Logies

Streaming platform dramas acknowledged, but still largely a FTA TV celebration.

Sonia Kruger will join the TV elite if she scores back-to-back Gold Logie wins

If Sonia Kruger can win Gold again this year she joins a select band of people to win multiple times. Kruger has been nominated for three successive years with one Gold win in 2023. She has a long way to go to topple the most successful Gold-rushes. That belongs to Ray Martin with five Gold Logies including four successive wins from 1993 to 1996. 

Lisa McCune also has a place in the TV Week Logie history book with four successive wins from 1997 to 2000. Not far behind her is Rove McManus with three wins in a row from 2003 to 2005. Worth noting that he was also nominated for Gold another six times!

Julia Morris has been nominated for Gold in a third successive year. Asher Keddie is a former Gold winner in 2013. She is well-schooled about being gracious in defeat with five nominations and a first past the post once.

TV Week editorial director Amber Giles said: “As always, this is an exciting list of nominees for the TV Week Logie Awards with some of Australia’s best talent and shows up for awards. With the nominations announced, it’s now over to the public to have their say. The public can vote on more categories than ever before, so if you are passionate about TV and want to see your favourite stars and shows shine, then get voting!”

ABC gets Gold for nominations

When it comes to finding a champion in the TV Week Gold Logie nominations you can’t go past the ABC. The broadcaster was far and away well ahead of Seven and Nine in second and third spot.

Streaming platforms make a mark

The TV Week Logie Awards remain a mainly celebration of FTA television. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Out of around 137 nominations announced this week, 101 of them are for FTA TV people and productions.

But streaming platforms are making a mark. Of the 36 nominations for streaming platforms, Netflix had the most with nine. Prime Video was close behind on 8 with Stan on 7.
If we group together all the brands under the Foxtel Group, you come to 8. That’s a long way from its glory day with 19 nominations in 2016, 20 in 2019 and 23 just last year. They might need another Wentworth? The prison drama managed seven Logies across the seasons from an impressive 27 nominations.

The hottest TV show on a streaming service was Netflix’s Boy Swallow’s Universe with a impressive eight nominations.
