TV Now Awards 2009

Elmo

As you guest these are the hottest Awards around (hotter then the hottest IFTAs ever bar no other IFTAs of IFTAhood).

But what is more important is that we, WE, get to vote. You and me, everyone.

This is copied from the AutoCue of those people who present TV3's Daytime.

Anyway these are the nominations. I have highlight the ones I think you should vote for just to mess with TV3's head

Anyway congradulations to everyone in TV3 who seemed to get a nomination. The fact they are promoting a TV3 production of Lawless Ireland rather then one of their own Idenpendent Productions is disappointing.

She doesn't have to be, It is Irelands sexiest star, not Irelands sexiest irish star.

I know the choice wasn't great. But Ireland AM as the best tv programme?? It doesn't make much sense to me. Few people watch it, and the quality of the sections and interviews on it aren't great. But then again, I suppose I'd say the same for Tubridy and the Late Late.

I suppose it's that more people watch all the others than watch Ireland AM that I think those shows are better. When was the last time that Ireland AM made the news (apart from that time, those people had a row on it, or the lady nearly died who hosted it).

TV3 had adverts telling people to vote for them :rolleyes:

So she lives and works in Ireland?

Lorraine Keane. What an untalented painful yoke to watch and listen to. Her "jokes" were tasteless and not funny, her delivery and presentation is like something you'd see in a 6 year old's speech and drama competition (I must emhasISE every few SYLlables in ORDer to sound like I KNOW what I'm TALKing abOUT.). Her sense of "style" is straight from the pages of Sunday Independent Life magazine (money does not equal class), and how she has gotten to the position she's in is beyond me.

Bear in mind, I've nothing against the type of area she works in, and am not an awards show/celeb tv show basher. I often enjoy Xpose but hate when she's on it- and the other girls are far better presenters than her.

AND!!!
At the awards, she called TG4 "TG Four", which in my opinion as a presenter should be a sackable offence. Then again, maybe Lorraine is incapable of learning a simple word like "ceathar".

Maybe that's why she's "leaving" Expose - didn't say 4 in the mother tongue.

Did their adverts telling people to vote say "vote for us and we'll our programmes better" - 'cos I might even have voted for them then.

Although, I do have to say, fair is fair on The Apprentice. No worse or no better then the other reality shows. Although a show called Feirm Factor. I missed that one!

Good enough Reason.

"vote for us and we'll our programmes better" I suppose they can say the work make on TV3

Feirm Factor was actually quite good.

I've got to stop drinking and posting!
