Why Grant Denyer mightn't need Tom Gleeson's help to win gold

The ABC's Tom Gleeson (R) has launched a campaign for Grant Denyer to win the Gold Logie this weekend.

The ABC's Tom Gleeson is campaigning for Grant Denyer to win the Gold Logie this weekend, but a look at past winners suggests he might not even need any help.

We divided nearly 60 years of Gold Logie winners into four categories: male presenter, female presenter, male actor and female actor.

Denyer's show Family Feud may have been cancelled already, but as a male TV presenter he has a head start; they have won the award more than 50 per cent of the time.

But this year, network could make the difference. Channel Nine dominates the Gold Logies, giving nominee Tracy Grimshaw a good chance.

And the winner is...
