The gloss comes off as Logies hangover worsens

6/05/2008 10:19:00 AM.  | Tim Brunero
You watched the party on TV live, now prepare yourself for the hangover horror stories as fallout from Sunday night’s Logies awards starts to surface.

Not only were ratings down for TV’s night of nights, but one star lost his Logie and another purloined one of the prized statuettes from his former network.

Stephen Curry, who won the most outstanding actor Logie for his role as Graham Kennedy in The King lost the gong at a private party in a hotel room.

And cheese-specialist Daryl Somers was in trouble with Channel Seven, his former network, after he not only collected the award for most popular reality program for Dancing With The Stars – but also took it home.

Not that the program itself didn’t have its rocky moments.

The Footy Show host Garry Lyon was booed as he accepted the award for most popular sports program, which airs on Channel Nine.

The prickly reception follows a recent incident on The Footy Show where serial boofhead Sam Newman groped a lingerie clad mannequin with a picture of award-winning footy reporter Caroline Wilson’s head staple-gunned to it.

And the post-party ratings didn’t flatter the network either, with 200,000 less people tuning in that last year.

The Nine Network was also criticised for not having a single host, despite broadcasting the awards.

Tim Brunero , Couldn't of put the boots in any better on the logie hangover . One point of oversight that could be drawn to your attention which alluded to Gary Lyon being booed on the behalf of serial boof head Sam Newman . Omitted was the serial boof heads ( Nines executives) who week in week out endorse this serial boof head (Mr Newman ) attempting to create an unacceptable genre in sports journalism .Is it any wonder that 9 didn't have a single host , its clear to me as to why!
