Hamish Blake has taken out the Gold Logie after Karl Stefanovic became the butt of jokes, and ratings show what Aussies think of the Logies.

Hamish Blake has taken out the coveted Gold Logie award, marking his second award of the night.

While it was his third Logie for the night, he joked that it was now the first Gold Logie in five years not to be decided by Tom Gleeson.

“That is a huge honour. Of course I‘d like to thank Channel Nine who would in turn like to thank me for Gold,” he said.

Blake thanked his kids and his “beautiful” wife Zoe who he said was the ”most amazing” of people.

“You stole my look for tonight, and I had to quickly find this but I think you do it better anyway,” he said.

The Gold Logie winner said he was more than keen for the Logies to stay on the Gold Coast following his big win.

“So far so good, everything should stay as is,” he said.

Blake said he probably didn‘t spend enough time congratulating the other nominations but said Ray Meagher would’ve been a good pick.

“He’s been on TV for 37 years and he was my age when he started. He would’ve been great,” he said.

“Anyone would‘ve been more deserving probably, but you know bad luck. That’s the vote.”

Blake was mortified that he forgot to thank his longtime co-host Andy Lee but said he always has a “legacy” thanks.

“I think Andy knows he has a legacy thanks, a long-standing thanks. If anyone bumps into him, tell him I said that,” he said.

The return of the Logies after a three-year pandemic hiatus saw only a slight increase in viewers for the awards ceremony which once again went into overtime this year. .

The telecast drew 885,000 viewers across the capital cities compared to 866,000 in 2019 when the awards also wrapped up well more than half an hour past its scheduled finish of 11pm.

The awards gig, which lit up Twitter courtesy of the opening monologue from Julia Morris which sledged Twitter’s cancel culture, came third on Sunday night behind the Seven and Nine nightly news broadcasts.
Dave Hughes took to the stage to present the coveted Gold Logie award while also taking jabs at all the nominees.

“First off it‘s Hamish Blake. Hamish Blake, a man whose wife is so rich he’s allowed to play with Lego all day,” he said.

“Next it is Julia Morris. And I believe if she wins tonight, her and the hot vet might finally get it on,” he said.

He then turned to Karl Stefanovic saying: “If he wins again you‘ll be drunk for another 11 years.”

LISA WINS LOGIE AS KARL ROASTED

Lisa Wilkinson accepted a Logie Award and paid tribute to Brittany Higgins after The Project co-host won the gong for her one-on-one interview with the former political staffer on The Project.

Wilkinson won the award for News Coverage or Public Affairs Report, making it the first time The Project has won the award in this category.

Wilkinson accepted the award saying the interview was the most important work she’s done in her 40 years of journalism.

“I knew it from the very first phone call I had early last year with a young woman whose name she told me was Brittany Higgins. Four incredibly intense sleepless weeks later, when our story went to air, the entire country knew the name Brittany Higgins,” she said.

Wilkinson said the honour of the award belonged to Brittany for her “unwavering courage”.

“It belongs to a woman who said ‘enough’. It belongs to a woman who inspired more than 100,000 similarly pissed off, exhausted women and men to take to the streets across this country and roar in numbers too big to ignore,” she said.

“Thank you for helping to change the national conversation. And on behalf of all of the generations of women to come, thank you Brittany for never giving up.”

Backstage Wilkinson said transparency is something that is clearly still a problem in a lot of workplaces in this country.

“I have to be very careful about what I’m saying – what I know is that Brittany’s courage encouraged more than 100,000 good women and men to take to the street and say that they had enough.

“I’ll always be grateful to Brittany for the trust she placed in me for helping to tell her story.”

The win for Wilkinson comes after her ex-breakfast TV show partner Karl Stefanovic became the butt end of jokes at the TV Week Logie Awards, with Tom Gleeson and Chrissie Swan roasting him on stage.

Gleeson took aim at the Today Show co-host when he was on stage with Logies Ambassador Sophie Monk.

