I just wonder how many people here on this forum actully work in tv/know anything about tv? Some of you make some great points, but most of you are way off. For example “how budget were those lasers in Robbie’s performance” – I somehow dont think they would have skimped on Robbie’s performance…does that make sense to anyone? Lasers cost thousands of dollars!!!!!!

@ vid – sorry mate, the other guys are right. When a network outsources a live, high profile event like this they appoint their own EP to supervise the project. Nine would have signed off on the structure of the show, the set, the presenters, the performers, and key crew such as the director. To say Nine had no control over the production is simply incorrect. A network just doesn’t spend in excess of million dollars on a massive television event they have no control of. But I’m glad you for one enjoyed it.

I hope TEN pick this up again next year. Please, TEN, do it for me, and everyone else who hated the telecast (ie: 99.99% of people).

It may have been expensive for TEN and not rate that well, but if you guys had it in a timeslot on say Monday or Tuesday or have it from 7 or 8 instead of 6:30 I reckon it’d rate much better.

@ craig… oh grow up! they cant be blamed for the quality of the pictures or sound. they outsourced it… the production company are to blamed…. nine just aired it along with some of their on air talent.. and no.. iam not bias…just stating facts… i would of said the same if 7 or 10 aired it.
for all we know if was produced in SD. we all know either 7,9 or 10 would of done it in HD!!….. Nine just took the feed from the venue… end of story!
so stop embarassing yourself by cheap comments towards others!

Hall of Fame was staged earlier this year and broadcast on a weekend, but it was traditionally referenced in the big night yes…

Looks like everyone has taken the words right out of my mouth.What a crock of a show.I didn’t think they could do a worse show than the pitiful Logies but it had the same cringe effect to it.Channel 10 always did a great job and really made it an event to be proud of, typical of Nine.Where were the Hall of famers performing?
I wont even waste my time next year!
Jess Mauboy looked like she didn’t know what she was doing!!

Gyton Grantley and Kate Ritchie were painful, absolutely terrible hosts. Shameless cross promoting of other Nine shows. The set looked like it had a total budget of 0.99c. Channel Nine are hopeless at this sort of thing, they struggle with anything pitched towards a younger audience. Its tanking in last night’s ratings was thoroughly deserved.

Missed it, but like others have said – doesn’t look like I actually missed much. Where’s the Rock, where’s the performers behaving badly, where is that Wow factor.
All the ‘celebrities’ look like they’re heading to, dare say it, the Logies of all places!

I didn’t see it, but it sounds more interesting than last year when that one-hit-wonder managed to win 6.

makes me glad I missed it, based on most of the more recent comments. Although slagging off people for their own musical tastes is a bit redundant. this is a place to air your views. So it is somones opinion, and we are all entitlted to ours

So embarrassing. If I see Gyton Grantley flogging one more thing I’ll scream. It was like Carl Williams on prozac hosting.

Slydoggie, that’s completely true! And I bet if people looked hard enough they’d realise that the album sales for a lot of the ‘obscure nobodies’ are more than respectable – The Temper Trap have recently found huge success in the UK even.
