  Logie Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Awards are given in many categories, but the most widely-publicised award (if not necessarily the most prestigious) is the Gold Logie, which is awarded to the "most popular personality on Australian television".
The Gold Logie voting system was changed in 2006 to allow SMS voting by the wider public, and after a considerable publicity campaign for Wood he finally received the award that year.
The awards are now held in a ballroom in Melbourne's Crown Casino (rather than a theatre, which is common for the Emmies and Oscars) and drinks are served during the ceremony.
