Logie Awards 2009 Wager

[nshady]

I thought it might be fun to have a little competition to guess the Logie winners this year. Honestly, I don't give a crap about the awards. In such a small industry as ours, it's meaningless. But it's fun to guess who the winners will be. Here's the full list. I'll bold my picks as I make them, but you can just copy it all and then delete the ones you're not picking so we don't have a really long thread. Bear in mind that the 'popular' awards are voted by the public, while the 'outstanding' awards are voted by the industry.

[Batman]

Wow.

We have a lot of awful, awful television here.

[moodycj]

Wow.

We have a lot of awful, awful television here.

I agree.

I only really watch before the game from that entire list.

[G-Train]

GNW / Paul Mcdermit didn't make any category. Shows how much of a farce these awards are.

I think Rove "No Talent" Mcmannus will make off with the gold.....again.

Natalie "alphabetlastname" will win a few too me thinks.

But I don't really know, I only watch House, Scrubs, GNW and the news.

[nshady]

Rove hasn't won a Gold Logie since 2005.

[Master Chief]

I watch none of those shows regularly.

[Predator]

Same - I don't even know 3/4 of who those people are.

[Dr Julz]

I like to watch Border Security because my dad's a customs officer. Other than that I just watch So You Think You Can Dance from that list.

[nshady]

So none of you are going to take a stab at it anyway?

[Dr Julz]

I don't know half the shows or the people to make an educated guess.

[nshady]

You think I'm making an educated guess?

[moodycj]

Put me down for all a's.

[thug]

Nat Bas for gold..........

Anything from underbelly should clean up...

Lauren clair for best new talent.....

[Predator]

oh nooes.. the Internet and video games has broken our ability to care about TV   

Are the ones you have picked the ones you would like to win, or the ones that you just think will win?

[nshady]

The only ones I want to win are The Hollowmen and Kat Stewart, because she was hilarious in Newstopia WHICH DID NOT GET A NOMINATION. Mr Firth Goes To Washington was crap. I did like Review with Myles Barlow, but I liked Hollowmen more.

[Predator]

Yeah I was impressed by Kat Stewart actually, after seeing her on Underbelly as  the psycho bogan.. was such a different role on newstopia... hope she does more stuff.

[G-Train]

I'll be happy as long as rove doesn't win.

I mean, I feel for the guy losin his wife, for that I give sincere condolences - but I just can't stand him on his show, if he fired Pete Helleir, I'd like him a bit more....

I like Pete Hellier, he started up before the game.

[Master Chief]

I can stand Peter hellier as much as George's gym teacher in Seinfeld can stand George.

I lolled at him when I saw him at a shopping center one time. He was dressed at strawnie: lord of the douches.

[G-Train]

He reminds me of K-Fed, not due to appearence obviously, just due to the unjustified sense of self accomplishment he seems to wonder about with.

[moodycj]

He reminds me of K-Fed, not due to appearence obviously, just due to the unjustified sense of self accomplishment he seems to wonder about with.

Really K-Fed? and I think you are confusing a relaxed attitude with whatever you think he has.

[admeister]

Kat Stewart, because she was hilarious in Newstopia WHICH DID NOT GET A NOMINATION.

This! Newstopia was the best Australian TV show of 2008 imo.

I'm also in the group of people who doesn't watch any of the listed shows, I only watch the news really.

I used to watch the news religiously, but has anyone noticed it repeats itself quite a bit? I mean, atm its "oh noes, theres an evil virus lose and we're all 100% it's going to kill everyone".....just like SARS, Bird Flu, that other one I can't name.

And after all the BS about the world econemy was leading us into the "worst depression in history", I'm really just tired of all the fear-mongering.

[admeister]

Very true, I mostly just watch when Dad's sitting down in front of it. It's always amusing to see what they're going on about each week.

[Dr Julz]

Why does Rove keep winning? >.<

[Master Chief]

Everyone is wondering why the logies sucked so much.. Gretel Coleen + bad stunts + Bert Newtons son = fail event. Underbelly = fail, Packed to the Rafters = fail for people who aren't mothers, all other shows are way passed their use-by date.

The whole thing was fail, send it up to the Gold Coast, Melbourne doesn't want it anymore.

[Batman]

Nobody wants it.

Australian television really needs to just start over fresh. Get rid of all the "actors" and shows and all that.

[nshady]

Wow. I got 10 out of 23 correct, which is not bad, all things considered.

[Master Chief]

You should become an SMS!

[Dr Julz]

Yeah, Australian TV does suck. Apparently the newspapers had a go at Gretel for being so bad. I didn't watch any parts with her in it (mind you I only tuned in for about 10 minutes) but I can imagine my face would have been permanently cringed if I did.
