    Great to see the Most Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress Awards back at the Logies. They are long overdue.

    I think its good to have the News Panel & Current Affairs Program Award too. It deserves a place at the Logies.

    What should NOT be a category is for Reality(?) shows. Reality shows are a cancer that needs immediate excision and should NOT be encouraged with any kind of award.

    The only category I’m interested is the hall of fame

  1. Netflix category?

    1. Netflix original content would have been eligible to be voted/nominated in existing categories. This year has some nominations from the Stan streaming service.
