How 'little trophy' changed Grant Denyer's life
Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet.
He spoke with Grant Denyer earlier, and he revealed how life-changing winning a Gold Logie was for him.
'You know what it did for me? I spent my entire life feeling inferior, like I'm not worthy, like I'm unlovable, like I don't deserve this," he said.
"And then weirdly, it was like this incredible experience where I was kind of like, hey man, you are enough.
"And then I just calmed the hell down and settled and was the happiest I've ever been. Who would've thought a little trophy would do that? How magical! It psychologically changed me into a new person, weird.'
Denyer won the 2018 Gold Logie for his work hosting Family Feud. He was previously nominated in 2016 and 2017.
Remarkable story behind Alone star's dress
Let's just take a moment to appreciate Corinne Ooms' dress. Ooms, who was the last woman standing on SBS's survival show Alone, has reused plenty of her mementos from the show to create her outfit.
The dress is made from the tarp she slept under for 70 days, while her bag is made from wallaby hide from the exact wallaby she famously caught on the show.
The dress took more than 20 hours to make.
More of the best red carpet looks
OK, we've had a fair few people pass along the red carpet, so let's bring you some more photos now.
Let's take a closer look at Lynne McGranger, who has fittingly worn a gold dress as the favourite to take the night's biggest award.
Fellow nominee for the Gold Logie Lisa Millar has dazzled in purple (our favourite colour), while Sonia Kruger looks stunning as ever in her tight-fitting number.
And there was plenty of shimmer from sports presenter Jelena Dokic.
Colourful Costa strikes again
Gardening icon Costa Georgiadis is known for bringing a bit of colour to the red carpet and this year is no different.
He's once again styled his outfit with an array of flowers, this time throughout his hair.
Georgiadis has previously spoken about his choice to wear thrifted clothing on awards nights to promote sustainability.
Home and Away stars one year on after launching relationship
The 2024 Logies was their first red carpet outing as a couple as they launched their relationship.
And 12 months on, Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart look as in love as they did this time last year.
The man who doesn't want your vote arrives
Here he is. The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake.
And while he could make it a hat-trick of Gold Logie wins tonight, he's joked he doesn't want you to vote for him.
" Hi Hamish Blake here, and as you know I'm the only guy in the running and therefore it would not be a great look if I won," he told fans in a message shared to Nine shortly after the nominations were revealed.
"So just organise, figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her."
It's the first time women have outweighed male nominees in the top award since 2011.
Blake, who is also up for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, previously won the Gold Logie in 2012 and 2022.
Guests arrive on the red carpet
The guests are arriving thick and fast now so we'll bring you a host of outfits for the evening.
We have former Wiggle Emma Watkins, 10 NEWS+ duo Amelia Brace and Denham Hitchcock, TV personality Sophie Monk, Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne and presenter Melissa King.
Poh Ling Yeow and Julia Morris show off red carpet dresses
OK then, the stars are now arriving on the red carpet so let's bring you some more looks. We had a sneak peek of Julia Morris' dress earlier and here it is in full.
And she's posing alongside fellow Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow who looks stunning in a green and beige number.
Logies moments to remember
While the stars hope it will all be plain sailing on the night, we've learnt over the years that's never the case.
Whether it be slip-ups, drunken antics or a joke too far, the Logies delivers plenty of shocks, even from those you least expect.
One moment that came to light years after it happened was Tracy Grimshaw's embarrassing hotel mix-up.
"I locked myself out of my hotel room starkers. It was 3:45am and there was no one in the hallway," the revered host revealed to Kyle and Jackie O about her Logies night in 1998.
Grimshaw, in a presumably drunken state after drinking tequilas with James Packer into the early hours of the morning, thought she was heading to the bathroom when she opened the door into the hallway.
"I realised that the guest opposite [my hotel room] had The Australian delivered. Thank god it was a broadsheet and not the Herald Sun!" she joked.
Read more of the Logies' most controversial moments, including several from Karl Stefanovic, here.
Wild weather not dampening spirits
Our team is all set on the red carpet for this year's Logies and will be bringing you exclusive moments throughout the evening.
Lachlan has opted for a warm turtle neck on what is a pretty miserable afternoon in Sydney with plenty of wind and rain. However the conditions are not impacting proceedings too much, thankfully.
What food is served at the Logies?
While we know there's plenty of drinks had at the Logies, what is the food like? Well according to Travel Guides stars Karly Fisher and Bri Auty, it certainly matches the occasion.
The pair, who are hoping their show wins Best Lifestyle Program for the fourth year in a row, revealed to Yahoo what was on the menu last year.
"I had gold-encrusted lamb. [Bri] had fish, which then I think I ate as well,' Karly recalls. 'And then there was dessert. I've actually got a video of me eating them all. I did a kind of mukbang on my phone, eating all these desserts. They were stunning.
'There was a lava cake, but not a Domino's lava cake. It was like a proper, bougie lava cake. I will say the food was what I was probably most looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. It was so yummy.'
Julia Morris practices Gold Logie victory kiss
Gold Logie nominee Julia Morris has given us a glimpse of her dress for the night and has practised kissing the Gold Logie award in the process.
Morris has been pretty active on her socials, and yesterday also revealed a late-night manicure in her preparations for the big day. And while taking to your feet with an electric file after a cocktail isn't recommended, Morris later revealed it was all a success.
Take a look at her outfit for the night below.

