Logies 2025: Who the bookies have tipped to take home this years Gold Logie award
With anticipation for the 65th TV Week Logie Awards reaching its boiling point, the question on everyone's mind is who will take out this years Gold Logie.
The speculation continues to build on who looks likely, but the sports books have a clear leader in the seven horse race, according to betting odds for the top prize.
The favourite to have their name called on stage this year is non-other than Home and Away's Lynne McGranger coming in with the shortest odds out of the pool paying $1.57.
McGranger has been gracing the screens as Irene Roberts in Summer Bay since 1993, and following the news that she will be leaving the show next month after 32 years, fans will be looking to give her a fitting send off.
Australia's sweetheart also looks a strong chance to win Best Actress in a Drama as well, at $2.75 she is just short of being the favourite behind Apple Cider Vinegar star Kaitlyn Denver at $2.25.
Next in the books for the Gold Logie is A Current Affair host Ally Langdon, who at $4.33 has the best chance at disrupting McGranger's fairy tale send off.
Even if Langdon isn't successful with the Gold Logie, she's the betting favourite to take out the Ray Martin award for most popular news or public affairs presenter, at $1.91.
According to the bettors, the other likely nominee to have a shot at gold is LEGO Masters host Hamish Blake at $6 in his sixth nomination, with the Aussie comedian already having two Gold Logies in his trophy cabinet.
The long shots see their odds balloon to double-digit figures, with first time nominees in ABC's Lisa Millar and MasterChef's Poh Ling Yeow paying $10 and $13 respectively.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'s Julia Morris enters the pool with her fourth nomination, but at $11 the punters don't favour the hosts chances to finally capture the coveted award.
While 2023 winner and Channel Seven's Sonia Kruger has the longest odds to come home a winner at $17, despite the range for her hosting nominations, including The Voice, Dancing With The Stars and last years Logies Red Carpet Show.
The books do like Kruger's chances for winning the Burt Newton Award for most popular presenter, at $4.33 she has the third best odds to win the award in her third straight nomination, coming in behind Todd Woodbridge at $2.25 and Ricki-Lee at $3.75.
Despite who the punters tip, it's all up in the air until the eventual winners will be announced at the Logie Awards on Sunday, August 3.
Gold Logie odds:
Lynne McGranger - $1.57
Ally Langdon - $4.33
Hamish Blake - $6
Lisa Millar - $10
Julia Morris - $11
Poh Ling Yeow - $13
Sonia Kruger - $17

Isla Fisher embracing her 'new identity' after divorce
Isla Fisher went thought a 'tough couple of years' but she's now embracing her 'new identity as somebody outside of a partnership'. The 49-year-old Australian actress is single again following the breakdown of her marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen and she's admitted her life has totally changed and she's trying to adapt by staying as 'as buoyant as possible'. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'I've had a tough couple of years, but I'm making it through. I'm really excited for the next chapter. 'I'm refocusing on my career, because previously I was very much focused on my kids, which I still am, obviously, because they're my true love. But I'm enjoying tackling work again.' She added: 'That's been one of the benefits of a challenging situation: the luxury of asking myself, What would I like to do professionally and privately? ... 'I'm trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership and to stay as buoyant as possible. Any time there's change, it's hard to adapt. But hopefully I'm doing an okay job.' The former couple - who have three children together - announced their split in April and in May revealed their divorce had been finalised, allowing them both to move forward. In a joint statement posted on Instagram, the former Hollywood couple explained: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. 'We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.' Fisher previously called her divorce the 'most difficult thing' she's been through, but insisted at the time that she and the Borat star remained focused on their children. She told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'I've learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents ... 'Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.'

Magda Szubanski set to enter the Logies Hall of Fame
Comedy star Magda Szubanski is set to be inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame for her contribution to Australian television. She becomes the fifth woman inducted since the award was established in 1984, joining Ruth Cracknell, Noni Hazlehurst, Kerri-Anne Kennerley and Rebecca Gibney. Szubanski is best known for winning the hearts of Australians as the unconventionally sporty, unlucky-in-love Sharon Strzelecki in sitcom Kath and Kim. That sparked roles in the smash-hit movies Babe and Happy Feet, along with both sequels, among others. She first burst onto Australian screens in the mid-1980s after being picked up by ABC talent scouts watching her perform in a university revue. Her credits include sketch shows Fast Forward and critically acclaimed Big Girl's Blouse, alongside Kath and Kim co-writers Gina Riley and Jane Turner. Off-screen, Szubanski has been a strong advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. In 2018 she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for her contribution to the marriage equality campaign. In May 2025, Szubanski announced she had stage-four mantle cell lymphoma, describing it as a "rare and fast-moving blood cancer". She said she would be lying low to protect her immune system. "I won't sugar-coat it, it's rough," the 64-year-old wrote of her diagnosis at the time. "But I'm hopeful. I'm being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant and I've never felt more held by the people around me." The 65th Logie Awards will take place on Sunday, with women set to dominate television's most glamorous night. All but one of the nominations for the coveted Gold Logie award are women and the night is set to be hosted by comedian Sam Pang.
