Logies 2019


Oh the Logies, Tracey Grimshaw and others got the shits that Tom Gleeson (Hard Quiz) took out
The Gold Logie for most popular personality on Australian TV whilst runners up -

Amanda Keller (The Living Room / Dancing With The Stars)
Costa Georgiadis (Gardening Australia)
Eve Morey (Neighbours)
Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor)
Sam Mac (Sunrise)
Waleed Aly (The Project)

Watched on, Costa had already had a good night, he and Karl were also the butt of most jokes, but Costa seems like a top bloke.

Waleed had won before, Doctor Doctor is dreadful and Keller would be on a huge salary across Channel Ten and WSFM.

Also who is Eve Morey and what does Sam Mac do on Bumrise?

Other than all the Gold Logie nonsense, the ABC and Foxtel ran riot. Not to mention STAN did fairly well with one of their only original productions in the last TV year, Bloom. STAN played many an ad during the Logies telecast (thanks to their partnership with Nine) so it will be interested to see if the Aussie streaming service picks up new viewers.

If you want a comprehensive look at all the winners, check out the ABC coverage HERE.

Winners included in the popular categories, Most popular actor, Luke McGregor (Rosehaven), whilst the Most popular actress was shared ABC/Nine talent Deborah Mailman (Bite Club/Mystery Road).

ABC scooped Most popular presenter with the bearded Costa Georgiadis (Gardening Australia) whilst Most popular drama program was taken out by Mystery Road beating Neighbours, The Cry and even Wentworth.

Most popular reality program was another big win for Channel Ten with 11 year old reality titan MasterChef Australia winning the silver.

Most popular panel or current affairs program was another win for Channel Ten, they may do terrible some nights on the ratings, but The Project beat some serious ABC programs.

Most outstanding drama series was a huge win for Foxtel with Wentworth edging out another Foxtel title Secret City: Under the Eagle.

Most outstanding actor was an overseas investment in Australian TV with a win for Scott Ryan (Ray Shoesmith, Mr Inbetween). This does however air locally on Foxtel.

Most outstanding actress was another ABC silver, this time for Jenna Coleman (Joanna, The Cry). Even edging out the wonderful, Judy Davis (Emma James, Mystery Road), exceptional Leah Purcell (Rita Connors, Wentworth) and SBS star Nicole Chamoun (Amirah Al-Amir, On The Ropes).

Until next year, the Logies are all done and dusted. Here are a few highlights or lowlights depending on the audience.
