Same old same old… Give other people a go!
Same with the LOGIES, all these so called award nights are so predictable AND BORING. (including the sport awards, they should look how the overseas award nights are presented, much more glamour and entertainment).
I suspect they all appear voluntarily, so it would probably be fairer to say
“Same old people who donate their time….Maybe other people should give it a go”
Possibly.
All industry awards nights are going to be predominantly of interest to the people who work in that industry. Its just the nature of awards night