Monk and Gleeson jabbed at each other on stage when presenting the Most Popular Actor award.

Gleeson, who admitted to downing a few wines, said he wouldn’t apologise for being drunk on stage before taking a shot at the night’s punching bag, Karl Stefanovic.

“At least I was drunk late at night at an awards ceremony where it belongs. I wasn’t drunk early in the morning in the third-highest rating morning show, am I right Karl?” Gleeson said.

Monk then joked that Gleeson’s tough-guy persona was all an act.

“He might come off like a d*ckhead, but he’s actually really lovely,” Monk said.

“Thank you trash bag,” Gleeson replied.

Monk accepted the award on behalf of winner Guy Pearce for Most Popular Actor, as the Australian screen star wasn’t in attendance.

“He couldn’t be here tonight, but I bet he’d be stoked,” she said.

Meantime, Monk’s low-cut, Gold Logie-inspired dress was the subject of much social media commentary, with some referring to it as “nipple gate” waiting to happen.

One viewer tweeted: “Gold Logie to the tape Sophie Monk is using on her dress”.

Another tweeted: “Gold Logie to Tom Gleeson for maintaining eye contact in that presentation with Sophie Monk”.

Earlier, Swan took aim at Stefanovic, leaving the audience gasping as the network rivals presented an award together.

“I came to the rehearsal, so I get to do the honours,” Swan said to Stefanovic, when it was time to announce the winner of the Most Popular Lifestyle category.

Clutching the award envelope, Swan’s jab drew gasps from the crowd, as Stefanovic appeared sheepish.

“I was having cocktails, living my best life and getting on it,” Stefanovic told Swan, as eyebrows were raised.

PATTI’S TRIBUTE TO BERT

A touching tribute to the late Bert Newton was played at the Logies, before his wife of 47 years, Patti Newton, was welcomed to the stage with a standing ovation.

“Isn’t he fabulous, I mean what am I going to do without him,” she said.

Patti said Bert’s passing was still “very raw” and she would never get over him not being there.

“He’s with me and he’s inside of me,” she said.

Patti and Bert’s daughter Lauren sat in the audience looking emotional as her mother spoke about Bert’s last days.

“He never complained, and he always tried to find something to look forward to,” she said.

“He lived his dream. He started in television when television really just began.”

She said the Logies were Bert’s “baby”.

“He made it his own, the more things that went wrong, the better he felt,” she said.

“People came up and said stupid things and he’d love it.”

Patti then announced the new Bert Newton Award for the Most Popular Presenter, and spoke about Bert’s reaction to the award being named in his honour.

“I’m absolutely certain he would say ‘What? Not the Gold then?” she said.

Hamish Blake took out the prize for the Bert Newton Award for the Most Popular Presenter.

It is the second time Blake has won the presenter award and comes as a good sign for Blake who is also nominated for the Gold Logie.

“This is so special, thank you Patti. I don’t think I’m the only one who is a bit emotional after having seen that. That bit of Bert doing what he was born to do, what he was meant to do, this is a crazy honour,” he said.

Blake compared himself to the late icon and joked, he didn’t do as much work as Newton.

“I came home from work and Zoe asked what everyone built today and I said they built amazing things and she said, ‘what did you do?’ I was dressed as a vampire and rolled around on rollerblades,” he said.

Patti said backstage that she felt that Bert was with her tonight and helping her along the way.

“I wish Bert was here – it was really emotional and I was overwhelmed by it all,” she said.

“I really didn’t think I’d be able to remember and say everything.”

Patti went on to proclaim Blake was the new Bert Newton.

Blake responded quickly saying “not quite”.

He went on to say he was really overwhelmed accepting the award.

“That was massive,” he said.

“Like everyone watching even just a tiny snippet of what Bert had done and what he gave, it just felt too big, but I love that this (award) will go on and will go to dozens, hopefully hundreds more people and his name will be on it.”

