Logies 2025 live updates: Aussie TV celebrities descend on The Star as Sam Pang delivers brutal opening speech
The 2025 Logies are underway at The Star in Sydney where Australian TV celebrities are starting to take to the red carpet.
The prestigious awards haven’t got off to the best start thanks to wild weather and the closure of the Harbour Bridge, due to a Palestine protest, making it more difficult than usual to arrive at the venue in Pyrmont.
All eyes are on the red carpet this afternoon with famous faces dressing to impress in stunning outfits.
The live broadcast starts at 7pm on Seven, with the red carpet show with the official awards from 7.30pm, hosted by Sam Pang for the third year in a row.
Key Events
The Logie goes to...
The Olympic Games Paris 2024, 9Network / Stan Sport
Presenters James Bracey and Ally Langdon are accepting the award. It marks the Nine Network’s first win for Olympic coverage.
A message from Clare
Hi, Clare here.
I’d just like to say at this point that just about ALL my Logies predictions have so far come to fruition. Don’t want to brag - but if this were a real race, I’d be way out in front.
Read my form guide here.
And bow down to my knowledge!

Sam is back after the break
And being hilarious again.
This time, he’s got ABC in his sights:
“ABC royalty are here tonight. Tom Gleason and Charlie Pickering are here from Hard Quiz and The Weekly from the national broadcaster, two shows that have never been better in my opinion, although they did lose a lot of viewers this year...not to a show on another channel, just the natural causes,” he quipped.
I mean...he’s not wrong?
Off the hook! No kiss cam tonight
Sam Pang has reassured guests that they can “rest easy as there is no kiss cam tonight.”
“I’m not going to lie I actually wanted it but Ray Martin (from Home and Away) insisted that we didn’t.
“Son of a gun.”
