Tony Armstrong encourages fans to vote for him to be the first Aboriginal to win a Gold Logie: 'They would be a positive part of history' READ MORE: Sopha Dopha, 19, accuses ABC host Tony Armstrong of 'flirting' By Marta Jary For Daily Mail Australia Published: 11:40, 6 August 2024 | Updated: 11:48, 6 August 2024 e-mail View comments Tony Armstrong has a very good reason for hoping to win the Gold Logie this year. The ABC News Breakfast host has been nominated for the coveted award, which is for the Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, and realises he would be the first Aboriginal person to win if he swing enough votes. 'Viewers should vote for me because they would then be a positive part of history if that campaign is successful, because no Aboriginal person's ever won this award before,' the 34-year-old told TV Tonight this week.
'I think it's a bit late for pats on the back around this, but it'd be cool to be the first' he added. The television personality added that he feels 'humbled' by the prestigious nod. 'Being nominated for a Gold Logie is definitely not something that you set out to do, but when it happens, it's a bit humbling really' he said.
Tony earlier revealed the one thing he doesn't like about being up for the gold gong. He told viewers he did not like smiling in photos used to advertise voting.