TIM MINCHIN LEADS IN MEMORIAM

Tim Minchin performed his hauntingly beautiful Carry Me from Foxtel‘s drama Upright for the In Memoriam segment, as the Logies paid tribute to the entertainers who had died in the last three years.

The 800 guests applauded loudest for David Gulpilil (Kingfisher) Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu, Bert Newton and Shane Warne.

HALL OF FAME

It came as Bruce McAvaney was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, with Australian football Hall of Fame legend, Leigh Matthews, announcing the honour.

“It’s also a great pleasure because Macca has been a friend, a confidante and a much- admired colleague on Seven’s AFL coverage for many years,” Matthews said.

“Many people are intrigued by his unique on-air persona and I’m often asked what Bruce is really like and my response is always the same. What you see is what you get.”

The commentary legend revealed in 2017 that he was diagnosed with leukaemia, however last year said he was “not anything close to retirement” despite no longer commentating for the AFL.

THE NEWSREADER WINS MOST OUTSTANDING DRAMA

Crowd-favourite The Newsreader took out the prize for the Most Outstanding Drama with the cast and producers Joanna Werner and Michael Lucas accepting the award.

Filming during the pandemic was a “hell of a challenge”, according to Lucas who thanked his colleagues for their hard work.

“It felt like everybody just completely took it to the next level on ‘The Newsreader’,” he said.

Lucas also said the cast and crew were “nerding out” seeing the real icons of news at The Logies.

“I want to thank those newsroom veterans that helped us out... Your secrets may not be safe but they will be fictionalised. Thank you,” he said.

The cast of the Newsreader said a lot of the show would be “pretty recognisable” thanks to events like the Logies with the second season to start filming in the coming weeks.

ROXBURGH NAMED MOST OUTSTANDING ACTOR

Yet another winner wasn‘t able to be there tonight with Richard Roxburgh taking out the Most Outstanding Actor award.

Presenter Tim Minchin said Roxburgh couldn‘t be there and also didn’t send in an acceptance video.

“We encourage you all to meditate on what you think Richard would‘ve said and really take it to heart,” he joked.

ANNA TORV WINS LOGIE

Anna Torv from the Newsreader took out the award for the Most Outstanding Actress.

She accepted the award via a prerecorded video saying it was a “privilege” to receive the award.

“I wish that I was there with everyone this evening. Playing Helen has been such a gift,” she said.

LOGIE GATECRASHER INTERUPTS START OF JESS MAUBOY’S PERFORMANCE

Osher Gunsberg‘s announcement of Jess Mauboy’s performance was gate-crashed by a man who tried to get his attention mid-speech.

Gunsberg stopped his presentation, which was filmed live, and seemed surprised by the man.

“You‘re right mate. No problem at all,” he said to the man before trying desperately to redirect the attention back on the upcoming performance.

The rude interrupter was Pete “Intern Pete” Deppeler, a producer on Kyle and Jackie‘s breakfast radio show.

Deppeler has form for injecting himself into big moments, infamously crashing Steve Smith‘s emotional press conference when the cricketer was in the middle of his public apology for the sandpaper scandal.

Logies organisers ousted him from the 2016 awards when he arrived spray-painted in gold - mimicking a Gold Logie and dripped paint everywhere he went, including all over the expensive suits and gowns as he tried to score photos with the stars.

He was not winning any popularity contest with organisers for this year‘s stunt when he attempted to steal Gunsberg’s focus as he introduced Mauboy’s performance. Just so he would have something to spruik on radio on Monday morning.

“Oh yeah, my apologies, didn‘t mean to interrupt,” he commented when asked about the awkward on-air moment.

FIRST NATION’S DOCO WINS AWARD

Incarceration Nation won the Outstanding Factual or Documentary Program award for the night.

The documentary explores the ongoing incarceration of young First Nation people, with director Dean Gibson accepting the award.