Who has the most Logies nominations?
The ABC has again dominated this year's Logies when it comes to nominations. The public broadcaster has a total of 44 nominations. Commercial network Nine is the closet competition with 23 (up to 32 if you include streaming platform Stan which it owns).
Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar about wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson has an impressive eight nominations, although they are spread across just four awards.
The streaming giant's Territory isn't far behind with seven nominations tonight.
The ABC's Fisk has five, while Binge's Colin From Accounts and the ABC's Return To Paradise have four each. Netflix's Heartbreak High has three.
Who is the favourite to win the Gold Logie?
If you voted in our poll shared earlier, you would have seen Lynne McGranger is the clear favourite to win the Gold Logie tonight among Yahoo readers, with 37 per cent of your believing she'll take the top award.
Nineteen per cent of you think Ally Langdon will win it, while 17 per cent say Poh Ling Yeow.
And that's the way the bookmakers are going, with Sportsbet paying $1.37 for a McGranger win.
They have Langdon at $5 and Hamish Blake at $8.50. Poh Ling Yeow is further back at $13.00
What time do stars start their day for the Logies?
While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy.
And while some celebs' days will be busier than others, Gold Logie nominee Lynne McGranger has offered an insight into how gruelling Sunday can be.
"I think I've got to do some early morning television… I'll probably do hair and makeup, and then I'll probably have a couple of hours off," she told Yahoo Lifestyle.
"I'll be in makeup again I think at around lunchtime for the Logies, and then I have to be ready to go at 2.30pm – what sort of a ridiculous hour is that?"
"But because I'm presenting, I've got to stay nice. I can't be necking the champagne, otherwise I'll get on stage and I'll be dribbling. So I just have to pace myself and be sensible for once in my life."
Sam Pang reveals this year's Logies jokes already had a run
Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies.
The comedian has been a huge hit in the top gig thanks to his brutal yet hilarious approach, with no-one across Australian TV safe when it comes to his jokes.
But there's plenty of work that goes into his presenting, with Pang telling Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast he scripted this year's jokes and trialled them at a small comedy club in Melbourne.
"I got up for twenty minutes and trialled some stuff," he said, saying some material was cut based on the reaction of the audience.
'The only thing you don't want to do is get up there on Sunday night and say a joke and at the end of it they didn't even know it was a joke."
Last year Pang took aim at Channel Seven's internal issues despite the network broadcasting the awards.
Who do you think will win the Gold Logie?
Right. Now we've run you through the Gold Logie nominees, who do you think will win it?
Have your say in our poll below.
Gold Logie nominee: Hamish Blake
Rounding out this year's Gold Logie nominees is Hamish Blake, who has openly discouraged viewers from voting for him as the only man in the group.
The comedian and radio host is nominated for Lego Masters, and previously won in both 2012 and 2022. 2025 marks his sixth nomination.
How many Logies awards are there?
We have a new award tonight in the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, with a total of 23 awards up for grabs tonight.
With so many awards, tonight's proceedings could easily stretch well beyond the scheduled time, as it has done in the past.
Last year, the Gold Logie was only handed out close to midnight. So buckle in for a long night.Well, well, well. Is this Lynne McGranger anticipating a Gold Logie win tonight?

