Julia Morris fights for the 2025 Gold Logie Award with career flashbacks

It’s the fourth time Julia Morris has been nominated for the TV WEEK Gold Logie Award, but in 2025, she has an interesting campaign strategy. 

Rather than asking fans to cast their vote, the bubbly I’m A Celebrity host is showing off her incredible 40 years in television. 

“I’m so bad at campaigning, one year I just showed myself doing chores,” Julia told The Weekly

From a 1997 campaign for Parise Mayonnaise, a modern-rock cover of We Don’t Need Another Hero with David Hobson, and presenting at the 2016 Logies, she’s taken on many roles in her career.

“My garage flooded and I had two massive tubs of VHS tapes – you know, those ones that you move from house to house and never do anything about?”

“I wanted to show a breadth of my work because I think people will have just forgotten!” 

While she is gunning for the Gold in 2025, Julia joked it’s “disappointing” that all of this year’s nominees are “really worthy.” 

Returning nominees for the 2025 Gold Logie award include Hamish Blake and Sonia Kruger. Joining them are Lisa Millar, Lynne McGranger, Poh Ling Yeow, and Ally Langdon.

“The list of nominees, certainly for the gold this year is beyond exemplary,” she reflected. “It’s a list I am incredibly proud to stand among, and in shock that anyone would associate me with any one of those glorious humans. So, it’s a very much a win for everybody.”

However, Julia is hearing a lot of jokes that she’s really just “campaigning for the Lynne McGranger Gold Logie Award.”

But whether Julia win or not on the night of the Logie Awards, Julia feels she’s already received the best award – her supportive daughters who love her through thick and thin.

“I know that my teenagers think I’m amazing and that is not a common thing that parents say,” she admitted of her daughters, Ruby and Sophie who she shares with ex-husband Dan Thomas. 

The love and admiration from her children is clear, but it unfortunately hasn’t been smooth sailing for Julia’s children.

“If anyone is absolutely at the coal face of what it feels like in the slipstream of somebody on television, there’s lots of really unpleasant parts,” she revealed. 

“There’s lots of fallout for the family. [But] if anybody knows the full story, and what I have worked through, it’s them. So they’re just like ‘It doesn’t matter what Australia thinks’.” 

“That is literally ‘award’ enough.”

When are the 2025 Logie Awards?

The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards will take place on Sunday August 3 at The Star Sydney. The live broadcast will air on Channel 7 and 7Plus, at 7pm AEST.
