Logie Award for Most Popular New Male Talent


The Silver Logie for Most Popular New Male Talent was an award presented at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. It was first awarded at the 41st Annual TV Week Logie Awards ceremony, held in 1999. The award is given to honour a standout performance of a new male talent on an Australian program. It may or may not be his first television appearance, however it is his first major television role. The winner and nominees of Most Popular New Male Talent were chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website. This award category was eliminated in 2014 and replaced by the gender non-specific category, Most Popular New Talent. Home and Away has the most recipients of this award, with a total of seven wins, followed by Neighbours with two wins.
