And the Gold Logie goes to... Hamish Blake!

In true Hamish style, he's bringing his funny antics into his speech, here's what he's saying:

"First Gold Logie in five years to not be decided by Tom Gleeson. That is massive. Congratulations you have won 2022 Gold Logie.  As there was no Gold Logie in 2021 or 2020 they jackpotted.

This counts for three. Oh my god. That is — I've won one two years ago. To win four of these is…that's too much.

That is a huge honour. 

I am really wrapped. I wouldn't get to be — you can't present something without a show to present something without a show to present. Everyone involved in Lego Masters. Everyone that voted for it.

This is lovely for Lego Masters. Brick man, you gorgeous bastard. I know I got emotional accepting the award earlier.

I'm sorry if I was going to steal your schtick brick man. It's because of you. All the people that come together to create 'Lego Masters'. My beautiful wife, this is — you don't get to stand up here unless you have amazing people behind you.

You're the most amazing of people. You stole my look for tonight. I had to quickly find this.

Apart from that, I think you do it better anyway. Thank you honey. And I would also like to thank you know, little shout out to our kids."

'Thank you Brittany for never giving up': Lisa Wilkinson wins Most Outstanding News Coverage or Public Affairs Report

Sarah Abo and David Speers are presenting this award.

Lisa Wilkinson's interview with Brittany Higgins has won this Logie.

Ms Wilkinson said after 40 years in journalism, it was "by far" the most important work she'd ever done.

"I knew it from the very first phone call I had early last year with a young woman whose name she told me was Brittany Higgins," she said.

"Four incredibly intense sleepless weeks later, when our story went to air, the entire country knew the name Brittany Higgins."

"As Brittany warned me before we went to air, her story would be seen by many of the most powerful people in this country, not as a human problem, but as a political problem."

"Brittany Higgins was a political problem. And governments tend to like political problems to go away. But Brittany never did. And the truth is, this honour belongs to Brittany."

  • 60 Minutes – ‘Nazi’s Next Door’, 9Network
  • 7News – War In Ukraine, Seven Network

What's the difference between most outstanding and most popular?

What's the difference between most outstanding and popular in the categories?

-Confused

Hey there,

The Most Popular categories are voted for by the Australian public, so if you've voted in recent days, that's where it went.

Most Outstanding awards are voted for by a panel of experts in the TV industry.
