The TV Week Logie Awards are underway at The Star on the Gold Coast.
“Welcome to the last ever Logie Awards,” said opening presenter (and Gold nominee) Tom Gleeson.
Gleeson took aim at Karl Stefanovic, Married at First Sight, 10’s ratings, Grant Denyer, Foxtel and more.
“I think the reason they asked me to do the opening is because Channel 9 has run out of stars. They don’t have any left. They have new rule on breakfast TV: if you are too entertaining, they fire you. Am I right, Karl? If you’re too entertaining, they fire you. What I’m saying is Kochie, your job is safe.”
“It’s been a weird year for TV hasn’t it. Cricket was on Seven. Tennis on Nine. The Footy Show was on-air,” he continued.
“The Logies is like a house party: The ABC, we’re like the old neighbours complaining about the noise. Channel Seven is like the sensible family that never gets invited to parties. Channel 10 is the younger people that make a lot of noise even though no-one is listening. Channel 9 is like the divorced dad that hosts the party and spends the whole night trying to root SBS.”

One of the reasons I hated it was because when I turned on the TV I never saw anybody like me. When I did someone like me, it was a road safety ad where someone drink drives has a car accident and the next scene is someone like me whose ‘life is over’. I was like, that’s not my life.

I know that it is a national sport to boo-boo the Logies, but I think that most of the winners of the last few years have been better. How good was it seeing Mystery Road win the Most Popular Drama (with Wentworth last year)? A nice change seeing Deborah Mailman and Luke McGregor winning the Popular Acting Awards. How good was it seeing Dylan Alcott win New Talent for The Set (despite almost no one actually watching his show……). His speech was great, and his odd sports commentary at the Tennis and the Invictus Games were great in the last year.
Congrats to all the winners. Nice to see some winners from left field.
I’m delighted to see some of my favourites win (Australian Survivor, MasterChef, Wentworth, Tom Gleeson). However I really don’t get why the Logies are regarded with such wide disdain. I’m proud of the quality television we produce and would like to see more. We *should* be celebrating the industry we have. Along the way, we will agree and disagree with various winners but let’s support our home produced entertainment, get more people watching and make more. Congratulations to all the winners!
I’ve read the list and I’m very surprised with many of the winners last night. Quite disappointed that many of the nominees I wanted to win were’re chose.
What a brilliant opening. Tom was hilarious, nearly as good as Hughsey. Was disappointed Neighbours didn’t win anything.
Most popular television commerical? Who’d vote on commericals???
I wanted to vote for the Bupa ad with the penguins. Best ad on TV at the moment but it wasn’t even on the list.
Maybe next year’s logies?
Yay, Tom Gleeson won the Gold Logie 🙂
I don’t understand why the presenters are preceding to tell us all the nominees and what they are there for before proceeding to actually get to the nomination show reel which shows us all the nominees and what they are there for…? It’s baffling. It would shave probably 4 and a half hours off this 13 hour production…
Yes. This has been raised in previous years.
The graphics are great… and the overall production value is quite good… but geez, the Logies continue to lag behind in this very fickle, shaky modern era of Award shows in so many areas… how a production like this can nearly drag into the presumedly best part of 5 hours is beyond me… and Tony Martin’s jokes about how long it’s going no longer cut the mustard I’m afraid… self referential humour is lazy when it is repeatedly doing the same thing year in, year out… almost giving themselves a pass on it because they are woke to it and are ‘humorously’ referencing it… sorry, no more! Just fix it.
After ruining the show with Tony Martin’s crap last year “they” get him back. Pointless drivel. And I also hate the roving host talking gibberish to celebrities at the tables.
Clearly they either don’t use focus groups, or ignore their recommendations.
And oddly, after importing the cast of Young Sheldon to announce an award they pushed Rebecca Gibney out to do the Gold. I love Rebecca but there was simply no consistency, the show was all over the shop.
Wow Costa’s now now the favourite to win the gold! Sad for Amanda
good for costa though
I found tonight so far rather bland, I’m giving up at the 2 hour mark. I usually last longer. Some baffling winners as well.
Yeah, what happened with all the talentless soap stars winning all the awards, for shame I say!
But no soap stars won last night…..
Logies need to have an award for best News Presenter as News is a major part of all networks and the ratings leading into and out of each bulletin is crucial to networks day or night programming. Logies are going well tonight. Cannot expect everyone to be perfect and funny but overall it’s been entertaining and good fun. Just need an extra category for best news presenter as the networks have quiet a few therefore no shortage of nominees.
Yes, I agree!
Only potential issue with that is news presenters are mostly per-state, so they might not be recognised by a national audience outside of their home state. The other shows are all national so the actors / hosts can be recognised by everyone.
Who on earth booked Why Don’t We? That performance fell flatter than a pancake. Totally the wrong audience.
I had never heard of them or their music. Looks like i wasn’t the only one either..
Best suited for something on Nickelodeon or something, they were terrible. As were the cast of Sheldon or whatever it was – obviously all graduates from the Bindi Irwin school of performance.
Good to see a positive reality show win, Master Chef, nothing like that nasty
rubbish MKR 🙂
And most importantly, not Married at First Sight!
Peter Helliar is a massive embarrassment.
No respect at all.
The Project, Masterchef and HYPBA all very deserving winners. Clearly the best in their fields in my opinion.
Very happy …and a tad surprised with the awards so far….wow
First time in a lot of years that I can say….I am really enjoying the Logies….it is flowing nicely….
I’m liking Tony Martin’s voice over even more this year – cutting but funny 🙂
Yes…me too
Yes. I’m quite surprised by many of the winners this year too when you look at it in previous years. I believe the issue this time around is many people didn’t think they had to vote for a second time. In other years you just voted once in the categories and those announced as nominated were the ones who had the most votes and so TV Week already knew who the winner was out of them.
Now after they have received votes to make up those who are nominated they open the voting for a second time for people to then vote out of those who got the most votes. I think many people who initially voted in the first round did not return to vote in the second round thinking they only had to vote once but all that did was decide the nominations. So those who voted for many of the teen soapie stars and so forth have not returned and instead many of the ABC drama actors are winning, whereas…
No, its because this year they instigated mobile phone verification of the votes so you couldn’t multi-vote like in past years unless you bought a whole heap of pay-as-you-go phones 🙂
Ahh…thanks…I was wondering why the mobile phone number request…
