Controversy

The ceremony featured a tribute to the television soap opera Neighbours , a week after it filmed its last scenes. The tribute and recognition of its achievements aired during the presentation for the Most Popular New Talent award, and was presented by former cast members, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Daniel MacPherson. [6] The tribute was not liked by fans online, who thought the serial should have had a larger send-off, with it being described as "embarrassing", "disappointing" and an "insult to the cast and crew for its send-off of the iconic soap" on social media. [4] Neighbours actor Matt Wilson said on Instagram of the tribute, "37 years and this is all we get", while David Knox of TV Tonight reported that the cast "were forced to watch from tables with an obstructed view." [4] Two days later, actor Ryan Moloney (who plays Toadie Rebecchi) said, "We turned up and we did our mandatory three-hour talking to people on the red carpet. When we got in the room, we ended up being split up and stuck on two different tables. It was horrible! Our table was actually even stuck behind the cameras. We couldn't even see the stage. It was incredibly disappointing the package they put together. Daniel and Nat are just absolutely gorgeous people and absolutely nothing against them, but we've got people who have been on TV for nearly 30 years each, and I think probably the least they could do is get us to say something. I mean... we're in the bloody Hall of Fame. That's not how you treat people and a show that's in the Hall of Fame. I mean, good luck to the Logies, really." [7]
