It’s that time of year again: the TV Week Logie Awards are officially in precession! And while we don’t know if we’ve fully recovered from watching TV Week favourite Samuel Johnson take out the golden gong last year for his portrayal of music legend Molly Meldrum in Molly, we can’ wait to see what this year’s show will bring.
So, will it be Family Feud frontman Grant Denyer who takes the coveted Gold Logie? Or will The Living Room‘s Amanda Keller pull the trump card ahead of her fellow Gold Logie 2018 nominees?
All will be revealed right here, as it happens. But first, this is what’s going down at the star-studded ceremony of Aussie TV’s night-of-nights…
