Karl is not sleazy – he is a fantastic host and the reason I watch Today – thrilled for you Karl!
@Mate thats because seven had good quality shows… sick of nine getting awards for substandard shows… again logies enough said…
@Mark: It looks likes BHAG will have to change time slots because of Aerial Ping -Pong.
Chrissie is awesome, glad she won! Hope she wins the Gold Logie as well. Also great to see The Circle win, such a good show… the girls are so genuine on air and great to watch! And how is Karl winning awards, what is so likeable about him? I can’t stand him.
The Circle win was well deserved,the girls are so funny.I thought Colin Lane should of been on stage with girls,he has co-hosted more shows than Denise Drysdale this year.
Have not idea why Karl won, really does reflects on the state of the logies.
The Chasers should’ve hosted it, at least make it more bearable to watch and it’s not helping when we have that horrible Big promo protruding in our faces.
Mark I think BH&G needs to find a new timeslot with the new AFL deal Seven have signed. They can’t show the matches on delay.
5 minutes of the usual train-wreck was enough for me.
And the winner is … mediocrity, as usual.
Yessssssssss….The Circle nabs Light Entertainment category!!!
Chrissie and the girls rock…we love you! Well deserved
Talkin’ Bout Your Gen isn’t doing so well this year.
I’m so sick of Seven winning all the time and them always being nominated, all their programs are crap!
Stopped watching after 15mins – normally I watch pretty much the whole show. I think the Logies are looking tired – I do realise people have been saying this for years but I’ve just realised it now. Even the red carpet part looked tired.
Who are these pathetic people that voted for Stefanovic?
What was Johanna Griggs referring to when she said she said “We don’t know what’s going to happen to our programme but we hope wherever it ends up you stay with it.”
Shane Bourne is the greatest host of all time!
So awesome that Karl won!
In fact this year’s ceremony has been very entertaining – a big improvement on previous years which were much less funny.
Karl??? Wins a Logie??? LOL Ahhh Logies how amazingly irrelevant and stupid you are.
How cheap does the award look too, when you hold it up like Chrissie Swan in that pic and you see TV Week on the bottom. No prestige to the award at all. So so tacky
The overall talent on air and jokes are not working and making the event look really tacky!
By just reading the tweets, it shows that people agree.
Media will be intresting to read tomorrow morning…
Shane Bourne is having a great night as host. He has got me in stiches!
I can’t stand Karl Stefanovic, why does he have to be so slimy?
it shows how bad television is in australia when an idiot like karl stefanovic wins a logie
Is Karl Stefanovic drunk, or just always that sleazy?
Karl Stefanovic is a horrible symbol of the worst of Australian television. He is so disgusting towards women – so sleezy in fact that the main three women he mentioned – Lisa, his wife and even Chrissie Swan… he felt the need to comment on sexually.
What a joke.
Other than that the show has been bearable so far. Katy Perry was great, and you’ve got to love Firass and Chrissie.
So happy Chrissie won,she is a breath of fresh air on tv.So down to earth and funny.
