A media commentator has come up with a theory as to why the same Aussie celebrities are nominated at the Logies year after year.
Taking to TikTok, Josh Fox pointed out that veteran TV hosts Julia Morris, Sonia Kruger and Hamish Blake seem to be the only real ‘talent’ in Australia.
‘Am I missing something or do you all actually love the Logies because I am baffled every year by how media froth over it,’ he said after Sunday’s telecast.
‘The media pretend it’s like the Oscars, but I don’t know anyone who cares?’
Fox scrutinised a list of the Gold Logie nominees, and pointed out that Kruger, 59, who won the top gong in 2022, has been up for the prize every year since.
He also shared that I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! host Julia Morris, 57, has been nominated for the coveted Gold Logie ‘four times in four years’.

‘Hamish Blake has had three Gold Logie nominations in the last four years,’ he continued.
‘It’s like Australia has no new talent.’
‘Who will be nominated when all these old television people die?’ one fan replied in the comments.
‘A lot of people care [about the Logies] and you won’t find them here as they are all over the age of 50,’ another added.
‘They’re nominated every year because we don’t have new celebs. Anyone trying to make it leaves Australia,’ one argued.
‘I don’t care for it, I didn’t know most of the shows nominated.’
Meanwhile, a similar conspiracy theory also surfaced on The Beetoota Advocate.

Titled ‘Woman Who Hasn’t Watched Free To Air TV Since 2008 Still Able To Recognise Every Person At The Logies’, the satire story was shared on Monday and has attracted a whopping 12,360 likes since.
‘TIME WARP: A woman who hasn’t watched free to air television since 2008 was surprised to discover that she could still recognise 90% of the celebrities at this year’s Logie Awards, which has led her to believe that the Australia media industry might be stuck in a bit of a time warp,’ the story read.
The satire yarn claimed that the ’35-year-old woman called Anita Shafe’ did not know ‘most international celebrities’, but this did not pose an issue.
‘[Because] with the Australian media landscape as it is, it rarely gives any airtime to any talent born after 1985,’ the mocking story added.
‘It’s genuinely pathetic how accurate this is,’ one person commented.
‘All we have to show for “successful” entertainers are washed up and still doing the same s*** they were doing 20 years ago.’
‘Nobody born after 1998 is allowed on TV,’ another viewer commented.
It comes after viewers slammed the telecast, with many viewers lashing out at the ‘boring’ awards show.
Several people took to X to mock the annual ceremony and claim the Logies simply aren’t relevant anymore.
‘No better confirmation that free-to-air TV is dying than the #Logies – a mixture of yesterday’s celebrities and nobodies talking about themselves,’ one person wrote.
‘It’s quaint how they still have the Logies – a dying medium celebrating mediocrity #Logies,’ another said.
Still, despite drubbing the ceremony received online the 2025 Logies proved to be a ratings success.
It was the biggest show during Sunday’s prime time, scoring an impressive national average of 1,425,000 viewers.