Toronto film festival's TV lineup adds Jude Law, Ethan Hawke, Toni Collette shows

TORONTO — Big-screen heavyweights are all over the small-screen lineup at the Toronto International Film Festival, which will preview new shows from Jude Law, Jason Bateman, Toni Collette, Ethan Hawke and Mae Martin. Festival organizers say its Primetime slate will open with Hulu's 'The Lowdown' from 'Reservation Dogs' co-creator, writer and director Sterlin Harjo. It stars Hawke as a Tulsa citizen journalist obsessed with exposing corruption. Meanwhile, Netflix hits the fest with two limited series: 'Black Rabbit,' starring Law and Bateman as brothers who run a Manhattan restaurant and VIP lounge; and the Canadian drama 'Wayward,' about a school for troubled teens starring Martin and Collette, Ryan Scott and Sarah Gadon. The lineup hints at the star wattage bound TIFF's 50th edition Sept. 4 to 14, since organizers say all Primetime screenings will include an extended Q+A with creators and cast. TIFF also announced 48 films in its Short Cuts program, and introduced a new award for best animated short, joining the fest's two prizes for international and Canadian shorts. The 48 shorts include the world premieres of 'Dust to Dreams' directed by actor Idris Elba and starring singer Seal; and 'The Contestant,' starring David Hasselhoff, from duo Patrick Xavier Bresnan and Ivete Lucas. North American premieres include Joecar Hanna's 'Talk Me," executive produced by Spike Lee, and 'The Non-Actor' starring Maya Hawke and Victoria Pedretti. The 20 Canadian titles include 'The Girl Who Cried Pearls' from Oscar-nominated animators Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski and the satire 'Bots' from 'Scarborough' directors Rich Williamson and Shasha Nakhai. Kelly Fyffe-Marshall of the TIFF '22 feature 'When Morning Comes' joins the shorts lineup with 'Demons' while Chelsea McMullan of the TIFF '23 ballet doc 'Swan Song' returns with 'Healer.'

‘Wednesday' Season 2, Part 1 Twist Ending Explained—Who's The Avian Killer?

