Same, Snarky. I had heard from a friend who works in the biz that there was speculation it could be picked up by Paramount, like 5 Bedrooms was, and made into a one-hour show airing weekly for around 15 or so weeks at first - just to test the waters - and with a smaller cast ... but that doesn't appear to have grown legs.

It's sad, because the longer the break, the harder it will be to revive it - people have short memories and perhaps a lot of the characters won't be available if/when it did get picked up again.

There was a lot of chatter about Tangle being picked up for a third series too, but that was so long ago that even the kids have grown up!

oh how fascinating. Although it would be quite a different show in that event I think. But good the consideration was there, I wonder if they could revisit that. Just seemed like Neighbours would be in production and on tv forever. Sort of like the Simpsons will surely be.

Is anyone surprised to see Five Bedrooms wasn't nominated for anything?

I feel like that show has finished now - there's not really any need for another series as everything was tied up so neatly at the end of the last one. I still loved it though, and the acting was incredible.

I wonder how they come up with the nominees - is it a peoples' choice type thing? Because although I do really like Ada and Sophie from H&A, there are better deserving actresses for 'most popular' actress - even on H&A itself ("Mack" for one, who seems very popular).

I didn't see Ronnie and Georgia from The Block Fans vs Faves ... I would've expected them to have been invited given that they have quite a high profile.

Hamish and Andy did a bit with a kid called Oliver who pretended that Karl was getting him to vote thousands of times for him for a gold Logie. H&A pretended that they busted him and Oliver said the votes should be taken away from Karl and given to Sonia instead.

Thank you! I saw that kid but I didn't pay any attention because I was Tattling 😄
 
The Project won its category ... I honestly don't get that show (we have an edition of it here in NZ) ... it's a snoozefest!

We used to have A Current Affair too - it was just the same Aussie content played, with a NZ host announcing it (a bit strange) ... but that got killed off after a few months on air.

It's amazing!!! Watch all of the series together.

I will say - and I'm probably the only person on this planet who thinks this - Steven Peacocke wasn't that great in it. I feel his role would have been better played by a newcomer. I can only ever think of him as "Brax".
 
Surprised Roger Corser didn't win that category

Patti Newton pays tribute to her husband Bert
By Meg Watson

After a joyful and loving video tribute to Bert Newton, his wife and partner of 57 years, Patti Newton, enters the stage to a standing ovation.

“This beautiful man of mine,” she says, gesturing to the screen. “Isn’t he fabulous? What am I going to do without him?”

After his passing in October last year, Patti says it’s all “still very raw” and she wasn’t sure she would be able to speak tonight. But ultimately, she felt compelled to attend the event her husband loved so much.

“He absolutely loved [the Logies]. This was his baby 
 He had this thing where he’d say not everyone lives their dream. But he did. And he loved it.”

Patti also presented the award for most popular presenter, now named in her late husband’s honour, to Hamish Blake: “If I could ask him about this award being named in his honour,” she said, “I’m absolutely certain that he would said ‘What? Not the gold then?’”

The Lego Masters host said he was honoured to take “one step in Bert’s enormous shadow”. The win also seems like a good omen for Blake, who is widely tipped to take the gold as well.

She looks incredible!

I was reading how she and her partner lived in the original Five Bedrooms house in between filming. That must've been nice!

Tony Armstrong gets his first Logie
By Meg Watson

He got it! As expected, Tony Armstrong has taken home the Graham Kennedy Award for most popular new talent.

Armstrong has been a sensation over the past year or so, both on TV and all over the internet. It was only earlier this week that his on-air celebrations of the Socceroos making it through to the world cup went viral – which no doubt helped him with the public voting for this category.

In his speech, Armstrong thanked his mum and everyone who’s taken a chance on him – including the National Indigenous Radio Service, where he got his start calling footy games before becoming an on-air sports broadcaster.

“If I hadn’t started out calling football, I wouldn’t have ended up here at the ABC,” he said.

He also used the moment to send a quick message to Justin Stevens, the ABC’s new director of news: “Contract negotiations, mate,” he said, pointing to the award. “We’re on.”

It was a fun joke. But also
 he’s not wrong. Armstrong is a hugely exciting new talent – which is especially refreshing considering how static and familiar so much of Australian TV can be. He deserves a pay rise, at the very least.

Vibe check: what’s it like in the room at the Logies?
By Karl Quinn

I don’t know how much of this comes across in the telecast, but inside the room you get a real sense of the mood whenever an award is announced or a presenter takes the stage.

If you’ve been watching at home, you may not know, for instance, that the MAFS people have been and gone. At one ad break – which serves as a toilet break for the invited guests – the table of 10 rose as one and headed off. Synchronised bladders? An impromptu key party? The smart money says it’s common practice: the reality peeps are invited to stay until their category has been called, then it’s time to leave while everyone is still on their best behaviour.

The cameras – or rather the microphones – surely did pick up the chilling silence that greeted Tom Gleeson as he took the stage with Sophie Monk to present an award. Lots of people thought his irony-driven win of the gold in 2019 was hilarious, a stroke of performance-art genius. It’s safe to say not many of those people are in the room tonight.

The anger many evidently still feel towards Gleeson whittled away a little by the end of his routine with Monk (who made an excellent sparring partner), but was there a lingering antipathy that spilled over when Guy Pearce was announced as the most popular actor? Certainly there was an audible gasp.

No such downer vibes for Tony Armstrong, Sam Pang – doubling for Kitty Flanagan, and hailed by voiceover man Tony Martin as “Australia’s most popular actress” – or Bruce McAvaney and Patti Newton, both of whom drew standing ovations.

Bruce’s speech did go on a bit, though. For a moment, it looked like he was going to do an entire history of broadcasting.
