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.
