Gold Logie Award for Best Personality on Australian Television

The Gold Logie Award for Best Personality on Australian Television, commonly referred to simply as the Gold Logie, is an award presented annually at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. It was first awarded at the 2nd Annual TV Week Logie Awards, held in 1960 when the award was originally called Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. For the 2016 ceremony, the award was renamed from "Most Popular" to "Best".^[1] The winner and nominees of the Gold Logie are chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website.^[2] Although there have been 56 awards ceremonies, a total of 65 Gold Logies have been won as two Gold Logies, for male and female, were awarded in 1962, 1967, 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977. Graham Kennedy and Ray Martin hold the record for the most wins with five awards each.
