Yeah I was also aiming Julia to win too
They were up at the big peopleâs table, next to Warburton, Macpherson and Sonia. Wouldnât want to get too big for their boots, as it goes against want Sunrise is supposed to be.: The show from the tin shed. Just an attitude thing.
I see. Probably not ideal considering his networks half ownership of Stan which commissions the showâŚ. Bit grubby.

But donât forget that the Gold Logie is not about being âgoodâ but being âpopularâ. Being in a gazillion shows means she would be exposed to more viewers and potentially more people who can vote for her.

And also the way itâs been advertised Sonia was almost the spokesperson for The Logies this year.

Real people still have to vote.

Clearly people forgot about Soniaâs racist past with her extreme right wing comments. Iâve also found her quite talentless. But really thereâs no accounting for the taste of the average Australian viewer.

its a shame Cheap Seats won and Mel was away
Ok, finally watched the whole thing on catch-up.
ITV did a wonderful job, it was much pacier, with no stupid pointless international guests or musical performers, and not 12 performances or whatever Nine were doing, Credit to Seven for getting a production house to produce it properly. Sam was great obviously, and the presenters were fine - award show banter is always hard. Having a host who knew when to keep out of the way but sprinkle in the jokes was much needed.
Having it back in a major city was a godsend - never take it away from Sydney or Melbourne again, it was a joke on the Gold Coast. Also the staging and use of the venue was very good - perfect size and the shape and look of the seating was much better than previous - much more like a proper awards show.
It was good to see how the industry has grown up with the networks, Foxtel and streamers all well represented - really well made quality dramas and comedies finally back up on stage after years away.
Let down at the end by Darylâs nonsense, the Gold winner - meh itâs a popularity contest with online voting, I think overall a great success, and super happy to see the Logies return to being a well-crafted event, and not stuck in the 90s as it was with Nine.

And itâs Karl who gets the headlines for the dud joke that only he understood.

Kate Miller Heidkeâs version of Xanadu was just beautiful.

Sam was virtually the only highlight of the show. The introductions for each category were terrible with the presenters rambling on and the jokes fell flat. Poh looked like she was being held hostage.

Itâs a one up on Tom Gleeson. I donât think she cares.
Thatâs what happens when people present awards outside their area. Why were chefs from reality shows giving out the journalism award?
I take that comment more that she was uncomfortable on stage with Colin⌠Not that it wasnât her area
Itâs a fair point though. They could have had a better match up between presenters and awards. Some just made no sense at all.

Youâll always get awkward match ups.
Theyâve been some cringing moments in the past.
she did look uncomfortable next to him.