Wednesday. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in episode 202 of Wednesday. JONATHAN HESSION/NETFLIX Warning: Spoilers ahead for Wednesday Season 2, Part 1. Wednesday is willingly back for another year at Nevermore Academy. Within days of her arrival, she's being stalked, has stumbled upon two crime scenes, visited Tyler (the Hyde and her Season 1 love interest) and is trying to find out who's controlling the murderous crows that might be after her best friend, Enid. She's also unexpectedly lost her psychic abilities and is experiencing psychic exhaustion, causing her to cry tears of blood, something her mother says happens when you abuse your powers. When Wednesday asks how to make the tears stop, Morticia forces her to give up Goody's book of spells. After all, she doesn't want Wednesday to end up like her Aunt Ophelia. Forbes Everything To Know About 'Wednesday' Season 2 Part 1—Coming To Netflix This Week By Monica Mercuri But Wednesday is desperate to get her psychic powers back — especially since her last vision predicted Enid's impending death — and it was all her fault. Now, she must find the killer before they get to Enid. The person she's looking for is likely an Avian, which is someone with the ability to control birds, including the crows that killed Tyler's dad, Donovan Galpin, and private investigator, Carl Bradbury. In Episode 3, Wednesday uncovers her first major clue: a voicemail from Bradbury to Galpin, warning that if anything happens to him, the evidence is safe in the 'bullpen.' A postcard in a box of Galpin's belongings reveals that the bullpen is actually located in Pine Crest, near Camp Jericho, where the students of Nevermore are headed for camp. This gives Wednesday an easy way to get there by pretending to go, too. Wednesday finds Galpin's cabin, where she discovers newspaper clippings of obituaries for outcasts who were all patients at Willow Hill. One name is written in red: Lois. Could she be the one targeting and killing outcasts? As the one-eyed crow watches her every move, the episode ends with the arrival of a familiar face at Willow Hill: Marilyn Thornhill (a.k.a. Laurel Gates). Wednesday. Joanna Lumley as Grandmama in episode 204 of Wednesday. Cr. Owen Behan/Netflix © 2025 OWEN BEHAN/NETFLIX Episode 4 begins at Willow Hill Asylum where Dr. Fairburn asks Thornhill to help them break through to Tyler and assist with his rehabilitation. She agrees but only if she can see him. When she reaches for him through the bars he transforms into his Hyde form and grabs her by the neck, choking her. He releases his grip only after she promises to get him out of there. Viewers also finally meet Grandmama Hester Frump, who arrives to help Wednesday at the cemetery where the outcasts from the obituaries found in Galpin's cabin were allegedly laid to rest. After they open one of the urns and discover it was filled with animal remains, a crow swoops in and flies off with Wednesday's evidence. She chases after the crow, which takes off beside the mysterious Avian, who escapes on a motorcycle. By mid-episode, questions still remain about who faked the patients' deaths, who Lois is and how everything connects to Enid's impending death. All signs point to Willow Hill, so Wednesday calls in a favor from Uncle Fester to dig up information on Lois. He tells her that the last time he was asked to go to the asylum was by her mother, who wanted him to check on their sister, Ophelia. Wednesday. (L to R) Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in episode 204 of Wednesday. OWEN BEHAN/NETFLIX Morticia tells Wednesday that her sister, Aunt Ophelia, possessed the same psychic abilities as she does. However, during her sophomore year at Nevermore Academy, Ophelia was found screaming in the quad with black tears running down her cheeks. She had pushed her psychic abilities too far and was sent away to Willow Hill at the hands of Grandmama. Morticia says she pleaded with her mother, believing things would only get worse for Ophelia at Willow Hill. Later, we learn that Ophelia has been missing for the past twenty years. Wednesday. Phil Philmar as Gus Stonehurst in episode 204 of Wednesday. COURTESY OF NETFLIX Grandmama tells Wednesday that Augustus 'Gus' Stonehurst was the one who signed the outcasts' death certificates. Stonehurst used to be the Normie head doctor at Willow Hill, but before that, he taught science at Nevermore Academy. Professor Orloff tells Wednesday that Gus was very popular, though Orloff was never a fan because he was a Normie. Gus's wife died before he came to Nevermore, but he had a young daughter and even built her an aviary in Iago Tower. As for his current whereabouts, Stonehurst is now committed at Willow Hill after suffering a psychotic break. After Fester is caught helping Wednesday at Willow Hill, she teams up with Enid and her stalker-turned-assistant, Agnes, to break him out and track down Lois. She sneaks into the asylum and enlists help from Fester's cafeteria worker and lady friend, Louise. Wednesday manages to free Fester, but a zombie escapes in the process, distracting the guards assigned to Thornhill and allowing her to slip away. Thornhill runs off, passing Wednesday on her way out. Wednesday. (L to R) Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in episode 204 of Wednesday. HELEN SLOAN/NETFLIX The zombie on the loose at Willow Hill marks the beginning of the asylum's problems. Fester and Wednesday use the chaos as a distraction to reach the maintenance door where Gus said Lois was being kept. Fester remembers the numerical code that Gus's parrot gave him to get inside. It turns out that "Lois" is not a person, but the name of a secret program conducted at Willow Hill: