Kate Ritchie said last week on radio that former Gold Logie winners always get an invitation with a plus one, for life. She also mentioned that this year was the first year she chose to turn down the invitation.

Thatâs fair enough Gold Logie winners always get invited back. Thatâs the tradition.

Nat was there too.

Thatâs also fair enough. Nat and Shirvo literally are the faces of the network. Theyâre on television more hours than any other network talent.

One good thing was Australian Story winning Most Popular Public Affairs Program. A show that has been going for over 25 years, and had its first win. And against the âbig showsâ of 60 Minutes and A Current Affair.

Good on seven for doing things a little different. Though they need to drop the high school ball dinner tables and move to a traditional theatre style seating.
Cannot believe they gave Daryl the gig to announce the gold. Heâs not remotely funny and his show has come to represent a lot of the worst of Australian tv. Itâs not warm and fuzzy and nostalgic, Seven, itâs gross. Which casually racist dinosaur will do it next year?

Australian Story has won a number of Logies before but mostly in the Outstanding categories AFAIK.
Seems an odd entry in the current affairs category but looks like they ditched the category for factual program which would have been more fitting. Itâs not really a current affairs show

They probably should have renamed the category to Current Affairs or Factual.

Very nice to see them both being acknowledged for their longevity in the industry.
Agree that itâs not suited for the Public Affairs award. As JBar also mentioned, the award could be renamed, but i think as âMost Popular Public Affairs or Documentary Seriesâ is a better suit to what it is now. Australian Story is more of a doco, and since the logies cut Factual Award, they have to put the show somewhere. And obviously not in the Entertainment Program category. lol.
I still dont get how Alone Aus was nominated for the Outstanding Factual / Documentary Award, when in fact was a reality show.
Should a show that have a prizemoney factor and has judges be more considered a reality show than an entertainment show (like Australiaâs Got Talent and The Voice)?

That certainly was the biggest upset for the night. But has anyone actually watched Crazy Fun Park? And see if it was in deed more âoutstandingâ than Bluey? I havenât, so i cannot answer that legitimately.
Obviously, Bluey is popular. And if characters were to be given a chance to be nominated again (since Norman Gunston some 45 years ago), i am sure it would have been a chance to win the Gold Logie over many people.
