Australian TV's Night of Nights


It was a night I was looking forward to for such a long time- the 54th Annual Logie Awards. There was the typical line up of famous TV personalities walking the red carpet and wanting their pictures taken with their acceptance speeches close by. There was no host as each category was announced by pairings of even more famous TV people.

The night did not go without a controversy however. The gold logie winner had already been leaked online 45 minutes before it was announced but it didnt faze winner Hamish Blake. It was due to a Herald Sun article published online just after 10pm before being pulled from the website, but it wasn’t enough to stop it spreading like wildfire through Twitter. The Herald Sun said, "The error occurred during live testing of the Herald Sun's new iPad application which is due for release in coming weeks". Teething problems are always a good excuse. Hamish and Andy's show Gap Year gained success last year and this year the team are going to start shooting soon Euro Gap Year ( I guess the title explains it all).


The best moment for me was when Adam Hills impersonated an Angelina Jolie oscars moment when he kicked off the show.The pshyco young girls and other fans of the teen group of the moment 'One Direction' also made up audience numbers as even the stars boogied away to the song they sang at the end. The logies are not really the most amazing awards out there but they are always entertaining nonetheless.
