Logies 2025 live: Jelena Dokic hailed over 'amazing' speech, Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room'
Jelena Dokic has been hailed for her powerful acceptance speech after the documentary delving into her abuse won the best documentary award.
All eyes are 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.
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.
Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day.
Logies drag on again
Well you think they would have learnt their lesson, wouldn't you?
After 2024's show stretched out to midnight, it seems this year's Logies is going the same way, judging by how quickly the show is ticking over.
And viewers are less than impressed, taking to X to let their thoughts known. Take a look for yourself below.

New award handed out
Five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin was up on stage to hand out the inaugural new award named after him.
And Ally Langdon was the first recipient of the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, calling Martin an "incredible man" and thanked him for guiding so many in the industry.
"I think for a lot of us in this industry you are a big part why we got into it. Thank you so much for just showing and being that guiding light," she said.
Hamish Blake accepts Logie, but he wants this one
Hamish Blake does have his hands on a 2025 Logie, but it's one he did actually want to win.
Lego Masters has won the Best Competition Reality Program award, and he accepted the award as host.
'This one is OK to win,' he said in reference to his 'anti-Gold Logie' campaign where he finds himself up against six women for the top award.
Jelena Dokic hails 'massive' win for survivors
Well it's fair to say Jelena Dokic has moved viewers at home. She gave an emotional acceptance speech after Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story won the Best Factual or Documentary Program.
"I just want to thank you all. We have done a massive thing. This is not about winning. This is about a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health," she said, prompting strong applause from the audience.
The show, which delves into the physical and mental abuse she received at the hands of her father and coach Damir, prompted widespread praise on its release, with Dokic hailed for her courage.
There was an outpouring of love for Dokic online, with sports media identity Ralph Horowitz calling her "the best of Australia".
"A speech as good as her amazing story of resilience and success," he said on X.
Guy Montgomery wins Most Popular New Talent award
Guy Montgomery has won the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent thanks to Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee.
Accepting his award, he was quick to point out where he's from.
"This is really crazy, I am from New Zealand. I know, so I am so sorry to all of your country but suck it, we got one up on you time!"
No surprises in the Children's Program category
Well this isn't a surprise at all really, is it?
Being one of the biggest success stories coming out of Australia in recent years, Bluey has, as expected by many, won Best Children's Program.
Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room'
Hamish Blake has addressed the "elephant in the room", saying he actually "fears" winning the Gold Logie tonight.
The two-time winner said it was pretty obvious the masses didn't want another "middle-aged white guy" winning the top award, saying he felt like the drunk uncle in the room.
It's the first time ever six women are nominated for the award, with Blake the only man.
First Logie goes to...
And we have our first winner.
Seven's The Voice has won the Best Entertainment Program.
Sam Pang embraces controversy in opening speech
Sam Pang has started once again in brutal fashion and it appears he's even managed to reference recently convicted killer Erin Patterson, prompting gasps from the audience.
Offering a suggestion for MAFS' future, he said he thought producers should "cast the mushroom lady as the caterer".
And looking for Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow, he took a swipe at diversity in the industry.
"You should be easy to find in this room," he quipped.
Logies kicks off with Jimmy Barnes
Jimmy Barnes has just given his all belting out Working Class Man, marking the start of the Logies.
And he was the inspiration for host Sam Pang's first joke, who said he can't think of song that better represents the guests in front of him.
Strap in, we're about to kick off.
Why Sunrise host Nat Barr never goes to the Logies after party
Despite it being the night of nights for Australian television, some of the most well-known faces on our screens can't truly let their hair down.
Sunrise host Nat Barr told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she doesn't ever attend the after party because instead, she desperately tries to get some sleep for the next morning.
If she's lucky, she gets one hour.
"So we get out of here at roughly midnight, we get home at maybe 12:30, we get into bed at maybe 1, [and] we get up at 2:30," she explained. "So that hour and a half is the maximum possible time that we can sleep. It's about an hour sleep if we're lucky.
"But it's only one night of the year, so who's complaining. We get to frock up and have a great night. Bacon and egg rolls, couple of coffees, and we're off and racing!"
Yikes. Talk about dedication.

Ricki-Lee addresses brutal snub
She's nominated for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter tonight, but Ricki-Lee was recently snubbed from Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs.
She laughed off the slight while chatting with Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet and admitted she had 'a lot of gays reaching out [who were] very, very upset'.
As for how she feels about being a Logie nominee, the Australian Idol host admitted it's 'an incredible honour'.
'I just think it's so nice to get recognition from the industry,' she said. 'We put so much work into this show, and I work really, really hard. I'm generally the first one to arrive on set and the last one to leave, so it's just nice to get that recognition and that nod from the industry to say, 'Hey, you've done a great job. We see you, good on you'.'
How nominees find out they're up for a Logie
What viewers at home might not realise is that, besides the Gold Logie nominees who are told in advance, stars don't find out they've been nominated for a Logie until the announcement is made to the public.
Heartbreak High actress Chloé Hayden told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she didn't know she was up for Best Supporting Actress until she opened Instagram.
'You find out the same time that everyone else finds out!' she shared. 'Which is kind of fun. I'm like, this is nice. It's very wholesome, like we're all in this together.'
Logies guests interview each other
It's something we tried last year and it was so good we've done it again. We've asked tonight's guests to pass a question on to the next star interviewed, and you can see it for yourself below.
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.Logies drag on again

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.

