Julia Morris' awkward Logies slip-up

JULIA Morris has stolen the show after making an epic blunder while presenting the award for Outstanding Entertainment Program.

After walking on stage alone, she began explaining why she wasn’t given a co-presenter.

“A lot of the boys on my “To Do” list simply weren’t available tonight,” she says.

She riffed for a few minutes about the number of men she approached to present the award with her.

And after getting so overwhelmed by her own joke, she completely forgot to read out the nominees and just announced the winner — The Voice.

After the judges from The Voice took to the stage and accepted the award, Julia realised her big mistake.

“Did I forget to talk about the nominees?” she asked the audience.

“It’s live, don’t tell anyone, we can cut it out later.

“We’re going to talk about the nominees later when I’m in really big trouble.

“It’s just inappropriate to talk about who they are now, isn’t it?”

She then decided it wasn’t too late.

“Let’s pretend it hasn’t happened, ladies and gentlemen, the nominees ... I wish I had my glasses,” she said as she read out the nominees.

“Come on, why did it have to be me, couldn’t it be someone groovy who did that?”

But the stuff-up worked in J-Mo’s favour — with celebs and viewers taking to social media to pat her on the back for the hilarious mishap.

J-Mo went on and listed the other nominees.

“My name’s Andrew G ...” Andy says.

“You changed it ...” Hamish reminds him.

Dr Chris Brown is given the rose.

“Blake you’ll notice you didn’t get a rose — please say your goodbyes and leave James Packer’s mansion,” Hamish says.

“Can I just make out a little bit with you?”

With nominees narrowed down — The Block is finally awarded the Logie.

Backstage, Scotty spoke about last week’s auction on The Block that saw couples pocket record-breaking profits.

“It’s really great to see our kids make some money ... I don’t know how we’re going to top that,” he said.

“We’ve got another building lined up, we start filming again in 10 days time.”

And what can we expect from the new season?

“Same sort of cast, very unique building, a lot of construction, a lot of demolition, a lot of tree planting going on,” he said.

“We’re probably going to do more building and less other stuff like challenges and stuff. We’re going to concentrate on the building because there’s so much building to be done.”

8.41: Miranda Tapsell picks up Most Popular New Talent for Love Child.

She riffed for about five minutes about the number of men she approached to present the award with her.

And after getting so overwhelmed by her own joke, she completely forgot to read out the nominees and just blurted out the winner.

After the judges from The Voice took to the stage and accepted the award, Julia realised her big mistake.

“It’s just inappropriate to talk about who they are now,” she joked.

“Lets pretend it hasn’t happened.”

She then decided to read out the names and roll the nominee footage.

“C’mon why did it have to be me, why couldn’t it be someone groovy,” she said.

But the stuff-up worked in J-Mo’s favour — with celebs and viewers taking to social media to pat her on the back for the hilarious mishap.

Backstage, she spoke about the Logies being her first big night out since giving birth a few weeks ago.

“This is my first time out of the house in the last couple of weeks ... I was pretty daunted about that,” she said.

“It’s been a good year. Lots and lots of highs and this has just topped it off.”

She also dished on the close-knit team on The Project.

“They are some of my closest friends and we’ve had some fun times, we’ve had some sad times, we’ve had everything on that show,” she said.

“Waleed and Pete are such incredible performers, it’s been an easy transition with them ... it’s been really easy.

“Last year I was a juggle having different hosts in the chair. I think we’ve settled into a really amazing team now.”

And when can we expect her back on the panel?

“In June sometime, all things going well. If she (baby Evie) keeps sleeping, I’ll be back there then.”
