'Happy Gilmore 2' Featured a Special Cameron Boyce Cameo You May Have Missed
In a scene early in the Netflix sequel, Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore character is seen at a check-in booth at a golf course. In the booth, two workers are watching an old episode of the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie, which starred late actor Cameron Boyce as Luke Ross. Boyce's face can be seen briefly on a small TV screen in the lower right corner of the Happy Gilmore 2 scene.
Sandler played Boyce's father, Lenny Feder, in the 2010 comedy film Grown Ups and in the 2103 sequel Grown Ups 2. Sandler also made a guest appearance on Boyce's show Jessie in 2013.
Boyce died suddenly in July 2019 after suffering an epileptic seizure at age 20.
During a 2020 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sandler remembered Boyce as a 'great kid' and a wonderful actor.
'He was a little kid in Grown Ups,' Sandler said. 'I watched him become a superstar. My kids worshiped him. He came to my daughter's bat mitzvah. He came and literally signed, there were 400 kids there, and he signed all the kids autographs. He would always have these charity things going on. He would bug me, for charity stuff. Never cared about anything else. Just a nice, solid, talented kid.'
Six years after Boyce's death, eagle-eyed fans who noticed the subtle Happy Gilmore 2 tribute took to social media to praise Sandler for including the beloved actor in the scene.
'Adam Sandler honoring Cameron Boyce in Happy Gilmore 2 melts my heart,' one fan wrote on X.
'The subtle nod to Cameron Boyce in Happy Gilmore 2 got me in my feelings- rip Cameron. Adam Sandler is a real one,' another wrote.
In addition to the special nod to Boyce, Happy Gilmore 2 featured cameos by Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Eminem, Post Malone, Guy Fieri, and even Jeopardy host Ken Jennings.'Happy Gilmore 2' Featured a Special Cameron Boyce Cameo You May Have Missed first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 27, 2025

Logies 2025 live: 14-year first for Gold Logie award as women dominate, nominee's fitting dress choice
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards have arrived, with some of Australia's most popular television personalities set to walk the red carpet at The Star Sydney later today. All eyes will be on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. Favourite Lynne McGranger may be anticipating victory with her dress choice this evening, wearing a golden gown to the Logies. There's plenty more to get excited about as we prepare for a big night of awards and we'll be bringing you all you need to know about TV's night of nights with our live coverage right here, including exclusive insights from the biggest names in broadcasting. Comedian Sam Pang will return as host for the third consecutive year, while rock legend Jimmy Barnes, singer-songwriter Richard Marx and Guy Sebastian are all performing tonight. There's also a new award on offer tonight – the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Channel 7's red carpet coverage, hosted by Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown, will air at 7pm (AEST), followed by the live awards ceremony at 7.30pm. On the red carpet for Yahoo tonight will be Senior Entertainment Reporter Lachlan Guertin and Senior Video Producer Caitie Browne and they'll be bringing you exclusive insights throughout. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. 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 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. Going for gold... in gold Well, well, well. Is this Lynne McGranger anticipating a Gold Logie win tonight? The favourite for the award has donned a stunning golden dress for the evening. Make of it what you will. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lynne McGranger (@lynnemcgranger) 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. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Morris (@ladyjuliamorris) 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. Gold Logie nominee: Sonia Kruger Sonia Kruger is one of only two Gold Logie nominees this year who have already won the award, having taken home the trophy in 2023. This year, she's nominated for her hosting roles on The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, and last year's Logies red carpet coverage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by soniakruger (@soniakruger) Gold Logie nominee: Lisa Millar ABC star Lisa Millar is the only Gold Logie nominee this year who has never previously been nominated in any category at the awards show. The veteran journalist is nominated for her work on Back Roads, Muster Dogs, and News Breakfast, which she left in August 2024. 'I cannot believe that this kid who had a big dream to make it in this industry is now being nominated for the Gold Logie, the biggest award of them all,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 'I don't go to the Logies very often, I've only been to the Logies three times in my life, and last year was one of them. If you had told me, 'Hey, next year you're going to be at the Logies and you're going to be a Gold Logie nominee', I would've laughed at you.' Gold Logie nominee: Ally Langdon In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. After taking home the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year, the A Current Affair admitted to Yahoo Lifestyle she wasn't quite sure how to campaign for her first-ever Gold Logie nomination. 'My approach last year with the Silver was I just ignored it, and like if you looked on my socials, you wouldn't have even known. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this. It's not sort of 'Ally for the Gold', it's 'ACA for the Gold', and I just happen to sit in the chair.' Can I still vote for the Logies? There's still time to get your vote in for the 2025 Logies. The Most Popular Presenter, Most Popular New Talent, and Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter categories will close at 7.30pm (AEST) tonight, and the Gold Logie votes will stay open until 10.30pm. What happened at the Logies last year? There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken. Relive other moments from the night via our 2024 Logies live blog here. Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Poh Ling Yeow (@pohlingyeow) Julia Morris' swipe after 14-year first for Gold Logie Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time. You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something."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.

The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken.

Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women.

