When the best and brightest in Australian TV come together for a boozy night at the Crown Casino, where dresses are tight and Botoxed faces are tighter, and when the losers grit their teeth and applaud politely as the oddest looking statuette in the industry is handed over to a bronzed teenager from Home and Away.
Yes, it's the Logies!
So get your bookies on speed dial, because here come the mamamedia predictions. Who will be going home with that weird little person holding a TV? ...I mean, I think that's what it is?
FUN FACT! The late Joan Rivers once declared the Logie to be the ugliest award she'd ever seen

MOST POPULAR PRESENTER
Amanda Keller - The Living Room
Andy Lee - Hamish and Andy's Gap Year South America
Carrie Bickmore - The Project
Grant Denyer - Family Feud

MOST POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM
Family Feud
Hamish and Andy's Gap Year South America
Sunrise

MOST POPULAR REALITY PROGRAM
Big Brother
Bondi Rescue
Bondi Vet
My Kitchen Rules
The Block
mama's pick :: Bondi Rescue has won 6 times in the past, albeit in the Factual Program category, so they might take home #7...but I think it's more likely to go to My Kitchen Rules.
MOST OUTSTANDING ACTOR
Ashley Zukerman - The Code
John Noble - Devil's Playground
Luke Arnold - INXS: Never Tear Us Apart
Martin Henderson - Secrets & Lies
Richard Roxburgh - Rake

MOST OUTSTANDING ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM
Bogan Hunters
Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell
The Chaser's Media Circus
The Checkout
The Voice Australia
mama's pick :: The Chaser guys can be quite polarising, so I don't know if Media Circus or Checkout would win, although Checkout is fantastic...I'd love for Mad As Hell to win, because I think Shaun is a genius. Just please don't let it go to Bogan Hunters.
MOST OUTSTANDING COMEDY PROGRAM
Black Comedy
Legally Brown
Please Like Me
Upper Middle Bogan
Utopia
mama's pick :: Hmm...Utopia was pretty well received when it premiered, so I think they might have this one. Anything that showcases the glorious Celia Pacquola is alright with me.
