Well it wouldn’t be a Media Monday column without mentioning TV’s (self titled) ‘night of nights’. Last night the Australian television industry sprayed themselves orange, dusted off their bow-ties and donned pretty frocks to celebrate another year of Australian telly. Channel Nine’s Scott Cam took home the Gold Logie as Most Popular Personality, and low-budget SBS comedy Housos took out the Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program in a surprise win. Highlights included seeing the difference 25 years has made to Kylie Minogue’s accent (see below):

Lowlights included the microphone presumably being switched off during US pop star Jason Derulo’s four song medley performance meaning nobody could hear a single word he sang – smooth.
