Apart from nine msn having an appalling web site in design and functionality with pages overlapping and text missing, the voting system is terrible, with all this technology honestly they should be leading the pack not trailing in a lame representation of online solutions and voting i just don’t get it.

secondly, i would like to mention where is the peoples choice for voting as well, i was under the assumption that the option for people to vote “Peoples Choice” would have been there for the general members of the public to vote on who ever they wanted to for a Logie. basically i think that this years awards will be half of what it should based on the fact that the apparent lack of technology in fair voting will lead to fake results and an unfair win to whom ever wins.

if i want to vote peoples choice winner i should be allowed to enter the name of the actor i want to choose and it should be accepted as a vote. simple.

I called ACP to find out more but had no luck when writing this.

Who would i vote for? Cornelia Frances, why because she has been on more television shows than almost all other australian actors, and just because she is a successful bitch dosent mean she shouldnt get rewarded for her years in television. perhaps they should even have a black logie for televisions most hated character.

Thanks for reading

This list is terrible. I only contended to vote to support my beloved Shaun Micallef. Don’t give a damn about any other catergory.

I say vote for Matt Preston for every category he’s nominated in. Sarah seemed like a nice girl but she didn’t have Matt’s presence in the show. Matt was always the one the camera turned to for the final verdict.

I have spoken to networks who would like the opportunity to put forward more of their talent. Equally, I am sure viewers would like to show some love for those that are not listed, but the lack of an “Other” vote now denies this, whereas in years gone by it was an open entry form. It all gets back to a computerised voting system, instead of the money involved in having people scrutinise votes, but the result is talent and shows miss out.

If you guys knew anything about TV you’d know the noms process starts with the networks nominating who/what they want to be considered. Many of these mentioned as “already missing out” wouldn’t have been put forward. I know this as fact for one network at least.

I don’t get how Gary Lyon gets nominated for best presenter but James Brayshaw doesn’t. Im sure they both do the same amount of hosting. How come Matt preston got nominated for best new talent but george and gary didn’t.

What a joke, not hard to see why the Logies doesn’t get any respect.

@Guy: That would be a fair point if the voting options were geared in Nine’s favour, and they are not. Even Nine Network names are missing from the list of eligible nominations.

And David, just curious, what was Garry McDonald in last year?

It’s a travesty that Don Hany didn’t pick up the Best Lead Actor award at the AFIs last year. Get to the 2010 Logies voting form to get him, Susie Porter and East West 101 some recognition at the Logies!

I really hope Judith McGrath picks up an award this year or at least gets a nomination. She is a talented actress and after the axing of All Saints, I assume that it would be one of her last chances at finally winning an award?
As far as I can recall, I believe she has only ever received one logie nomation for All Saints? Can anyone confirm this?

Dear TV Week,

Your online voting form is a bit of a nightmare. Please consider displaying all the nominee details on the one screen rather than forcing us to go back and forth with the list. How about photographs or even a progress bar on top so we know how many more steps or categories there are left before we completely give up.

Well you all have to remember that this is run by people who own the Nine Network, well have a strong association with the network. So its not surprising that there are these omissions. I think the lists are a joke. Some of them shouldnt even be on the new talent list. I mean Carrie Bickmore for New Talent? That is so wrong its not funny. The lists are wrong and they should have every single possible nominee available. This is just the work of the people who work for a Nine related Magazine called the TV Week. These awards are now becoming the biggest joke.
