TV Blackbox readers have honoured the late entertainment and television icon with a posthumous win in the Lifetime Achievement category.
Bert Newton has been honoured by TV Blackbox readers with the Lifetime Achievement award at the TV Blackbox Awards.
Announcer, voice-over artist and friend, Pete Smith, announced Newton’s win during the live stream of the awards on TV Blackbox.
The full list of nominees in the Lifetime Achievement category were:
- Bruce McAvaney
- Ray Meagher
- Dr Harry Cooper
- Liz Hayes
- Bert Newton
A legend in the television, radio, stage and overall entertainment industry, Bert Newton was Australia’s favourite face throughout his entire career. His commitment to everything he worked on was commendable, as was his ability to shine in the spotlight.
He was awarded four Gold Logie awards in his lifetime, but was perhaps more known as the host of the awards show, which he did on 19 occassions.
TV Blackbox readers have deservedly honoured the star with this final commendation at the TV Blackbox Awards.
Vale, Bert Newton.
