Last night (Friday), Shaun won an AFI Award for Outstanding Achievement in Television Screen Craft. Not bad for a completely talent less berk! 🙂

The Australian Film Industry awards is split into the Industry Awards and the Awards Ceremony (which is televised). At the Industry Awards (held on Friday), the AFI gives a few ‘honorary’ awards out at their discretion. And this year, Shaun was deemed worthy of the award for Television.
Well done, Shaun!
Voting has opened for the 2011 Logie Awards – Australia’s closest thing to an Emmy.
To vote, you’ll need to choose your favourites in a number of categories (including best new ‘talent’) – but the important thing is you can vote for Shaun as Most Popular Presenter and Most Popular TV Personality – ie. the Gold! You can also cast a vote for TAYG.
You’ll also need to supply your details to validate your vote – but it is well worth it…. for Shaun… 🙂
(PS. You have till February to cast your vote.)
Obviously, Shaun won a silver Logie this year for most popular presenter – and he very much deserved it! Sure, it wasn’t the Gold, but when the winner is a soapie star, what chance does real talent have?
I believe this is his first individual Logie; previous wins were for the legendary Micallef Prog(r)am(me).
If you haven’t seen his speech, you should be ashamed. Then you should watch it on YouTube (or is it Sir Laurence Olivier’s speech?!) 🙂
