Magda Szubanski Honored at Logies Amid Cancer Battle, Full Highlights

UPDATE: Magda Szubanski received a standing ovation at the Logies Hall of Fame induction on July 15, 2025, despite being unable to attend due to her ongoing battle with stage four blood cancer. The beloved comedian and actor delivered a heartfelt pre-recorded speech, captivating audiences with both humor and emotion.

In her acceptance speech, Szubanski, known for her iconic role as Sharon Strzelecki in Kath & Kim, humorously claimed, “I am getting this because of 40 years of hard work. Lobbying, bribing, threatening, whatever it took, whatever it took. Finally, it has all paid off.” She concluded with a poignant moment, removing her beanie to reveal her clean-shaven head, stating she had her “hair done specifically so it would match” her Gold Logie.

As the night progressed, tennis star Jelena Dokic also delivered an emotional acceptance speech after winning the Logie for Best Factual or Documentary Program for Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story. “This is not about winning. This is about a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health,” she declared.

Journalist Ally Langdon beamed as she accepted the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. The award was presented by Martin, who expressed his honor in recognizing journalism amidst current challenges.

Other notable moments included a powerful performance by iconic rocker Jimmy Barnes, who kicked off the night with his hit Working Class Man. Host Sam Pang humorously congratulated and roasted nominees for the coveted Gold Logie, where seven contenders, including Sonia Kruger and Hamish Blake, competed for the top honor.

Among the early winners was Bluey, taking home the award for Best Children’s Program. The 65th Logie Awards are being broadcast live on the Seven Network, ensuring viewers don’t miss any of the exciting developments.

The night underscored the resilience and dedication of the Australian entertainment industry, bringing together stars to celebrate their shared achievements despite the challenges posed by the current climate.

The event continues to highlight the importance of recognizing both personal and professional journeys within the industry. As the 2024 Paris Olympics approaches, Channel Nine’s sports coverage also received accolades, showcasing the breadth of talent present at the Logies.

As this story develops, audiences are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on the winners and highlights from the ceremony, marking a significant night for Australian television.
