Sounds great, maybe they're making up awards now just so he might win something.

I thought you meant that a MOSH member should get the award for being the most determined or the most fanatical or the best supporter of comedy. :p

There's already a US one and it's hosted by a comedian.

Did it say who votes?

Sums up my feelings about that talentless piece of crap, and the Logies in general.
The Gold Logie goes to ... Rove McManus.
WHAT THE?

I reckon being on for 5 years and not winning a logie is worth an award. I mean the logies are voted for by tv week readers aren't they? Old withered lady : "I think I'll vote for that Rove boy." Sorry if posts twice.

Munchkin brings up a good point - who does the voting for this?

Drunk Midget to even Drunker Chick - Have you ever had anyone go up on you before?


Son: Is there anything we can do to get Buffy back?
Mom: Well, we could join together in prayer.
Son: Uh huh. Is there anything useful we can do?
Mom: No.

Those eligible to vote - Performers, writers, directors, producers, managers, film distributors, entertainment lawyers, festival organisers, journalists, program directors, authors, visual artists, cartoonists, venue operators, casting agents and radio presenters.

What they are doing right now is accepting inclusions for voting that belong to the groups above. I've put in an application, but I'm doubting I'll get it as they make a huge point of those employed "professionally", ie. working and earning from the industry. We'll see.

My major bother with the awards so far is that it for to be on TV means it will have to be a very mainstream event. No-one is gonna tune in and channel 10 won't benefit unless the hosts/performers and indeed award winners are known by the public. There are some public voted awards, and you'd expect most would be choosing from names they off the radio and the tv rather than based on a real stand-up/live environment. I mean, how many ppl actually go and see live comedy shows? All public decisions would then have to be based on who and what they know. So yep, you might be looking at Rove, Dave Hughes, etc getting a guernsey.

I think I'm going to have to reassess the way I think about you now.

Maybe Paul's boots could win an award?
