Logies 2024 - My Picks

Yesterday, The Logies nominations were announced. Here is my yearly tradition of "My Picks" in Red + BOLD, let's see how I go. 

The ABC plus streaming (particularly Netflix's Boy Swallows Universe) are the early big winners. Paramount+ were the real streaming losers with only one nomination. Stan had a mix across multiple shows whilst I thought Binge's Strife would land way more nominations. Just my personal observations.

Voting is now open for all awards this time around! The ceremony will be broadcast on Sunday, August 18.

Voting this year is a little different as they lose the Outstanding and Popular categories, grouping them together as "BEST". Meaning poorly written/acted series like Home & Away, that rate well are popular, no longer get any nominations. Sad face for Channel Seven. Not really.

Here we go, my picks below!
