Let the Logies begin

Here’s the latest from Heidi Sheehan who’s reporting on the ground for us tonight:

The Logies red carpet is officially underway!

I’m Heidi Sheehan – I’m reporting for the ABC from the red carpet at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, for the first time the Logie Awards have been held since 2019.

The Silver Logie renamed in Bert Newton’s honour

The Silver Logie for most popular presenter has been renamed the Bert Newton Award to honour the Logies Hall of Fame inductee. Bert passed away last October but won four Gold Logie awards and hosted the ceremony 20 times. His wife Patti will hand out the award.

There has also been a brand new award introduced this year, that’s a Silver Logie for most popular Australian actor or actress in an international program.

Nominees include Jackie Weaver for her work in Yellowstone and Murray Bartlett for his role in The White Lotus.
