Chris Lilley Angry over ABC Logies fumble
Posted on Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 at 10:29 am
Oops!
Chris Lilley has this morning posted a scathing Facebook post announcing that fans will NOT be able to vote for Angry Boys for either the 2012 Gold or Silver Logie for the simple reason that the ABC ‘forgot’ to submit the show for voting consideration.
Here is Lilley’s post:
Some bad news for Australian fans
The ABC have forgotten to submit Angry Boys and Chris Lilley to The Logies for voting consideration for the Most Popular Categories. Due to this oversight you will NOT be able to vote in the Silver and Gold categories for the 2011 Logie Awards.
The Logies have been notified but have refused to add Angry Boys and Chris Lilley to the voting lists as the ABC missed the deadline for submission.
This is extremely disappointing for everyone who worked on Angry Boys and for fans who were hoping to vote. A press statement explaining the ABC’s error will be released shortly.
Contact the ABC or The Logies if you would like to take this issue further.

Do doubt this will leave both boys and girls around the country very angry. Chris Lilley and Princess Pictures have won four Logies since 2006′s ‘We Can Be Heroes’.

This sucks SO BAD!!! How can ABC “forget” a show which made them so much $$$$? Something is wrong here.
That’s a massive disappointment for everyone who worked on the show.
” forgetting” should NOT be an excuse. Myself and some other of chris’s fans are very angry about this matter. Gutted for Chris and the Crew. VERY SHOCKING!
