Clean sweep for Fisk as the ABC sets new benchmark in screen excellence with 11 Logies – The ABC had its most successful Logies with a record-breaking 11 awards from 23 categories including five to Fisk last night at The Star in Sydney.
The ABC won more awards at the 65th Logie Awards than any other network or streamer and surpassed its previous best 10 Logie awards won in 2019.
One of the ABC’s most successful series of all time, Fisk won the most Logie awards of any program on Australian television this year. It collected awards in every category in which it was nominated including Best Scripted Comedy Program, Kitty Flanagan was named Best Lead Actress in a Comedy, Aaron Chen took home the Best Lead Actor in a Comedy, Julia Zemiro won Best Supporting Actress and Glenn Butcher the Best Supporting Actor.
Magda Szubanski was inducted into the Logie Awards Hall of Fame in a moving tribute to the much-loved comedian and actor who first rose to prominence in the late 1980s on D-Generation (ABC) and later Kath and Kim (ABC and Seven).
For the third consecutive year, Australian Story presented by Leigh Sales, won the Logie for Best Current Affairs program. One of the most popular shows on the ABC for the past 29 years, last night’s win was the program’s sixth Logie Award.
The Best News Coverage or Public Affairs Report was won by Four Corners for Adele Ferguson’s report Betrayal of Trust. The program investigated misconduct and exploitation within the Australian childcare sector and uncovered shocking cases of child abuse, neglect, and injury. The hour-long report aired in March and exposed significant failures within the $2 billion childcare system, which serves around 1.5 million children.
Popular comedian Guy Montgomery won the prestigious Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent as host of Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee.
Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, narrated by Gold Logie nominee Lisa Millar was recognised as the Most Popular Factual Program. Building on the success of the original series with a new generation of working dogs and trainers, the heartwarming series has struck a chord with Australian audiences.
Bluey won the Logie for Most Outstanding Children’s Program, where five of six nominations were ABC programs. Bluey is the most-watched title ever on any Australian broadcaster’s on-demand platform and continues to affirm itself as a cultural phenomenon, engaging audiences in Australia and globally.
Return to Paradise, the highly successful ABC spin-off of the global smash-hit Death in Paradise, won Best Drama.

We’re very proud of the work of these great journalists and the teams behind them.”