YAHOO POLL: Has Fantastic Four revived the MCU for you?
The Fantastic Four: The First Steps had its world premiere on Monday (21 July) night and the first reactions to the film were generally positive. The film was under immense pressure and expectations, no doubt due to its troubled cinematic history. Its first iteration under 20th Century Fox in 2005 was a flop. A reboot in 2015, also under 20th Century Fox, reimagined Marvel's First Family as a dark, gritty comic book film but it didn't fare better either. Other polls YAHOO POLL: Will you take Wegovy to lose weight? YAHOO POLL: Is the key to a good life in Singapore emotional and mental well-being? YAHOO POLL: Should Astronomer CEO Andy Byron have resigned? However, Marvel can finally breathe a sigh of relief as, despite a steep drop at the box office in its second weekend, the film is sitting well with critics. If anything, the fact that it retained the top position in the second weekend is a testament to the strength of the film. Fantastic Four has garnered an 86 per cent rating with critics and a 92 per cent rating with audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. If it matters, Fantastic Four scored higher than James Gunn's Superman – which was released earlier in July. So, we want to hear from you – Has Fantastic Four revived the MCU for you?

Logies 2025 live: 14-year first for Gold Logie award as women dominate, stars get ready for the red carpet
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards have arrived, with some of Australia's most popular television personalities set to walk the red carpet at The Star Sydney later today. All eyes will be on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. There's plenty more to get excited about as we prepare for a big night of awards and we'll be bringing you all you need to know about TV's night of nights with our live coverage right here, including exclusive insights from the biggest names in broadcasting. Comedian Sam Pang will return as host for the third consecutive year, while rock legend Jimmy Barnes, singer-songwriter Richard Marx and Guy Sebastian are all performing tonight. There's also a new award on offer tonight – the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Channel 7's red carpet coverage, hosted by Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown, will air at 7pm (AEST), followed by the live awards ceremony at 7.30pm. On the red carpet for Yahoo tonight will be Senior Entertainment Reporter Lachlan Guertin and Senior Video Producer Caitie Browne and they'll be bringing you exclusive insights throughout. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. 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. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Morris (@ladyjuliamorris) 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. Gold Logie nominee: Sonia Kruger Sonia Kruger is one of only two Gold Logie nominees this year who have already won the award, having taken home the trophy in 2023. This year, she's nominated for her hosting roles on The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, and last year's Logies red carpet coverage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by soniakruger (@soniakruger) Gold Logie nominee: Lisa Millar ABC star Lisa Millar is the only Gold Logie nominee this year who has never previously been nominated in any category at the awards show. The veteran journalist is nominated for her work on Back Roads, Muster Dogs, and News Breakfast, which she left in August 2024. 'I cannot believe that this kid who had a big dream to make it in this industry is now being nominated for the Gold Logie, the biggest award of them all,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 'I don't go to the Logies very often, I've only been to the Logies three times in my life, and last year was one of them. If you had told me, 'Hey, next year you're going to be at the Logies and you're going to be a Gold Logie nominee', I would've laughed at you.' Gold Logie nominee: Ally Langdon In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. After taking home the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year, the A Current Affair admitted to Yahoo Lifestyle she wasn't quite sure how to campaign for her first-ever Gold Logie nomination. 'My approach last year with the Silver was I just ignored it, and like if you looked on my socials, you wouldn't have even known. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this.

So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something." Gold Logie nominee: Julia Morris This year marks the fourth time Julia Morris has been nominated for the Gold Logie, making her one of the most nominated TV personalities to have never won. While she was up for the award alongside her I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host Robert Irwin last year, she's riding solo this time around. Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.' Gold Logie nominee: Lynne McGranger Lynne McGranger is a first-time Gold Logie nominee this year and is also up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The Home and Away veteran, who recently quit the soap opera after 33 years playing Irene Roberts, was previously nominated for the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2023, but lost out to Fisk's Kitty Flanagan. 'It's extraordinary. My worlds are colliding with Irene's storyline winding up, doing The Grandparents Club, touring that nationally, and then the Gold Logie. Worlds have collided, so I'm just hanging on like grim death at the moment,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle last week. 'What I'm most proud of is that a woman my age can be nominated for her first Gold Logie ever, and win, lose, or draw, I feel like it's a win. It's a win for women everywhere, and women of any age need never feel invisible again.' Who is nominated for the Gold Logie? This year marks the first time in the award show's history that there's been this many women nominated for the Gold Logie, scoring six out of the seven nominations. TV presenters Ally Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow, Sonia Kruger, and Home and Away actress Lynne McGranger are all up for the top award alongside Lego Masters host Hamish Blake, the sole male nominee. We'll take you through these in more detail food is served at the Logies? While we know there's plenty of drinks had at the Logies, what is the food like?

But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this. It's not sort of 'Ally for the Gold', it's 'ACA for the Gold', and I just happen to sit in the chair.' In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter.

What happened at the Logies last year? There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken.

Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.'

You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something." Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time.

Gold Logie nominee: Julia Morris This year marks the fourth time Julia Morris has been nominated for the Gold Logie, making her one of the most nominated TV personalities to have never won. While she was up for the award alongside her I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host Robert Irwin last year, she's riding solo this time around. Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.'

Gold Logie nominee: Lynne McGranger Lynne McGranger is a first-time Gold Logie nominee this year and is also up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The Home and Away veteran, who recently quit the soap opera after 33 years playing Irene Roberts, was previously nominated for the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2023, but lost out to Fisk's Kitty Flanagan. 'It's extraordinary. My worlds are colliding with Irene's storyline winding up, doing The Grandparents Club, touring that nationally, and then the Gold Logie. Worlds have collided, so I'm just hanging on like grim death at the moment,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle last week. 'What I'm most proud of is that a woman my age can be nominated for her first Gold Logie ever, and win, lose, or draw, I feel like it's a win. It's a win for women everywhere, and women of any age need never feel invisible again.' Lynne McGranger is a first-time Gold Logie nominee this year and is also up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama.
