The Logies Awards 2026 on 16 August recognised an array of talented Australian actors, producers, directors and hosts for their contributions to Australian TV programming over the last year. In a glittering ceremony taking place at The Star in Sydney, a line-up of local talents showed off their best looks, while celebrating the all-round excellence of Australian TV throughout 2025 and 2026.
Beloved comedian and host Sam Pang took out the 2026 Gold Logie for his contributions across a slate of programs. In a nice surprise, actor Magda Szubanski presented the award as Kath and Kim‘s Sharon Strzelecki, in one of her first major appearances since announcing a cancer diagnosis.
During the show, actor Deborah Mailman was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame, becoming the first Indigenous person to do so. TV presenter Andrew Denton was also inducted, as was 1980s TV program A Country Practice.
In a poignant but well-deserved moment, the late actor Sam Neill won a posthumous Silver Logie for his performance in Binge’s The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer.
Here’s the full list of winners from the Logies Awards 2026.
