The 57th Annual TV Week Logie Awards was held on Sunday 3 May 2015 at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, and broadcast live on the Nine Network.[1] The red carpet arrivals coverage was hosted by Shelley Craft and Jules Lund.[2]

Public voting for the "most popular" categories began on 12 January 2015 and ended on 22 February 2015.[3][4] Nominations were announced on 22 March 2015.[5] Television presenter Carrie Bickmore won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. Love Child received the most nominations with seven, followed by INXS: Never Tear Us Apart with six. Hamish & Andy's Gap Year South America and Home and Away both received four nominations. Home and Away was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame.[6]

Changes

On 24 October 2014, TV Week announced that it would be restoring the Most Outstanding Comedy Program category to the 2015 Logie Awards.[7] The industry-voted category had been absent from Logie ceremonies since 2009 and TV Week said the decision to bring it back came after consulting with the industry, as well as listening to feedback from readers, viewers and voters.[7] TV Week editor Emma Nolan stated, "The standard of Australian comedies has been outstanding in 2014 – and we felt that shows in that genre deserved to be judged up against each other in their own category.[7] In recent years, comedy nominees had competed with other genre shows in the Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program category.[7]