“It was a tough film to make. We had a fantastic crew and a fantastic cast. We couldn‘t have done it without those people,” he said.

BINGE STAR WINS MOST OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Seasoned actress Heather Mitchell from the popular new show Love Me won the award for Most Outstanding Supporting Actress with her fellow cast giving her a standing ovation.

Mitchell graciously thanked her colleagues and gave a special mention to the director of the show.

“To the woman who squeezed all the love out of us and put it out on the screen, the phenomenal and incomparable Emma Freeman,” she said.

Mitchell said backstage none of the Love Me cast felt like they were in lead or supporting roles.

“Everyone treated the script with the same sort of respect and involvement – it was a real honour,” she said.

It was the first time the 65-year-old actress had been at TV’s night of nights.

“I’ve never been at my ripe old age and I’m just so excited,” she said.

“Just being in that room alone is a joy after such a long time apart, but I’m absolutely thrilled for Love Me.

“We had seven nominations and we were like ‘C’mon, C’mon we’ve got to get one’.”

And she attributes her magnificently-toned arms to genetics.

“I think I get them from my mother – I certainly haven’t done anything,” she said.

WAKEFIELD STAR WINS MOST OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR

Colin Friels won the award for the Most Outstanding Supporting Actor for his work on Wakefield.

Friels wasn‘t at the Logies to accept his award so presenter Natalie Abbott accepted on his behalf.

“I will be accepting this on Colin‘s behalf. So just like to say thanks mum and dad and thanks everyone, have a good night,” she said.

FIRES CROWNED BEST MINI SERIES

Magda Szubanski presented the award for Most Outstanding Mini-Series or Telemovie and jokingly addressed directors, casts and crews making film and TV across the country.

“Tonight I would like to take this opportunity to say to all of the dedicated writers, directors, casts and crews who have made all those amazing Australian programs over the last couple of years... Enough,” she said.

“Just give it a bone. Just give it a bone. Sooner or later Australia is going to need to get off the couch.”

Fires took out the prize with the cast and crew accepting the prize saying there were hopes for the miniseries to be a call to arms for climate change.

GOGGLEBOX SCORES A WIN

There was a mic drop of sorts when Melissa Leong and Chris Brown took to the stage to announce the winner for the Most Popular Entertainment Program, but only to suit the height difference.

The pair gushed over each nomination saying Anh‘s Brush with Fame had amazing painting, Hard Quiz showed unrivalled knowledge and Lego Masters proved boundless imagination, but paused to think of the right words for Gogglebox.

“Watching television,” Brown said.

But Gogglebox got the last laugh when it won the gong for Popular Entertainment Program with executive producer David McDonald thanking the other competitors.

“I‘d like to thank everyone for all the programs that they make, because without your programs we can’t make our program,” he said.

BLUEY’S LOGIES GLORY

Bluey won the Most Outstanding Children’s Program with creator Joe Brumm thanking the kids who worked on the show.

“A massive thank you to all of our young kids who do voices on the show,” Brumm said.

“They are such a great little bunch of champions and they make the show come alive.”

Bluey won the Most Outstanding Children's Program accepted by the show’s creator, Joe Brumm, centre.

THE PROJECTS WINS ANOTHER LOGIE

The Project won Popular Panel or Current Affairs Program with Lisa Wilkinson, Waleed Aly and Peter Helliar accepting the award.

Helliar joked that Carrie Bickmore wasn’t there because she’d “headed to the afterparty early”.

Wilkinson entered the media room, champagne in hand and barefoot, revealing that she had “no idea” it was time for the Most Popular Panel or Current Affairs Program category, and had to rush to the stage sans her shoes.

“If you saw me teetering on stage it was because I was on tippy toes pretending I still had my shoes on,” she said.

Her Project co-host Waleed Aly said he had a slight feeling the team could win.

“It’s good working under Rove and it is working under Rove that became very clear the week we did from Perth – Peter and I were chained to the desk and he was off swimming with sharks, We were like Oh that’s right he owns the company,” Aly said.

