Features > Neighbours at the Logies 2005

In a night that belonged to Network Ten, Neighbours was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame at the 47th TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday May 1st, Australian television's biggest and most prestigious awards show. In a ceremony at Melbourne's Crown Palladium, the series was honoured with the special award to mark its twentieth anniversary. And in tribute, the cast took to the stage to perform a special musical number which featured elements of the theme tune as well as Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) rapping about the success of the show in Australia and overseas. There was further celebration as Natalie Blair, who plays Carmella Cammeniti on the show, picked up a Logie for Most Popular New Female Talent. Natalie had previously admitted that she had been hugely excited by merely being nominated for a Logie.

While Ben Nicholas (Stingray Timmins) failed to win the Most Popular New Male Talent award, there was a slight Neighbours connection, in that Home and Away’s Chris Hemsworth – whose brother Luke Hemsworth played Nathan Tyson on Neighbours in 2001 – was the winner of the category. And in another Neighbours link, The O.C., which stars former Ramsay Street veteran Alan Dale (Jim Robinson), was chosen as Most Popular Overseas Programme.
