Won the gold but very little else this year. The gold Logie push at 7 in overdrive once again.

Overall a good ceremony.

ABC were the big winners of the night. Nine did well too.

Congrats to Lynne.

Can we have the same presenters presenting two awards, rather than one. They really dragged it out bringing out actors and presenters trying to be funny for Every. Single. Category.

Would have been for anyone that requested it I imagine the moment she won it was input. Not that hard to do on the fly, auto cue is essentially notepad in black and white and scrolls…
I don’t think it’s some conspiracy as she mentioned it wasn’t in there to start with

536

I was hoping Lynne was gonna do a funny speech after seeing her cheap seats appearance but she was like a deer in the headlights and like any actor needed a script

As I said - not entirely unexpected. Nine did it, so Seven doing it isn’t too far off the mark.

They shouldn’t really do it, but meh.

538

Lynne deserved it but interesting that in the three years that Seven has broadcasted the Logies, three Seven personalities have won the gold logie.. Hmm

Didn’t watch live this year so couldn’t comment as it happened.

People here are complaining about certain actors being better than others. You keep forgetting that even though the award categories are called “Best”, they really are popularity awards because viewers are voting for their favourite. The awards really need to go back to separate Most Popular and Outstanding categories.

We also need to widen the pool of nominees so it’s not just the network choices which are up for nomination.

It’s frustratingly bad that the acting awards are not being presented by fellow actors but people from reality/sports/entertainment shows. Same goes for the mashups in every other category too. The awards should be presented by people from the same genre.

To shorten the ceremony, the winners of some of these awards like Sport and News should just be mentioned going to an ad break and not have the winners on stage.

One or two musical guests is enough and they should be acts which have something to do with the past year in television.

The likely possibility is everyone watches Channel 7. That’s the No.1 network nationwide and that is the network that dominates Australia.

Either that or maybe Seven is rigging it to ensure their network’s personality wins (based on a Seven Network personality’s highest number of received votes for the Gold Logie win) when they are the broadcaster for the Logies.

What could be the more likely scenario out of all this? Outright strange.

541

You know the thing is rigged when The Voice wins “most popular” anything.

It’s as popular as ElCaptainCranky’s farts in an elevator.

Yes. This made no sense. Aaron Chen has more of a supporting role than Julia Zemiro does. They both should have been in supporting role categories.

Sorry I skipped reading the 200 posts, just wanted to say Seven consistently produce a far superior product to what Nine did. The voting and awards selection - I have no clue about, but all the winners were worthy to me and the production was again far pacier and less bloated than Nine ever did. Could have skipped Guy’s performance, but the rest was bang on, and great Hall of Fame indiction and In Memorial sections once again.

Sam was great as well at holding it all together, he’s becoming an excellent awards host, which is a skill in itself.

544

Then don’t watch it.

Sam pang put me to sleep with his jokes and boring humor but managed to wake up and catch the gold logie announcement/winner.

545

Predictions for 2026:

Channel 7 to rally behind Nat Barr as their Gold Nominee:celebrating her decades on Sunrise.

Kitty Flanagan and Todd Woodbridge to be nominated for Gold

NINE SHINES WITH SIX AWARDS AT THE 65TH TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS

Nine celebrates six wins at Australia’s most prestigious television awards night, the 65th TV Week Logie Awards, held at The Star Sydney on Sunday, August 3.

Accepting the newly named and highly-coveted Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, host of A Current Affair, Ally Langdon dedicated the win to Ray Martin: “We are so incredibly privileged to hold the jobs that we do, and Ray you showed us how to do it. We care about the people we do stories with, we care about the little guys, we get them results and there is nothing that means more.”

The haul included Best Sports Coverage for the 9Network, 9Now and Stan Sport’s joint coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Accepting the award, hosts Ally Langdon and James Bracey said: “To all the Olympians and Paralympians, thank you for the most extraordinary performances that you could have given our country… Thank you so much for watching us, because we loved doing it.”

Travel Guides continued its winning streak, receiving its fourth consecutive TV Week Logie Award for Best Lifestyle Program. Executive Producer Hugh Brodie said “We are the luckiest people in the world to be able to travel the world and call it a job… I get stopped all the time and people tell me, Travel Guides is the only show on TV where we sit down as a family and watch it together with our kids. I think it’s a really special thing that we have that connection with our audience.”

LEGO® Masters Australia took out the TV Week Logie Award, for the Best Competition Reality Program. Host Hamish Blake said: “For everyone that lets this show be a part of their family’s ritual, thanks very much we really appreciate it”.

Tennis legend Todd Woodbridge won his first Logie - the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter. The host of Tipping Point Australia, Australian Open, The Olympic Games Paris 2024 and Paris 2024 Paralympic Games said: “What a great honour it is to be able to have won an award named after one of the greats of television. I feel quite special.”

Also winning her first TV Week Logie Award, Jelena Dokic won Best Factual or Documentary Program for Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story. In her powerful acceptance speech she said: “This is a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health, to not just have this story heard but for them to reclaim their life, to find their voice and to actually not just survive but to thrive.”

Nine Managing Director, Streaming and Broadcast, Amanda Laing said: “Tonight’s result is a tremendous achievement for the 9Network and Stan. Winning six Logies across News, Sport and Entertainment is a testament to the talent, creativity and hard work of our people both on and off screen. I want to thank our extraordinary teams, our production partners, and most importantly, the millions of Australians who choose to watch our content every day.

These wins reinforce the enduring power of storytelling and reflect the strength and creativity that define Nine. The Logies showcase the best of Australian stories, Australian talent, and deliver premium entertainment to audiences, something that runs through our veins at Nine.”