ABC PRESENTER NAMED MOST POPULAR NEW TALENT

The Graham Kennedy Award for the Most Popular New Talent went to ABC presenter Tony Armstrong who immediately asked for “contract negotiations” as he got on stage.

“There are a lot of people I need to thank. The old cheese, my mum, she is a superstar, has done everything for me,” he said.

BARNSEY AND SON SING LIVE

In a special family moment, Jimmy Barnes and his son David Campbell performed together - singing a soulful rendition of Do You Love Me.

Barnes wore a white suit while Campbell was fresh off presenting on the red carpet in a black suit.

Meanwhile, Jackie Weaver took out the gong for Most Popular Australian Actor Or Actress in an International Program for her work on Yellowstone.

She appeared in a video stream from overseas saying she thought it must be a mistake.

“I demand a recount, no, I don’t want a recount,” she said.

KITTY’S SURPRISE LOGIE WIN

Kitty Flanagan took out the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress, with Sam Pang surprising the audience by accepting the award on her behalf.

“Kitty obviously couldn’t be here tonight, so for lovers of awards shows this is a

bit like in 1973 the Oscars when Marlon Brando won and set up a Native American,” he said.

Pang joked Kitty would be “mortified” that she won the award.

“Kitty, I note would be mortified that she has won this award, considering all the nominees you just saw,” he said.

“She would be happy to know it was not really a popular win in the room. Sorry Deborah Mailman. And everyone else.”

Backstage, the jokes continued for Pang, who said there was a “50/50 chance that she’ll actually get the award”.

“Look I’ve got a few after parties to get through, if they cut me off I’ll use this a collateral,” Pang joked.

Pang said his good friend Kitty would be mortified she had won.

“There were real actresses in this category,” he said. “She’s funny but she’s no thespian.”

MASTERCHEF JUDGE’S EMOTIONAL SPEECH

MasterChef Australia won the Popular Reality Program which was the first win for the three judges together, but the show’s fourth win overall.

Melissa Leong and Andy Allen accepted the award with Jock Zonfrallo unable to attend due to illness.

“I suppose for me personally the contestants, being one back in the day in 2012, it shows what the show can do,” Allen said.

“I was an electrician 10 years ago. Now here we are.”

Backstage, Allen said he would never forget when he was announced the new judge.

“I was a sparky ten years ago … to have Gordon Ramsay introduce you as one of the new judges,” Allen said.

“I think you never obviously do it for this,” Allen continued. “You do it for us. It’s a cooking competition, yes it’s a TV show but I look back at my own journey because it’s real, if I could just help one person … that’s enough for me.

“Yes this is amazing … but for us it’s more about the cooking component of the competition.”

Allen joked that his mum still asks if he wished he’d finished his apprenticsheip.

“I’m like I’ve got five restaurants, and now a Logie and you want me to finish my apprenticeship."

MORRIS AND BROWN STUNNED AT WIN

Julia Morris and Chris Brown accepted the award for Outstanding Reality Program with I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here taking the gong.

Morris joked about the show being nominated four times in the “popular” category before finally winning the “outstanding” award.

“We are the least interesting thing about this show,” Morris said.

The pair thanked their all-Aussie crew after not being able to return to South Africa for the past two years, before struggling to find words to explain the win.

“You know we are in trouble when we win the award and Julia looks at me,” Brown said.

Morris joked back: “I can’t speak, I don’t even have my own teeth.”

Morris revealed back stage that she and Dr Chris Brown genuinely never believed they were a contender against the big guns in their category.

“The cameras are lined up to look at people in their seats and I said to Dr Chris’ check it out our cameras are all off to one side, not even on us’. So I sat back and took a big bite of dessert and then our name was called out.”

Dr Chris added he had to remind Julia they were actually in the category, nominated every year since 2016.

