The 2024 TV Week Logie Awards were held last night The Star Casino Sydney, and it was an evening full of memorable moments and historic wins and has to be one of the best award shows done of late. The hot favourite for Gold was to be Larry Emdur who took home the Gold Logie, his first-ever win in this category. He also won the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, marking a significant night in his career. On the show today he expressed how meaningful it was to get Silver as he got best wishes from Patti Newton last week on it and he grew up with Bert as his idol.
Also on today’s show he went through with the pledge of getting tattooed on his bum all the names of other contenders.
Felix Cameron, the young star of Boy Swallows Universe, made history by winning two awards, including the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent. His emotional acceptance speech, where he thanked his family and drama teacher, was a highlight of the evening. The tears each time made the room just love him more.The Boy Swallows Universe, also won Best Miniseries or Telemovie. Trent Dolton gave an amazing speech that raised the room to all degrees as to his gratitude and love to all his family but gave a beautiful message as to dark and light to all the mums.
The night also featured a touching tribute to John Farnham, with performances by Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy, who delivered renditions of Farnham’s iconic songs “Burn For You” and “You’re the Voice.” Farnham’s sons accepted the award for Best Factual or Documentary Program for John Farnham: Finding the Voice.
Other notable winners included Rebecca Gibney, who was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame, Her son just melted the room with his speach and love of his mum.
