Deborah Mailman has won her sixth Logie Award, this time for Best Lead Actress in a Drama for her role in Total Control.

Her acceptance speech was deeply emotional, as she received the silver Logie award for her outstanding performance.

"Thank you. I actually really wanted this. This role, I've been so proud of and I've done it with the most wonderful people in the world," she said.

"It's the culmination of three seasons, over four-or-so years of filming, a lot happened in that."

"It was a brilliant experience to be part of a production that kept the First Nations narrative in sharp focus. It was driven by complex, intelligent, formidable female characters."

Ms Mailman plays Alex Irving, an Indigenous woman, who gets media attention after an heroic action; confronting a gunman on a domestic violence rampage. Her life then changes when the prime minister recruits her as a senator.

Now, after two seasons, Alex has become a powerbroker in federal politics.

Although Ms Mailman was the only Indigenous person who took home a Logie, she wasn't the only Indigenous actor up for an award that night.

Also nominated that night were Rob Collins for Best Actor in a Drama for his roles in 'Total Control' and 'RFDS', Tony Armstrong for a Gold Logie and Popular TV Presenter for 'ABC News Breakfast', Leah Purcell for Best Supporting Actress in 'The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart', and 'Eddie's Lil Homies' for Best Children's TV Show.

A highlight of the night was Jess Mauboy and Guy Sebastian performing two of Aussie icon John Farnham's hit songs in a tribute to the music legend who was diagnosed with cancer in 2022.
