The 58th Annual TV Week Logie Awards were held on Sunday 8 May 2016 at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, and broadcast live on the Nine Network.[1] Public voting for the Best Award categories began on 16 November 2015 and ended on 17 January 2016.[2] Nominations were announced on 3 April 2016 along with the winners of the Outstanding Newcomer Awards.

It was announced on 4 November 2015 that the 2016 Logie Awards would reinstate the Logie Award for Best Factual Program, as well as a new publicly-voted category for Best News Panel or a Current Affairs Program. Two new industry-voted awards were also given, Logie Award for Most Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress. Additionally, all publicly-voted category awards changed their title from "Most Popular" to "Best Awards".[3]

Digital Content

The 2016 ceremony will also be the first to accept nominations for original Australian content produced by or airing on streaming media such as Netflix, Presto and Stan.[1] Comedy series No Activity, distributed by Stan, earned 3 nominations, thus becoming the first program premiering on a streaming service to earn a Logie nomination.[4]

The In Memoriam segment was introduced by Jennifer Byrne. Clare Bowditch performed a cover version of The Beatles "In My Life". The following deceased were honoured:

Controversies during Logies night

I’m very upset they're not here. We're sorry they're not here, Fergo and Mac, as they always do, put the Sydney News on first. I know their regrets not being here. It’s a shame.

—said Rob Rashke while accepting the Logie.

The devastation of the 2016 Logies night that Seven's Sydney-based news and weather anchor Mark Ferguson and new sports anchor and Network Ten defector Mel McLaughlin, the winners of the Logie for Most Outstanding News Coverage for the Parramatta Shooting were not present to accept the award personally. TV Week had about a week’s prior knowledge that they've been banned from attending because the Logies is on rival Nine (Ferguson is Sydney-based and is permanently contracted to Seven) – being told that Ferguson's commitments to the Sydney-based 6pm local news bulletin that throws production schedules into havoc and told off by the Sydney bulletin's office manager Chris Willis that both Ferguson and McLaughlin had to stay at Seven’s Martin Place news studios throughout the evening and overnight until dawn with Ferguson presenting the news updates for Sydney, breaking into Seven's long-running ad breaks. Seven had offered to work around these logistics if they could be assured that the Sydney News bulletin would've had won a Logie. TV Week, in the interests of maintaining the security of the Logies results, decided that such information could not be released to the news department in advance, even in the strictest confidence. The Logie was instead accepted on stage by their boss Rob Rashke.
