Accusations, surprise wins and so many tears: The wildest moments from the 2025 Logie Awards.

The 2025 TV Week Logie Awards, aka Australian TV's night of nights, is upon us for its 65th birthday party.

At 65, our girl is ready to retire, develop an unhealthy obsession with Outlander and take a spontaneous caravan trip around Australia!

Taking centre stage at The Star in Sydney, this milestone ceremony was hosted for the third time by the mischievous Sam Pang, who brought his most savage monologue to date.

Broadcasting live on Channel 7 and 7plus, this year's event brought a few chaotic moments, a lot of red carpet glamour, and performances from Guy Sebastian and Jimmy Barnes.

The show with the most nominations was Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which earned an impressive eight nominations in multiple categories, but close behind was Netflix's Territory with seven nominations.

But it was ABC's beloved comedy series Fisk that took home a massive sweep of awards.

The 2025 Gold Logie nominees were: Ally Langdon, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Lynne McGranger, Poh Ling Yeow, and Sonia Kruger.

With Hamish (and his wife Zoe Foster Blake) making it clear he didn't want to win, there was a huge build-up to the night's biggest award.

With fierce competition, industry legends, and a host of new talent in attendance, the 2025 Logie Awards didn't disappoint.

If you missed it or just want to relive the magic, we've rounded up the best, biggest and wildest moments.

Gold Logie nominees proved there's no bad blood.

Poh Ling Yeow and Julia Morris showed that while they might both be Gold Logie nominees, they're still a couple of silly gooses as they played up for the cameras on the red carpet.

Jimmy Barnes kicked off the show.

There was fire! Jimmy in a buttoned-up denim jacket! Working class men! We had fun!

Sam Pang's monologue took no prisoners.

Sam Pang did not pull any punches. "Working Class Man? I can't think of a song that has less of a connection to the people in this room tonight," he began.

He went on to mock the MAFS and Dancing with the Stars contestants, before taking aim at multiple Gold Logie winner, Ray Martin.

"A journalist for over 60 years, even at the age of 80, he remains one of this country's most inquisitive minds. Ray is always asking questions. Even tonight, I saw him on the red carpet and he asked me, 'Sam, Where am I ?' Ray, have a great night, rest in peace."

There was one particularly awkward moment when he was mocking Richard Marx for joining The Voice. "I hope you have a wonderful night. Big fan, but I think we both know you answered the phone on the first ring," Pang joked to a less-than-impressed Marx.

But Pang saved his best gags for the Gold Logie nominees, especially Hamish Blake, who is the only man nominated in the category.

"I voted for Hamish not because I don't support women, but because I want to see him deliver the most awkward acceptance speech of all time. Hamish… now you know how it feels to be the diversity hire."

Read the full monologue here.

Kitty Flanagan and Anne Edmonds started their campaign that they should co-host next year.

Handing out the award for 'Best Entertainment Program', Kitty Flanagan and Anne Edmonds were truly hysterical.

"I'm wearing a suit by Tarocash, coincidentally the same black suit worn to court by Ben Roberts Smith… allegedly," Anne said.

"And I'm wearing Noni B, who has just done a collab with Erin Patterson… allegedly," added Kitty.

Before handing out the award to The Voice, they managed to throw some shade at Channel 10 for axing The Project and replacing it with 10News+.

"It is like The Project, still news delivered differently, the difference is no one is watching now," Kitty said.

Damn straight!

Hamish Blake was smart enough to make it clear he did not want to win the Gold Logie.

The double winner knows how bad winning again would look.

"I'm like the drunk uncle in the bridesmaid photo, thinking he is a legend," Blake summarised, running against six women in the category.

"Unless I am reading the room wrong, I don't know if anyone is like, let's hear it for middle-aged white guys, it would be awesome to crash through the pack!"

Sophie Monk asked Hamish's wife if she voted for him, and she shook her head that she had not. "Let's keep Ham off stage!" Hamish cheered.

Tom Gleeson went rogue… as per usual.

When giving out the award for 'Best Structured Reality Program', Tom Gleeson went predictably rogue by telling his fellow presenter, Poh Ling Yeow, why she wouldn't win the Gold Logie (she didn't ask).

"You are not going to win because you don't work at Channel 7," he said. "That's how it is at Channel 7, they are giving out awards to themselves… it is becoming a bit like Channel 7's invited us to their house so we can watch them have a wank."

Ummm, thanks for that visual, Tom.

Jelena Dokic gave the most powerful winner's speech of the night.

In the category for 'Best Factual or Documentary Program', the award was given to Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story and accepted by Jelena herself.

The former tennis champion gave an emotional speech about the documentary subject: her experience with domestic violence at the alleged hands of her father, Damir.

"The hard stories and the difficult topics need to be told to create awareness," she said.

"This is something that we did not even talk about ten years ago…. this is about a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health. To not just be heard but for them to reclaim their life, to find their voice and not just survive but to thrive. To do that, we need to actually be able to talk about it."

Ray Martin proved why he's still got it.

Sam Pang was joined by veteran journalist, Ray Martin, to introduce a new award, 'The Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter'.

Of course, the host didn't miss a chance to mock him. "You're 80 years old, are you still driving?" Sam Pang quizzed.

"I don't drive, I insist on an ambulance," Ray replied without missing a beat.

Pang then pondered whether one day, he might get an award in his honour. "This is my third time hosting, do you think one day they could name an award after me?" he asked.

"Question again?" Ray replied, blanking him. Legend!

The award was given to Ally Langdon for her work on A Current Affair.

Magda Szubanski was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

"I am so sorry I cannot be there. I do have a good excuse this time, normally I don't come because I can't be bothered getting out of my pyjamas," she joked.

"I want to say first of all, let's get this out of the way: I have not been awarded this honour because I have the cancer — I am getting this because of 40 years of hard work. Lobbying, bribing, threatening, whatever it took, whatever it took."

The iconic Kath & Kim star took time to thank the Australian public for the messages of support she's received since announcing her diagnosis.

"The love and support that I have felt — like a tsunami, from the Australian public — has been overwhelming, and I have to tell you, it really helps," she tearfully admitted.

"I wasn't going to cry. When I go online and look at those messages, every time, my heart lifts. And I feel that much stronger. To deal with the cancer. So thank you for the love that you are pouring my way, I really feel it."

Fisk cleaned up in the awards.

Fisk won a clean sweep for 'Lead Actress', 'Lead Actor', 'Best Supporting Actor', 'Best Supporting Actress' and 'Best Scripted Comedy Program'.

A huge win for the iconic ABC comedy series!

Lynne McGranger won the Gold Logie. Yay!

Lynne McGranger took the top honours, but she hilariously struggled to get to the stage with her dress. "Wear a pretty dress, they said, you will be fine, they said," she joked.

The actress has been on Home and Away for a monumental 33 years, and didn't miss the chance to make a joke about her age, even saying she will put her ashes in her Gold Logie.

Goals tbh.

"I thought what I could do is in a few years when I die, I might chop the head off, scoop it out, and put the ashes in there, and screw the head back on."

McGranger also won 'Best Lead Actress in a Drama', and thanked the writers for giving her character "the most remarkable exit story about a woman dealing with Alzheimer's."

What a woman! And what a night!