the Long-term Outcast Integration Study (LOIS). When Wednesday looks into the individual cells, she sees the outcasts whose obituaries she found earlier at the cabin. Their deaths were faked so that they could continue being used for experiments. Wednesday. Heather Matarazzo as Judi Spannegel in episode 202 of Wednesday. COURTESY OF NETFLIX While Fester and Wednesday put the pieces together between the obituaries and the outcasts, the cloaked Avian finally reveals themselves. It's Judi, the executive assistant at the Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility and Augustus's daughter. She says that Dr. Fairburn works for her and that she recruited her to be the public face of the institution. Judi's father, Augustus, founded the program in order to harness outcast powers and become one himself. He wanted to become a Da Vinci — an outcast with telekinetic ability — but his body couldn't handle it. Instead, Judi became a testament to his work, and Augustus was able to turn his daughter to an Avian. Uncle Fester cuts the power to the entire facility, releasing all the experimented-on outcasts and Willow Hill patients, who then attack Judi. Meanwhile, Wednesday saves a woman being held in the Lois program. Could she be Wednesday's Aunt Ophelia? The asylum is now in shambles, with Thornhill and all the patients having escaped. Thornhill makes her way to Tyler's cell and sets him free. "I told you Mama would get you out of here," she tells him. But that proves to be a deadly mistake. He is still very angry at his former master, blaming her for being the reason he was locked away. 'You're not my mother, you're my master. Or should I say, you were …' Tyler whispers to Thornhill, before giving her a chilling five-second heart start to run. He quickly catches up and strikes her with his claws. But what will happen to Tyler now that he's escaped Willow Hill? As Thornhill said earlier in the episode, 'If a Hyde murders their master, they seal their own doom.' Wednesday. Owen Painter as Slurp in episode 203 of Wednesday. COURTESY OF NETFLIX Slurp, the zombie Pugsley revived earlier in the season, also manages to break free and storms into the office where Dr. Fairburn and Augustus are hiding. He eats her brain, but before killing Augustus, he mentions that they were old friends. With every brain he consumes, Slurp continues to regenerate, both physically and mentally, so there's still a lot to learn about him in Part 2. 'We've seen Slurp beginning to humanize as he starts to eat brains in the first four episodes,' co-showrunner Miles Millar told Tudum . 'And in the second half of the season, Slurp really comes into his own. We love the idea of seeing this metamorphosis. This seemingly harmless zombie who was Pugsley's wannabe pet, has his own agenda. As he becomes more human, we have a lot of fun with what the audience will think he's up to.' Wednesday. Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin in episode 204 of Wednesday. HELEN SLOAN/NETFLIX Tyler, in his Hyde form, spots Wednesday at the end of the hall with the unknown outcast. Wednesday tells the woman to run before he charges at her at full speed. He violently throws her out the window, and she lands on the concrete below. The police arrive and try to shoot Tyler, but he escapes. In her voiceover at the end of part one, Wednesday says, 'I've always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made everything worse... much worse.' Co-creator Alfred Gough revealed to Tudum that they needed to end part one with a cliffhanger to keep fans hooked for Season 2. 'At the end of Episode 4, Wednesday literally lets the lunatics out of the asylum, and the rest of the season is: Now you have to deal with that… She solved one mystery, and has unleashed a Pandora's box of new problems," he said. Wednesday. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday in episode 202 of Wednesday. JONATHAN HESSION/NETFLIX Netflix released a 40-second clip at the end of Episode 4 hinting at what's next. The teaser reveals that Wednesday isn't dead, but she's stuck in a coma. 'It's the vacation she always dreamed of,' her mom says. Quick flashes in the clip show the upcoming fundraising gala, Slurp the zombie, Tyler, a very scared Enid and more. "Fans have a lot to look forward to in the second half of the season,' Hunter Doohan, who portrays Tyler, told Tudum. Gough added, 'The mysteries of Willow Hill definitely carry over into Part 2.'

Meghan Markle's new As Ever wine fails to sell out after duchess made one big change

Wine about it. Meghan Markle has suffered a blow as her long-awaited As Ever wine restock has failed to sell out.

Three days after its release, the vintage version of her pale pink rosé is still available for purchase on the website, priced at $30 a bottle.

What's more, the new vintage wine has 13.5% alcohol by volume for the 750ml bottle — compared to the 14.5% its previous iteration boasted. 5 The Duchess of Sussex, 44, had a successful first-drop with her debut 2023 Napa Valley Rosé. As Ever 5 However, the vintage 2024 Napa Valley Rosé range still hasn't sold out on the site. As Ever Advertisement Still, both bottles were priced the same. Gushing about the new wine range ahead of its release, the 'Suits' alum last week said the wine is 'delicately balanced, with soft notes of stone fruit, a gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' 'Reminiscent of the finest Provençal styles, this thoughtfully crafted blend is perfect for summer's end,' the company wrote. It comes just days after Markle celebrated her 44th birthday by sharing a video of herself carrying a wicker basket filled with a floral arrangement and bottles of her newly released As Ever rosé line.
