TV Week Logies 2025: A Current Affair host Ally Langdon rates her chances against tough competition
Channel Nine star Ally Langdon is up against some stiff competition for the coveted Gold Logie at this year’s TV WEEK Logie Awards.
The A Current Affair host is pitted against a record five other women in that category, including Masterchef’s Poh Ling Yeow, Home and Away’s Lynne McGranger, Dancing With The Star’s Sonia Kruger, I’m a Celebrity host Julia Morris and ABC journalist and presenter Lisa Millar.
“Hamish Blake is the only man nominated, though we have allowed him into our club,” Langdon said.

Langdon said there was a lovely sense of camaraderie between all of this year’s nominees, “That ‘win at any costs’ mentality — I don’t think anyone nominated has that feeling,” she said.
“I just think we’re sort of all up there just celebrating how cool it is; how we have all worked our butts off — and how we are all well over the age of 40!”
Langdon is nominated five times at this year’s awards. Her Gold nomination is for her work on A Current Affair and the Paris Olympics — she is nominated again for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, an award she took home last year.
A Current Affair and The Olympics are both nominated in their respective categories.
“Those are the ones that I really want; the ones that are a real team effort, as opposed to any kind of personal acknowledgement,” she said.
The award nominations cap off an incredibly busy — but incredibly rewarding — year for the Nine Network journalist.
“I feel like it’s been my most hectic year, and between The Olympics, Parental Guidance, the election, the leaders’ debate, ACA and raising two young kids, it’s been an awesome, but pretty full-on, year,” she said.
“I have got an amazing husband (Langdon is married to journalist Michael Willesee Jnr), and we are 50/50 at home, though he would probably say he does more — and he probably does — and for that I am incredibly grateful.
“This has been one of the best, and most enjoyable, years of my career.”
