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.
Osher is such an underrated person. His podcast is always insightful and his book was a fantastic read.A picture of Osher ... who I fondly remember as Andrew G on the Channel Orange music TV channel back in the '90s!
An interesting fact: He wears a hearing aid! Which is just amazing because he's proof that having hearing issues doesn't need to hold anyone back (I wear two, and as someone who didn't lose their hearing until their 40s, I find them hugely problematic so it's a helpful reminder to me when I see people like Osher out and about coping just fine!).

Why did the audience not want Guy Pearce to win? I didn’t see that part.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.
I cannot believe this is the same person who was on Heartbreak High 100 years ago when I was still in high school. She is fireps did you see how fab Doris looks tonight!

Love her but don't love this. Bit slutty Mother of the Bride for me.
I'm going to have to be careful not to reuse my commentary tonight on Fashion Critical's Logies album tomorrow lest I out myself publicly lol
Her hair and makeup wasAbbie's dress on its own is ok - but the god-awful shawl thing is way too much
Really?! Osher is full of surprises!
It's a big call, but I'm going to make it: he's a national treasure.
I'll queue him up this week!Have a listen to his podcast Better than yesterday. He goes into it. The hearing aids are from working at concerts for years without proper hearing protection.
