After three nominations Asher Keddie won the Gold Logie for her role in Network Ten's Offspring.
Keddie had twice before been twice nominated for a Gold Logie.

"Channel Ten is extremely proud of Offspring and could not be more supportive of us," Keddie told AAP.
"They don't interfere, they trust us and I wish nothing but the best for the network."
The news of Keddie's win was released prematurely by two online news sites, in a repeat slip up of 2012.
