GOLD LOGIE
“Asher Keddie deserves the Gold Logie for her outstanding five-star performance in Strife. Her ability to bring depth and authenticity to this role highlights her exceptional talent and dedication. You know it’s going to be a good show when Asher Keddie is in it,” says Bree.
BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA
“Felix Cameron deserves the Best Lead Actor in a Drama Logie for his outstanding performance in Boy Swallows Universe. At just 14, his portrayal of such a complex character demonstrated remarkable maturity, showcasing a talent far beyond his years. His genuine emotion in this character, sets him apart as a truly exceptional young actor,” says Mia.
BEST LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA
“Phoebe Tonkin deserves a Logie for her outstanding performance in Boy Swallows Universe. There is no role that she can’t play. She is a true Aussie icon and played the character Frances Bell perfectly,” says Lainey.
BEST DRAMA PROGRAM
“NCIS Sydney deserves the Best Drama Program Logie for its successful adaptation of the iconic US series with distinct Australian characteristics. It was nice to sit at home watching such a well known show brought to life in our own city. Seeing the iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House in NCIS was surreal,” says Bree.
BEST LIFESTYLE PROGRAM
“Travel Guides deserves Best Lifestyle Program. It’s unique take on travel with relatable everyday Aussies as critics made it such a fun watch. It keeps us entertained AND informed about amazing places across many destinations, making it a hit at our house,” says Mia.
BEST ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM
“Australian Idol deserves the Best Entertainment Program Logie for showcasing Aussie talent and turning me into a pop star in my own lounge room. Not many shows get me singing but this one does every single time. The fun judges and talented singers make it a standout show, celebrating local talent with super great energy,” says Lainey.
FAVOURITE SHOW NOT NOMINATED
“I would have loved to see Colin From Accounts nominated. It is a true blue Aussie show that has me laughing in my room every night. I personally think that the dog’s performance is a true 10/10 that deserves a lot more recognition,” says Mia.
FAVOURITE TALENT NOT ON THE SHORTLIST
“I would have loved to see Jonathan LaPaglia, the host of Australian Survivor, nominated for most popular presenter. His enthusiasm and super fun energy make the show incredibly enjoyable and engaging. My family is OBSESSED with Australian Survivor and Jonathan definitely plays a part in the reason why,” says Lainey.
