Craig McLachlan, Doctor Blake awarded at New York Festivals.

Not even on the Logies list, but Craig McLachlan's work is recognised in New York.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries and star Craig McLachlan have been recognised in the New York Festivals Film & Television Awards.

The December Media series won Silver in the “Crime Drama” category with Craig McLachlan awarded Silver as Best Performance by an Actor in the Craft section.

The recognition comes at a time when McLachlan is fighting back against harassment allegations and the former ABC drama hangs in limbo with the Seven network. McLachlan who has denied claims linked to a stage production of the Rocky Horror Show, was also denied an opportunity to be in Logie Awards contention, after ABC did not submit his name.

The New York Festivals is an extensive awards platform in TV, Radio, Advertising.

Seven News earned the Gold World Medal for Coverage of a Breaking News Story for its broadcast of the shooting massacre at the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Hotel.

Craig McPherson, Seven’s Director of News and Public Affairs, said: “Under enormous uncertainty and pressure Ashlee and Duncan produced extraordinary storytelling as this tragic event was unfolding around them. The mayhem and fear was there for all to see. On a terrible night they accurately brought home to Australia what they were witnessing. For days leading the coverage. The award is great recognition of their commitment to their craft and our audience.”

Australian wins also went to Dateline, MasterChef Australia, Wake in Fright and more:
