Asher Keddie is Australia’s favourite television personality, taking home the Gold Logie at this year’s night of nights for Aussie TV.
It was the actress’s third time lucky at the Logie awards, taking out the top gong after her third consecutive nomination. She also won the most popular actress award with Home and Away’s Steve Peacocke taking the silver Logie for most popular actor.
“What do you say when you win a Gold Logie?” the overwhelmed actress said as she accepted her award, going on thank her Offspring colleagues.
Keddie trumped first-time nominee Carrie Bickmore and favourites Hamish and Andy, though the cheeky comedy duo went home with silver, awarded the people’s choice award for most popular presenter.
An emotional Deborah Mailman was given a standing ovation when she accepted the most outstanding actress award for her portrayal of Bonita Mabo in telemovie Mabo.
“I got the chance to play the most extraordinary woman,” she said as the woman she portrayed joined her on stage.
“It was a gift for me to meet this woman.”
The Voice was awarded silver for most popular light entertainment program, and the Kerry Packer miniseries HowZat! won most popular miniseries.
More than one million viewers tuned in to take part in television’s night of nights complete with red carpet glamour, a few awkward moments, and of course, Bert Newton.
