1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: This is jem Nay she We Jones.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: The TV week Logie Awards are going to be on

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: at the end of June, and all the nominees were

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: anounced yesterday. I'd had a bit of a heads up

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: that I wasn't on the list, so I knew that

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: and with that came an interesting.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Sort of.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: Spread of emotions. So for the Gold LOGI this year,

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: we've got Hamish Blake. For Lego, We've got Julia Morris,

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm a celebrity, Carl Stefanovic for today's show, Melissa Leong

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: from Master shep Ray Mah, Home and Away, Sonya Krueger,

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Big Brother, Holy Moly, Dancing with the Stars, The Voice

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: Australia is straddling a lot of things, and Tom Gleeson's

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: having another crack Hard Quiz and the ABC. So the

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: last two logis, it hasn't been on for a number

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: of years. The last two logis I was up for

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: the Gold and it's hard yaka having to spook yourself.

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: It is such an accolade, I soap crowd to be nominated. Really,

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: I took that very seriously and to sniff the rarefied

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: air of the same pool of nominees that has produced

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: Graham Kennedy has produced Ray Martin has produced Carrie Bigmore

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: where she kicked off her beanies for brain cancer charity.

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: It's been an important part of Australian television history and

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: to be nominated meant the world to me. But last

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: year was just really hard and you have to be

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: a robust person. I don't think it'll be like that

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: again because I've made my piece with Tom. We've had

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: many conversations all as well. He had a comedy routine

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: around it that the trope was this is meaningless, but

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to rule the system and kind of sledged

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: along the way and so normally you just run your

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: own race. But I wasn't capable of running my own

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: race because that narrative was picked up by the press

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: and it became Tom versus me. That's how it felt

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: to me. And I didn't have to win. The year

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: before I didn't win, Grant Danil won and I was

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: thrilled because I follow that glorious steinem She wrote this

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: about feminism, but the idea that you're linked, not ranked,

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: just to be there and to be linked with those

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: other nominees. What an Accolade.

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: That's a big deal.

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: But last year it felt like we were ranked it

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: and it was hard, and it's a hard gig when

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: and it's a wonderful thing. As I said, people say,

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: we like you, let's nominate you. But then you have

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: to spend the next month sprooking yourself, and by my

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: nature I undersell myself rather than oversell myself. So telling

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: people why they should vote for you is really hard.

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: But that's what the gig is really because you have

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: to sprook from yesterday, announce when these people were listed

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: as the nominees, right up until the end of the

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: Red carpet. It's seven point thirty on Logi's night, and

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: so you do the red carpet, everyone say why should

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: you vote? Why should we vote for you? Why should

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: we vote for you? It's hard and some people enjoy

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: that more than other. Some people can see the showbizin

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: the fun of that. I found that really hard.

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: And Tom, when you look in heins he managed to

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: do it in a because Australians we don't like showoffs,

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: so Tom actually went anti show off, do you know

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: what I mean? So he used that as a strategy,

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: saying I don't really want it, and perhaps he did

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: want it. You know, really you look at Tom Glease

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: and he's been on TV for a long time. He said,

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: many goes at many TV shows. And also he's not

66
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 3: like your good looking Craig McLaughlin type guy that used

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: to win logis back.

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: In the old days.

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: He's a guy that looks like a normal, sort of

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: average Aussie and he won it. And I think that's

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: what he was trying to get across. But at the

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: same time, he wasn't showing off, do you know what

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean? Not really what he mean that makes perfect

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: sense to me, well what I think as a viewer.

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think what he was doing was saying

76
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: because he I know, he hurt Grant's feelings by the

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: year before, saying I've won it for Grant this year,

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: how I'm going to escalate the joke and win it

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: for me? But he said the logis are a joke.

80
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to kind of literally said that, I think

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: the logis are a joke. I'm going to rut the

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: system and win it. So what does he do this year?

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

84
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Well, that'd be interesting because now he's got to go

85
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: into show off town.

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now he has to say because he is deserving

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: of it. He has a great show, it rates very well,

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: is a very popular personality. But the trope around it

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: was I don't particularly want this, and sucker, I've still

90
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: won it. So what happens this year?

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: Maybe he should get me to head his campaign, because

92
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: it certainly didn't work for you.

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: No, but you know, I'm thrilled for everyone who's nominated,

94
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: and I'm going to go and cheer on everyone because

95
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: I felt so cheered on that night. All my colleagues

96
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: were there and I felt the love, and I'm going

97
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: to do that this year for all of them, you know, And.

98
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: That is this is the sort of person you are,

99
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: because I don't know how if the roles were reversed,

100
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how.

101
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: I'd gone him with a grenade.

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

103
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: I'm very competitive, as you know to you like your

104
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: hand on heart.

105
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: You're a good person and you like to see other

106
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: people do well.

107
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it's very big of you to even

108
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: talk about this, like there'd be a lot of people

109
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: that would say, there, well, I wasn't nominated.

110
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about it. It's dead to me.

111
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: But you this is the sort of person you are,

112
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: this is a good thing.

113
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: And the living room's nominated you TLRs in there. Oh,

114
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: let's campaign.

115
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Okay, get my stuff, get some paper and some pens.

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: Jones is going into campaign mode.

117
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: Boom, it's happening. It's over. That's one. If Tom wants me,
