The 53rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards honoured the best programs and personalities in Australian television in 2010 and took place on 1 May 2011, at the Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex in Melbourne, Victoria, with the television broadcast beginning at 7:30 p.m. (AEST) on the Nine Network. The ceremony was hosted by Shane Bourne.[1]
Nominations
[edit]The initial online voting for the awards commenced on 7 December 2010,[2] and marked the first time in which all voting was conducted online, and not through the TV Week magazine.[2] This process enabled a greater amount of nominees on the preliminary voting list, including community television programs.[2] Nominees for the Gold Logie were drawn from the Most Popular Actor, Actress, and Presenter lists,[2] and the initial list of candidates is set,[2] meaning there is no option for those voting to include any programs or personalities that were not listed.[2] Preliminary voting ran for 12 weeks,[2] closing at 11:59 p.m. (AEDT) on 20 February 2011,[3][4] and voters were required to vote in each of the ten "Most Popular" categories.[2] As a result of online-only voting, approximately twice as many votes were cast compared to the year before.[4][5] The process for the industry-voted or "outstanding" categories also underwent an overhaul, with recipients for each category decided by three independent judges who are peers of the nominees,[4][5] meaning network representatives were now banned from judging.[4][5]
Nominations were announced on 4 April 2011 in an event held at The Green Room at Quay, The Rocks, Sydney.[6] It was the first time that nominations were publibly announced prior to their publication in TV Week.[5] Voting for the Gold Logie award resumed in the form of SMS voting following the announcement of nominees.[4] The Seven Network's Packed to the Rafters had the most nominations with 15, including for "Most Popular Drama Series".[7]
