The 2015 DeciderTV Awards have been run and won. The #Molkies have struck again, and it’s been another massive voting turnout to deliver some upsets and some expected winners.
Wil Anderson again takes out a double for Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Presenter (Male) and Gruen as Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program, while Waleed Aly and Leigh Sales win for Most Outstanding TV Presenter (News/Current Affairs) Male and Female respectively.
No surprise for the winner of Program You Never Want To See Again (AKA Worst Show on TV in 2015) but possibly the biggest surprise win was for Person We’d Like To See On-Screen More Often.
Some of the categories were very close indeed. Redfern Now: Promise Me won by less than 0.1% ahead of Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door for Most Outstanding Australian Drama – Telemovie/Mini Series, and there were just 5 votes between Wentworth and The Doctor Blake Mysteries for Most Outstanding Australian Drama – Series.
It was nearly a clean sweep for Aunty, with end results showing the Government broadcaster very popular:
ABC – 12
Foxtel – 4
Ten – 3
Seven – 1
SBS – 1
Nine – 0
Did your favourites get up? Disagree with a win and think someone else should have won? Let us know in the comments, and make sure you congratulate all the winners (and those nominated – remember: it’s just an honour to be yada yada yada)…
Huge thanks from both Kevin and I to everyone who voted and all the winners for their lovely acceptances. Bring on the next #Molkies!

“It’s such an honour just to be nominated. That would have been enough for me. I mean, obviously a little of the gloss disappears when you see who I’m nominated with, but seeing your name come up now and then on something new when you’re Googling yourself is very gratifying. I don’t mean to suggest that I’m embarrassed being in a list with Charlie, Julia, Julia, Lawrence and Wil – not at all, they’re great and I’m proud to say they’re my friends, I’m just saying it would have been embarrassing to have lost to any of them. Thanks to Steve and Kevin for not making me attend anything to accept this award.” Shaun Micallef
