Well another year has now passed and it looks like the future is looking bright for Australian drama. This year, the Logies had many drama shows nominated including the two biggest shows Underbelly and Packed to the Rafters. PttR picked up six awards, including the Gold Logie which went to Rebecca Gibney (which was a huge shock as I thought Ian Smith was going to get it).

Underbelly did an amazing job as well by picking up three awards, including Most Outstanding Actor and Actress. Not bad for a
show which is still causing headaches for Channel
Nine
as some of the episodes are still banned for viewing in Victoria.

Home and Away managed to get one award, which went to Todd Lasance for Most Popular Actor. His character Aden Jefferies has been great and this was proven during the show's sexual abuse storyline last year.

Sadly the awards were abit boring when it came to the main host. Gretel Killeen may have been a great host for Big Brother but she failed big time with people commenting on the popular SMS style networking site Twitter, that her hosting skills were in bad taste and the worst anyone has ever seen since Wendy Harmer back in 2002.

For me my all time favourite Logies moment was the Myles Barlow's Review segment, which showed a few stars getting into trickly situations including those At the Movies presenters from the ABC.

Overall next year I would like to someone like Dave Hughes, Shaun Micallef or even the Chaser Boys take charge as that would make for a very interesting evening.

Until next time, lets hope the Logie Awards will finally live up to its name and return to its original roots as a great entertaining awards cermony!!
