The 2023 Gold Logie Winner Predictions Are In

With just a few sleeps to go until the 2023 TV Week Logie Awards, speculation is rife surrounding who will win the coveted Gold Logie. The top gong is awarded each year to the Most Popular Personality on Australian TV, with the public ultimately casting votes for their favourite to win.

This year, there are seven nominees up for the Gold Logie, consisting of three women and four men. They are I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! host Julia Morris, former 7:30 Report host Leigh Sales, Sonia Kruger who hosts The Voice, Dancing With The Stars and Big Brother, Lego Masters host Hamish Blake, The Bachelor and The Masked Singer host Osher Günsberg, Mystery Road: Origin actor Mark Coles Smith, and Shaun Micaellef from Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell.

As a two-time Gold Logie winner already, Hamish Blake has been tipped as the favourite to take home the award. According to betting agency Sportsbet, the 41-year-old's odds sit at $1.37, while Sonia Kruger and Leigh Sales sit equally at $7.50.

Julia Morris is at $15 and Shaun Micallef sits at $17, while the chances look rather slim for Mark Coles Smith and Osher Günsberg who both sit at $21.

However, with viewers having the chance to cast their votes for their fave, it's still anyone's game at this point and we could be in for a surprise.

Comedian Blake, who won the Gold Logie in 2012 and 2022, doesn't think his chances look that great this time around. He's hoping that the ABC's Leigh Sales takes home the shiny trophy.

"I do get the sense I’ll be the guy to hand it over this time, which I’m happy to do," Blake told The Daily Telegraph.

"I mean, I’ll be voting for Leigh Sales — I think we all will be. Leigh and I bonded over our love of Survivor and I think she’d be happy to have that alliance heading into voting."

Meanwhile, Channel 7 personality Kruger just hopes that a woman wins this year, telling the publication, "I’d love to see one of the girls take it out".

While Australian TV's faced plenty of scrutiny over the years when it comes to representation, the tide is slowly shifting. Each female Gold Logie nominee is over the age of 50 this year, and one Indigenous person (Mark Coles Smith) is also up for the award.

For the first time in 11 years, the 2023 Logies will have a host in Have You Been Paying Attention? star and Chinese Australian comedian Sam Pang. Taking place at The Star in Sydney on Sunday, July 30, some of the biggest names in Australian TV will walk the red carpet to celebrate the industry's night of nights.
