The Logie Awards are the Australia television industry awards, which have been presented annually since 1959. Renamed by Graham Kennedy after he won the first 'Star Of The Year award' [1], the name 'Logie' awards honours John Logie Baird who invented television as a practical medium. Awards are given in many categories, but the most widely-publicised and prestigious award is the Gold Logie, which is awarded to the 'most popular personality on Australian television'.

The Logies are held in somewhat of a low regard both within the Australian television industry and outside of it.[2] The industry itself is small and parochial enough to have few serious candidates. Particular individuals (such as Lisa McCune) and television shows are repeatedly re-nominated, regardless of the quality and quantity of their work in recent years.[3][4] Journalists in particular will often seek to win peer-reviewed awards rather than anything in the popular vote category.[2] As well as the popular awards, there are awards for 'most outstanding' achievements for actors, presenters, and various categories of programs judged by an industry jury.

Nomination and voting procedures
Many of the Logie categories are voted by the readers of TV Week magazine using coupons in the magazine and online forms. SMS (short message service) was introduced in 2006. Thus, the majority of Logie Awards are fan awards. The readership of TV Week is a relatively small proportion of the Australian population, and skews heavily to teenage girls.[5] The 'Most Outstanding' categories are voted on by a jury comprising members of the Australian TV industry and are thus industry awards. TV WEEK is a weekly television magazine in Australia, first published as a Melbourne-only publication in 1957 (as TV-Radio WEEK) and bearing a strong affiliation to television station GTV-9. ...

To be eligible to receive a Logie, a programme must be Australian produced, set in Australia and have a predominantly Australian cast. Although in other years there has been a Logie for Most Popular Foreign Programme, this award is not part of the 2007 awards.
People eligible for a Logie must have appeared on an Australian-produced show that was broadcast on Australian television in the previous year. It's unknown whether someone who isn't an Australian but appears on an Australian-produced show that was broadcast on Australian television can be eligible for the award.
There are long-held suspicions that network publicists engage in mass voting to rig the results. However, no hard evidence has emerged for this, other than the experiment by the satirical newspaper The Chaser, who nearly caused low-profile SBS newsreader Anton Enus to win the Gold Logie. They did so by getting their small readership to buy copies of TV Week and vote for Enus for the award. While the attempt failed (narrowly, according to reports), their failure gives some cause for the widespread derision in the industry (particularly the 'quality' end) towards the popular-vote awards.[2] The Chaser team from left to right, Julian Morrow, Andrew Hansen, Craig Reucassel, Chris Taylor and Chas Liccardello. ...

Bert Newton has been strongly associated with the history of the Logies. As well as winning the Gold Logie several times, he hosted the awards a total of 18 times. He has also performed in well-received guest appearances. One notable appearance was with Muhammad Ali as co-presenter. Newton made a comment "I like the boy!" (in reference to a series of Tv advertisements Bert had recently done), that was seen as racist by Ali, although this was not Newton's intention. Ali was upset at the comment and a full apology was issued by Newton and the Awards producers.
