Logies

Audiences love good drama: How Netflix stole the most awards for a single program

The winners of the 64th TV Week Logie Awards have been announced at the awards show again broadcast on Seven this year.

The evening on Seven started with a cross during the 6pm news. In Sydney the Sunday evening bulletin was presented by Angie Asimus. The Logies Red Carpet show started on Seven at 7pm. The Awards proper then started just after 7.30pm.

Sam Pang takes control

After rave reviews for his performance last year, Sam Pang was back on duty hosting the 2024 event.

The TV Week Logie Hall of Fame Award recipient was Rebecca Gibney after the Sunday Herald Sun featured a very good guess about who it might be earlier in the day.

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.

When it comes to winners, ABC and Seven tied on six wins each. Netflix and Boy Swallows Universe won the night though with the Australian original drama winning five Logies.

The cast and crew from Netflix’s Boy Swallows Universe celebrate their Logie wins

Streaming platforms make a mark

The TV Week Logie Awards have been mainly celebration of FTA television. Until last night. Out of around 137 nominations announced this year, 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.

Netflix was the only streamer to win this year – a very impressive five wins from its nine nominations.
If we group together all the nominations under the Foxtel Group, you get 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 which led to five wins.
