Well that’s another TV WEEK Logie Awards done and dusted!
While last year’s event featured some memorable moments – from Grant Denyer taking out the Gold Logie shortly after his show Family Feud was axed, to Ray Meagher’s touching tribute to his late Home and Away co-star Cornelia Frances – this year’s 61st TV WEEK Logies were memorable in their own right.
Funny man Tom Gleeson’s relentless campaigning for the Gold Logie win ultimately paid off with the Hard Quiz host taking home the top prize.
Meanwhile, breakout star Costa Georgiadis surprised many with his Most Popular Presenter win and returned to the stage again when his show Gardening Australia took the prize for Most Popular Lifestyle Program.
The show also featured moments that made us laugh and cry, from Kerry O’Brien’s moving speech as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, to Julia Morris’ surprise Costa-esque beard!