“Someone asked why we are getting up to accept the award when we get to stay in a hotel, eat a lovely dinner and get nine hours sleep every night,” he said.

“While the contestants eat ostrich anus and testicles. And they’re right they probably should have accepted the award.”

AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR GIVES SPORTS GONG

ABC News Breakfast sports presenter Tony Armstrong and Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott presented the Outstanding Sporting Coverage with Armstrong saying there was no one better to present the award.

“Who better to present this award than you and I. Given our sporting pedigree between us. We have four gold medals, 15 singles major trophies, and also the title of the first man to win a Golden Slam,” he said.

Alcott then asked Armstrong what he contributed to the overall accolades.

“I’m glad you asked. 35 games of AFL. They were OK. Across three clubs,” Armstrong said.

Seven Network’s coverage of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo took out the prize.

Backstage, Armstrong said he was totally humbled by being at the Logies.

“It’s all a bit weird right?,” he said, admitting that maybe his now viral reaction to the Socceroos making the World Cup might have helped with the votes.

“I just threw every single bit of journalistic integrity out of the window.

“I got told off by the people who matter, Actually make that told off by the people who don’t matter like bosses. Actually I’m making up lies here.”

Armstrong joked when asked how did it feel to win most popular new talent when he was against a heap of actors.

“Well, I’m acting as news presenter,” he laughed.

HYPBA STARS TAKE JIBES AT EACH OTHER

Have You Been Paying Attention took out the prize for Popular Comedy Program with Tom Gleisner, Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang accepting the award.

Kavalee jokingly threw Pang under the bus in his speech saying the afterparty was in his room tonight.

Gleisner joked backstage that while he’s the host he feels much more like a chair umpire at a tennis match with Nick Kyrgios playing.

After Pang announced on stage he was out of contract at the end of this year, Kavalee “revealed” his fellow HYBPA team captain would head back to SBS to see if he could be the first person to be sacked from the network three times.

MORRIS OPENS WITH AWKWARD ROAST

Julia Morris opened the TV Week Logie Awards with a blistering monologue, touching on everything from politics to Botox.

“I’m fascinated when people get cancelled and they say you know what I was speaking my truth. It was all my truth. I say truth,” I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! host Morris told the crowd at the ceremony on the Gold Coast.

“Seriously, you’re in television there’s absolutely no truth in television.

“So everybody just relax. I’m a 54-year-old woman. I dye my hair. I wax my legs. I have botulism injected into my forehead.”

‘My eyes cut right back!’ Comedian and TV host Julia Morris opened the Logies with a savage monologue revealing what it takes her to get TV ready. Picture: Nine

In savage form, Morris continued: “I have fake nails. I have age spots lasered off my décolletage”.

“I’ve had the hoods cut back in my eyes guys. Literally my eyes cut right back and opened.

I have hydro facials. I’ve a personal trainer.

“You know the worse thing about looking this good is, you know what it is, no-one is

allowed to tell me anymore. No-one is allowed to tell me you look hot old lady J Mo. It’s honest, it’s not ideal. It’s not ideal. What can you do?”

EARLY WINNERS

Hamish Blake accepted the first award of the night on behalf of Lego Masters for winning the Most Outstanding Entertainment or Comedy Program.

“Well, there aren’t a lot of you here. Jokes on us. Okay. Excellent prank. Long run up. Excellent pranking,” Blake said.

Blake joked he couldn’t find the words to describe what the show meant to him.

“It’s like there are thousands and thousands of little pieces that come together to make the show. I can’t think of an analogy,” he said.

Elsewhere, Home and Away won the gong for the Most Popular Drama with James Stewart speaking on behalf of the cast. “The best thing about our crew is we’re mates. That makes work fun. Same goes for the production team,” he said.

Travel Guides took out the gong in the end, which was their first win and saw them beat the highly fancied Gardening Australia.

The cast accepted the award giving the Logies “five stars out of five”.
