We love Tom. He tells it as it is. No Bullshit.

[@LeSkateWA]

Channel 9 disabled comments. Trying to silence something? I say good on him, he didnt say anything offensive and lighten the F up.

[@stuartkeating6508]

If you're talking about the KZbin channel, they've had it disabled for a while now, like for at least a year.

[@jaggirl]

True. But I think Amanda Keller should have won.

[@HarrisonBowman]

@@jaggirl Nah, she shouldn't have, considering the way she reacted when Tom gave his speech, she didn't deserve to win.

[@boodgy1818]

@@HarrisonBowman agree with you totally, her reaction to Tom's campaign leading up to the awards exposed her real off camera persona, and her reaction during his speech spoke volumes of her true character...clearly the best person won.

[@HarrisonBowman]

@@boodgy1818 I knew she was like that when both Tom and Amanda were on Good News Week together one episode back in the day, whenever Tom tried to make a joke she'd get offended, the audience would laugh but she'd kill the mood with her attitude

An entertainer won a Logie??? Not a news anchor that follows a script??? Well done Tom!!! I voted fot Costa btw.😜

[@versacegang42]

Same! So happy he got best presenter. His outfit was amazing

[@J.MK10]

I applaud him. He spoke a lot of truths. And one being that the Logies really are a joke, and channel 9 hates the fact that he’s called it out... with humour lol

[@JackRipper8881]

Why are they a joke? Because that bald fuckwit said so?

[@Assenayo]

@@JackRipper8881 They are a joke because Australian TV is a joke. Even Channel 9's owners know this which is why they own Stan.

[@oscarbear1043]

Some say he damaged the “ credibility “ of the TV industry, They’ve done that themselves over the past years. Their pretensions at serious journalism is breathtaking.

[@michaelmarshall1713]

He was a right choice to host and when he won ? What a breath of fresh air . Tom I have always liked you but now am an even bigger fan . Well done to a real Australian Winner.

[@kombik7189]

And here I was thinking Sunrise was worse than Channel 9. At least they don't silence comments on KZbin. I loved the expression on Waleed Aly's face when Glesson was talking about manipulating the media. Never more ironic. And then Aly's faux offense afterwards on The Project. The Gold Logie has been farcical for years. At least Gleeson was honest about it.

[@wingscancer]

[@deanpd3402]

Waleed Aly is offended...well done Tom! Although in reality there is no need to congratulate someone for offending the easily offended. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

[@Freefall_AU]

If only the "so called celebs" could act as well on the tv screens as their attempt at outrage to Toms win. The amount of fun and laughing at his campaign and speeches , you cant then say you were offended.

[@dieniefay3733]

The first time I've sat & watched the Logies all the way through for a long time & only because of Tom Gleeson , , he was soo funny , all the other stuck-ups are just soo jealous , he's a comedian for Christ sake , liven up , he made it very interesting , loved it , cheers .

[@deanpd3402]

In 61 years of living, I have never watched the Logies once and no matter how many Tom Gleeson's they put on the show, I never will. Have only ever watched the Oscars once. Way back in 76 when One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest won a whole bunch of awards. Back when Jack Nicholson was still pretty unknown. These award ceremonies are atrocious.

[@MrTallpoppy58]

Peter Heller, Rove, Hamish & Andy, Dave Hughes are all smart arse's and simpley NOT funny but the industry promotes its self above the reality and its a boy's club; you don't have to be funny or good, just have friends .... and Carl Stefanovic is just a knob. Tom's cynicism and criticism of the inductry is well justified and well put.

I like Hamish and Andy Lee and Dave.. Tom's OK I guess..

Glad Tom won the Logies regardless and great ABC 'cleaned up' as it was said.....they deserve the extra respect that these logies will give them regardless of Gov't funding etc! Hopefully they'll get some extra funding out of this that they so desperately need......their repeats drive me nut to be honest!

[@tulipchic34]

Glad he won. So funny to see other people have a tizzy fit over not winning. The Logies suck. Glad Tom pointed out how dumb they actually are

[@Abide51]

Makes me wonder if you even need to be on television to win the gold logie..... maybe i should start campaining for myself to win the gold logie next year

[@NxDoyle]

The Logies are a reminder of how culturally backwards and isolated Australia was before the 1980's. Every effort to appear relevant and _au courant_ has misfired. Also, it's good to see that Seven and Nine still take every opportunity to express their hatred for each other. It's their only worthwhile attribute. Both deserve the scorn they so unabashedly heap on each other, their credulous, drooling viewing audience still under the impression that it matters.

[@TOA57Y]

[@truthsayer81]

Toms opening speech was probably the only few minutes of the entire existence of the Logies that has ever been entertaining. Australian tv always has been a sad attempt at recreating the magic of American television and the Logies is just a ridiculous attempt at recreating possibly the lowest part of the American television industry. It’s good to see Tom not only host it but also win an award, if only he could have his own internet based show free from the mediocrity of Australian television so he could properly let loose on the wankers involved in it.
