Logies - My Response

Not usually one my blog's post, but the Logies was the talk of the town late Sunday night, Monday morning. TV is not dead yet. But close. Also how'd they pick the winners? Is Irene really Australia's best actress?

Why'd Netflix get so many nominations and nearly no Logies.

Also how'd A Current Affair get a Logie for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter? Weird right.

Now I also made my predictions earlier, you can view them here, to see how I went.

So the winners, I got the big gold, mainly cause everyone loves a retirement of an Aussie icon.


Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television

WINNER: Lynne McGranger, “Home and Away,” Seven Network


I somehow also guessed this one. Random I know. But Jelena Dokic also made Todd seem like a total winner on the night. Cute!

Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter

WINNER: Todd Woodbridge, “Tipping Point Australia,” “Australian Open,” “The Olympic Games Paris 2024,” “Paris 2024 Paralympic Games,” 9Network


Totally got this one wrong. Prefer Aaron Chen.