Lady Gaga's Unexpected 'Wednesday' Role Comes With a Dark New Song
Lady Gaga's Unexpected 'Wednesday' Role Comes With a Dark New Song originally appeared on Parade. Season 2 of Wednesday promises a fresh wave of misadventures and spooky surprises for the beloved lead character. As Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) dives into another year of dark and kooky chaos, she will reportedly cross paths with a mysterious new teacher played by none other than Lady Gaga, whose appearance will be accompanied by a haunting new song. According to Variety, Gaga's involvement in Wednesday's new season also includes a tune specifically written for the series. Gaga is expected to release 'Dead Dance' in September 2025, timed to coincide with her guest-starring role. Gaga will reportedly play the role of Rosaline Rotwood.

This plot addition will help fully flesh out the characters. 'You have Wednesday and her mother and then Morticia and her mother,' Burton revealed. 'So I feel that delves a bit deeper into this weird family." He added, "Everybody says they have a family that's weird but I'm like, 'name me one normal family.' There's not one I've ever met in my whole life.' Season 2's official description, per Netflix, reads, "Wednesday Addams returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends, and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery." Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts on Netflix. Part 1 premieres with four episodes on August 6, while Part 2 follows with four more episodes on September 3, 2025.

Where Was 'Wednesday' Filmed?
On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. Dark, deadpan, and fabulously glossy—Netflix's Wednesday, a spin-off of The Addams Family, quickly found its place as one of 2022's most zeitgeisty hits. In the days following its release, the series surpassed Stranger Things as the most-watched new series in its week of release, racking up 341.2 million hours of watch time across the world. The series stars Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, You) as the eponymous Wednesday, the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams (played by Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones). The series follows Wednesday as she enrolls at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, after she's expelled from her high school for an incident involving piranhas, the school swimming pool and the boys' water polo team. Wednesday. (L to R) Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams in episode 201 of Wednesday. Cr. Jonathan Hession/Netflix © 2025 Netflix Despite the speedy recommission from Netflix, season two of the smash-hit series has been three years in the making. However, fans are treated to a host of new famous faces during the new adventures, including Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump and Billie Piper as Isadora Capri. Principal photography for the second series began in May 2024 in Ireland, with shooting taking place over six months. While much of Wednesday's first outing made use of Romania's Gothic backdrops, it was Ireland that the production team turned to this time around. On the team's decision to shoot in Ireland, showrunner Miles Millar said, 'Everything about Ireland fits the sensibility of the show. We have incredible woods. We have beautiful castles. We have the lush greens, the gray skies. Even though it was summer, some nights were very cold. We were shivering, but it looked fantastic. There's something very magical about the light in Ireland that really lends itself to the show and gives it something that's very unique and special that translates to the screen. Even though the show is set in Vermont, it makes it feel more aesthetically like a Tim Burton setting.' Where was Wednesday season 2 filmed? Wednesday.

Pamela Anderson Responds to Meghan Markle Plagiarism Claim
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Pamela Anderson has shot down allegations Meghan Markle plagiarized her cooking show during an interview on live TV. The Duchess of Sussex debuted With Love, Meghan on Netflix in March, but some online critics suggested the idea was a copy of Anderson's show, Pamela's Cooking With Love. Andy Cohen asked the Naked Gun actor whether she agreed during her appearance on his show Watch What Happens Live. Meghan Markle smiles during a photo posted on Instagram to mark her birthday by her lifestyle brand As Ever on August 4, 2025.

As Ever/Instagram Why It Matters Meghan's Netflix show has faced a barrage of criticism from reviewers across the U.S. media as well as the many social media users who routinely mock the duchess. And Meghan's five-year deal with the streaming giant ends in September, raising questions about whether it will be renewed. In that context, Meghan might well find it something of a relief to hear someone come to her defense. What To Know Cohen, previously a guest on Meghan's first podcast Archetypes, asked Anderson: "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking With Love? There were articles saying that these two shows were very similar." Anderson replied: "One. I didn't." Cohen said: "One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?" Pamela about being compared to "With love,Meghan" — That 1 (@ihtiandrs12) August 4, 2025 "No," Anderson replied. "I didn't really look, but I mean I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." A clip of the exchange was viewed more than 92,000 times after being on X with the message: "Pamela about being compared to 'With love, Meghan.'" What People Are Saying One post on social media read: "Meghan Markle copied Pamela Andersons gestures right down to hand-movements in her Netflix show." Another account wrote: "Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan vs. Pamela Anderson's Pamela's Cooking With Love? The difference couldn't be clearer. One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image." Meghan Markle's "With Love, Meghan" vs. Pamela Anderson's "Pamela's Cooking With Love"? The difference couldn't be clearer. One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image. Pamela's show... — Meghan Markle Parody (@queenofmemes80) February 24, 2025 "Pamela's show exudes warmth. She highlights chefs and their craft, focusing on family, making it relatable to anyone who values good company and fresh home-cooked meals. It's down-to-earth, inviting, and real." Others defended the duchess, with one writing: "The British Media fetish of creating imaginary enemies and scenario about Meghan Sussex and EVERY Famous Person, that walks this earth needs to be studied. So happy Pamela Anderson & Gwyneth Paltrow didn't entertain the #TBM and the never ending fantasies they continue to create." Another said: "She also said she didn't invent cooking shows, & Meghan is doing her thing. Absolutely. Meghan is doing her own thing. She's living life on her terms. Good on Pamela for refusing to join in the hate campaign against Meghan. It's nice to see there's still decent & honest people about." What Happens Next Meghan has until September to renegotiate the Netflix TV deal she signed with Prince Harry in September 2020. Netflix is also an equity partner in her lifestyle business As Ever, which launches its latest wine, a 2024 rosé, on Tuesday. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
