EVENT: TV Week Logie Awards 2014

 

Last Sunday night I was lucky enough to attend the TV Week Logie Awards red carpet. I'm sure you're thinking 'well, so, anyone can attend' - and I'd say you were right. Anyone can attend a red carpet event but it usually means that you have to be up at the crack of dawn and wait around for hours and hours. I was lucky enough to score tickets to stand on the marble staircase so I had to arrive at 4pm (the event started at 4.30) and I got one of the best "seats" in the house.

To be honest though, I don't know many Australian celebrities. I knew, going into it, that I wanted a photo with Gary Mehigan from Masterchef Australia because I've adored him ever since the very first season (that's 2005!) of Ready Steady Cook. I'm so happy to report that I got my wish, and I got not one but two photos with him - thanks Gary for taking the photos. He was an absolute sweetheart and so nice to talk to.

I also met Ed Sheeran. He was very quite and timid. But he was very sweet to stick around and take photos with everybody. I thought that that was a class act. I also got another photo with James Callis (see Supanova 2014); he's working on the new Australian mini series Gallipoli filming in Melbourne until late June.

I have shared a bunch of photos under the cut for your viewing pleasure. I took over 200 on the night so this is only a selection ;)

Oh and PS. I'm likely that I will be invited again next year :)

EVENT: TV Week 2012 Logie Awards

Ah, the Logies, it so amuses me that everyone kind of hates them but secretly kind of wants to watch it at the same time. It's that love hate thing how Aussies seem to bag anything that comes from here, yet we still kind of interested anyway. Still, I actually love an award show so I stayed up and watched the whole thing - it wasn't easy. I was so sleepy (was up at 6am - long day - long story).

Of course, one of my favourite things about an award show is the fashion on the red carpet. I was a little bored with some - I think a lot of people played it safe this year and some of the ones who really stepped out of the box got it incredibly wrong! If they are reading this, I'll dress you next year =D I have channel 10 connections ...

As for the show itself, the opening monologue by Adam Hills was funny and charming. I'm with him though, enough of putting idiots on TV (loved his crack about the Kardashians). I don't really do trash reality TV - I must prefer trash competition reality TV lol. I'm also very happy for Hamish to take the gold. I had a feeling that he would - even more so after Gap Year took out Most Popular Light Entertainment Program. But I would like to see Shaun Micallef take the Gold one day. I adore Shaun and I think he deserves it.

Another Logies has come and gone. Bring on next year! x

My best dressed picks are under the cut :)
