One of New Zealand's greatest actors, Sir Sam Neill, won his third Logie at last night's television awards in Australia, but he wasn't there to receive it.

Neill wasn't the only Kiwi to win an award last night with comedian Guy Montgomery taking home the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent for his show Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee.

Alan Niven, the NZ born manager of Guns n Roses
This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. Kiwi born Alan Niven helped shape one of the most explosive, chaotic, and mythic rises in rock history as the manager of Guns n Roses from 1986 through 1991. He got the job, he says, because nobody else wanted it. He wasn't the bottom of the barrel; he was under the barrel. Guns N Roses had a reputation for drug use and handling the notoriously brilliant and volatile lead singer Axl Rose was practically pure torture. Photo: Courtesy of Alan Niven
