Confidential hates to be negative, especially when addressing the time of the year that recognises the people who keep us so entertained, but this year’s Gold Logie nominees have left us feeling underwhelmed.
The 61st TV Week Logie Awards nominees were announced on Sunday, hosted by Sarah Harrisand Richard Wilkins at The Star, Gold Coast, where the awards night will be held for the second year.
But a gardener, a weatherman, a comedian who was blamed for rigging the top-gong last year, an already-winner and two losers from last year don’t exactly incite excitement. Oh, and a Neighbours actor.

Costa Georgiadis (Gardening Australia, ABC), Sam Mac (Sunrise, Channel 7), Tom Gleeson (Hard Quiz, The Weekly, ABC), Amanda Keller (The Living Room, Dancing With The Stars, Channel 10), Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor, Channel 9), Waleed Aly (The Project, Channel 10) and Eve Morey (Neighbours, 10 Peach) are this year’s nominees for the formerly prestigious Gold Logie for the most popular personality on television
Even Confidential had to resort to a Google search for a couple of names, and delving deeper:
● Corser does have a following, but his latest show Doctor Doctor averaged little more than half a million metro views per episode in its third season (and this is his third go at the gold).
● Morey’s reason for nomination isn’t even on a main channel anymore.
● Mac is a weatherman.
●Gleeson’s Hard Quiz has been discontinued and last year he successfully campaigned for Grant Denyer to win the gold, saying: “Because the Logies are an absolute joke, how good would it be if you won the gold for a show that wasn’t on air?”
The nominees are supposedly picked by the votes cast by the public earlier in the year, and will be picked by the public through a voting system.
The Logies will be televised on Channel 9 on Sunday, June 30.
