The 66th annual TV WEEK Logie Awards celebrated 70 years of Australian television at The Star Sydney. Hosted by Robert Irwin, the ceremony featured several notable winners, including Ally Langdon, who received the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.

A significant milestone of the event was the induction of actress Deborah Mailman into the Logie Hall of Fame. Mailman became the first person of First Nations descent to receive this honor. During her acceptance speech, she expressed being ‘overwhelmed with pride’ and dedicated the award to her parents. She also used the platform to acknowledge First Nations actors who preceded her, such as David Gulpilil and Ernie Dingo, and emphasized the importance of Indigenous-led projects like ‘Redfern Now’.
