Comedy:

Really no nominations for Ronny Chieng this year (I know he only did his ABC pilot but he is a star in the USA now!), Nazeem Hussain (doing a great job with the sexy as fuck Michael Hing on drive right now), Rhys Nicholson, speaking of Triple J drive Michael Hing (so cute) and finally Tommy Little, not cute hot as fuck!

So therefore I am not a huge Tom Ballard fan (despite loving JJJ) and the others bore me.

Best Australian Contemporary Concert:

Predicted Winner - Flight Facilities with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra


Best International Contemporary Concert:

Predicted Winner - Gotta be Prince really doesn't it? The Piano and the Microphone tour.

Predicted Winner - Gotta be Laneway festival right? Every year they are at the forefront of the best new and upcoming artists.


I barely saw any plays, have no interest in Opera or cabaret so that is it for me, a year when clearly Matilda is going to smash it and I am saying it now over a year out Aladdin will clear the floor with nominations and awards next year.

Poor old Georgy Girl, not one nomination, how embarrassing! Clearly new Australian work isn't that important.

And if the supporting actor (female) does not go to Wendy Mae Brown, the whole thing is a complete disaster in my books. That woman saved what was technically a great show but the rest? WTF.

Interesting to see box office flop Fiddler on the Roof also get a couple of nods whilst We Will Rock You also not doing crash hot at the box office was completely overlooked to.
