00:00 This is the moment. This is the moment.

00:03 And the winner of the gold Logie for 2022 is...

00:12 ..Hamish Black!

00:17 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

00:44 Can you sit down? Oh, yeah.

00:47 Do the music again. See if they stand up.

00:50 No. Thank you.

00:52 What a huge honour.

00:54 Look, I know it's very, very late. I will try and be brief.

00:58 Huge honour. I mean, first gold Logie in five years

01:01 to not be decided by Tom Gleeson.

01:03 So that is...that is massive.

01:06 Let's just say, congratulations.

01:08 You have won the 2022 gold Logie.

01:10 As there was no gold Logie in 2021 or 2020,

01:14 they jackpotted, and this counts for three.

01:16 Oh, my God.

01:18 That is...

01:20 Plus, I've already... I actually won one ten years ago.

01:22 So to win four of these is...

01:25 LAUGHTER

01:27 ..that's too much. That is a huge honour.

01:29 Of course, I'd like to thank Channel 9,

01:31 who, in turn, would like to thank me for gold.

01:34 LAUGHTER

01:36 No, that's...

01:38 We're not going to... It's late,

01:40 and we can't spend the whole night boring everyone at home

01:43 with TV terms like "invaluable to the network".

01:46 LAUGHTER

01:48 We get it. We get it. People at home don't.

01:51 LAUGHTER

01:53 I... We'll talk tomorrow, obviously.

01:56 LAUGHTER

01:58 You know, I am really wrapped.

02:00 Obviously, I wouldn't get to be...

02:02 You can't present something without a show to present.

02:04 So everyone involved in Lego Masters, everyone that voted for it,

02:07 everyone involved in Lego Masters, Brickman, you gorgeous bastard.

02:11 CHEERING

02:13 I know I got very emotional accepting an award earlier

02:16 and, you know, nearly cried and stole Brickman's gear.

02:19 And I'm sorry if I was going to steal your shtick, Brickman,

02:22 but this is also absolutely because of you

02:25 and all the people that come together to create Lego Masters.

02:29 My beautiful wife.

02:31 This is... You know, you don't get to stand up here

02:34 unless you have amazing people behind you,

02:36 and you are the most amazing of people.

02:38 Um... You stole my look for tonight and I had to quickly find this,

02:42 but apart from that...

02:44 I think you'd do it better anyway.

02:46 So thank you, honey.

02:48 And, you know, I would also like to thank...

02:51 You know, a little shout-out to our kids.

02:54 They obviously can't be here.

02:56 They obviously...

02:58 Sorry, our kids and kids in general, who obviously appreciate Lego.

03:02 But I'm not here... Why I'm here to play favourites.

03:04 My kids are the favourite of all kids.

03:06 (LAUGHTER)

03:08 I... You know, they can't be here.

03:11 They got last-minute fake IDs and they've gone clubbing.

03:15 (LAUGHTER)

03:17 But I know that they'll watch this tomorrow

03:20 when I make them on YouTube.

03:22 (LAUGHTER)

03:24 So to Rudi and Sunny, you know, obviously winning an award is nice,

03:27 but, you know, the greatest prize...

03:29 Sorry, close your ears, Loggie.

03:31 The greatest prize is obviously getting to be your dad,

03:33 so thank you for that.

03:35 I said nothing. I said nothing.

03:37 You're the most important.

03:39 (LAUGHTER)

03:41 But honestly, look, it is a funny thing winning the gold, Loggie.

03:45 You know, I know...

03:47 You know, I know it's very late.

03:49 The kids might actually be up for breakfast by now.

03:51 They might be watching it live.

03:53 But I think...

03:55 I was thinking about it today.

03:57 You don't do anything for the rest of the year.

03:59 What you actually win sort of is this moment.

04:02 And I think this moment is actually about...

04:04 There's been a lot of different things over the years.

04:06 I kind of think this moment's about getting to speak, if you can -

04:09 and I think I can, 'cause I got four -

04:11 (LAUGHTER)

04:13 ..kind of on behalf of the room.

04:15 And I think the greatest thanks we would like to give as a room

04:18 is to the people at home,

04:20 whether you watch Lego Masters or, you know,

04:22 Double Points if you watch Lego Masters,

04:24 but any of the shows that are represented here tonight

04:28 by this industry.

04:30 It has been a really weird last couple of years

04:33 for the TV industry.

04:35 Really tough.

04:37 I know I speak on behalf of everybody here when I say, like,

04:39 we're so grateful to get to do what we do in this room.

04:42 We know we're super lucky to keep working.

04:44 We know we're super lucky to have got to keep working

04:47 and to do what we love, and we really couldn't do it

04:49 without the people that are watching at home.

04:51 And if you're watching this, you're an insomniac.

04:54 (LAUGHTER)

04:56 You're somebody that supports Australian TV,

04:59 and we would not be here without you.

05:02 So thank you to the people at home. Thanks very much, everybody.

05:04 Have a good night.

05:06 (APPLAUSE)

05:08 (APPLAUSE)

05:10 (applause)

05:12 (applause)
