think the revived version should too. The Logies, AACTAs, ACRAs, Walkleys and a bunch of other media industry awards give out prizes related to the media highlights of the year, so Media Spy should too…even if media organisations & personalities are highly unlikely to add “Media Spy Awards Winner” to their CVs! 😜 > [@Ideas, Issues, Suggestions](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/ideas-issues-suggestions/22/1479): > > I think a new one should be > > > mocker of the year > > The LukeMovieMan Movie Man Legacy Award > > best new talent (in the media) > > forum clown Those are good suggestions too, even if @SydneyOnAirTV has probably already won “Mocker of the Year” by default! 🙂 ---

A good list there @Travis. I think we’d be keen to cut that back somewhat, and avoid too much crossover with the categories in the TV Tonight awards ---
