TV Week Logie Awards 2008

I'm not at all familiar with any Austrailian award shows but it's something I'd dearly love to see cause I'm sure they'd be a blast!

Pardon my ignorance, but I've only heard of McLeod's Daughters.

I'm happy for Kate Ritchie.

Congrats Kate Ritchie!!! Im a huge fan of Home and Away!!!!!!!

I read this because I was intruiged, but it's so bizarre in that i couldnt find one familiar show reference or name in the entire bunch.

Yes i know it's aussie tv, but it's so weird to read such a big article on entertainment chocked full of names and programs and not catch one single reference.

yup i agree with Sneddy2 the umbilice brothers summary of kate richies life on home&away was a cracker! oh and a big congratz to chris lilley(guy from summer heights high) and i love the show he put on at the logies....that was brilliant.....

The Umblical Brothers summary of Sally Fletcher's life on Home and Away was one of the highlights of the evening. Andrew Denton going on about how he was going to win the Gold Logie (knowing full and well that he probably wouldn't) was great as well.

It was surprising to see that the only international guests this were the music acts. I definitely agree the show needs a host and hopefully they'll bring one back next year.

To BeachfrontGlass and any one else who was confused about this article. In Australia, the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is the public network that is owned by the Federal Goverment - it is free to air and is commercial free.

Go Chris!

Well done Kate Richie for being a great actor on <i>Home and Away</i> for twenty consecutive years!;)

I have no idea what that article said... I did not recognize a single name or show. I'm assuming they were talking about another ABC.

Well we all know the Logies are a popularity contest and not a talent contest.

John Wood only won his gold logie, which was deserved, as it was the last year of the show and he had been nominated for about 11 consecutive years. Kate Richie, also celebrating her last year on her show was bound to win it, though it isn't deserved.

We have some great talent on Australian television, and all the Logies does is make it appear as if we don't, based off the winners. How Rove can still get nominations, littleown a win is beyond me. And City Homicide is a gripping drama, unlike the cringe-worthy Home And Away.

As to the Gold Logie, there were only 2 worthy nominations - Chris Lilley who is a great comedian, and John Howard, who is one of the best Australian actors on television at the moment (if not the best). But the voting public doesn't want to vote for a middle-aged overweight man, not to mention that the voters tend to watch other shows like Home And Away over the better produced All Saints.

What we need is a proper awards ceremony which is judged by a panel of experts. But then, that means that they don't receive the revenue from SMS votes, and they would never throw that away.

If you haven't already guessed, I don't look too kindly at the Logies - in fact I avoid it like the plague - I only bother to listen to who wins to confirm that it is the worst nomination from its category, which it usually is.moreless

I feel bad for chris... He deserved it...

Don't count on the Chaser boys doing anything. One; they're half way through their tour, and two, at least one of them isn't going to be there (Craig).I don't care how wins, as long as its not Kate Richie. :P

Go Adam Hills.I wonder if the Chasers are going to something stupid like stealing or boneheading.The Chasers should win their catergory so they won't steal of others(Chas!)

I CHOOSE EITHER ANDREW DENTON OR ADAM HILLS - GO BOYS GO!

go Chris and the Chaser boys!

CHRIS MUST WIN THE GOLD

This is going to be a massive year for many upcoming and established comedians and ABC actors alike

Either Chris or Denton for the gold, the others haven't really earned it. I could see Kate winning the Silver for the sympathy vote though.

Chris Lilley, Rove or Adam Hills should win. If Lisa McCune wins I will scream. She is terrible and in no way deserves to.

Chris Lilley for the Gold. He is the only one who deserves it with all of the work he did on Summer Heights High not just the acting but also the writting.

I hope Chris Lilley wins the gold!
