When he accepted the award, McGregor didn't mince words.
"I didn't prepare a speech," he said. "I thought it would be arrogant."
"If you win most popular, who do you thank? Thanks to me, I guess.
"Is that 45 seconds?
"I'm single, see you at the afterparty."
The nominees for Most Popular Actor were Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road), Guy Pearce (Jack Irish), Luke McGregor (Rosehaven), Ray Meagher (Home And Away), Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor), and Ryan Moloney (Neighbours).
Pacquola was also nominated, for Most Popular Actress, but lost out to Deborah Mailman.
