Logies chaos as Sonia Kruger ‘forgotten' in Gold Logie category and American star Kaitlyn Dever nominated for top acting gong
The 2025 TV Week Logie Awards nominations have been announced with a history-breaking six women vying for the coveted Gold Logie. Aussie TV's night of nights is set to return to Sydney's The Star Casino in August with a whopping 23 separate categories honouring the small screen. TV presenters Ally Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Sonia Kruger, Poh Ling Yeow and Lynne McGranger are competing for the Gold Logie – widely regarded as the highest honour in Australian television. The sole male star in the category is Lego Masters host Hamish Blake, who has already won the award twice in 2012 and 2022. On Monday, presenter Tara Rushton officially unveiled this year's nominees at a ceremony in Sydney but made an awkward gaffe after failing to announce Kruger. According to Rushton asked the assembled press to 'put your hands together for all your Gold Logie nominees' – with Kruger still left awkwardly offstage, waiting to be announced. 'Oh, hold on – Sonia Kruger! I am never going to live this down,' said Rushton, as Kruger finally made her entrance. 'I'm so sorry, Sonee,' Rushton added. 'That's me done.' Meanwhile, Blake told the same outlet that winning the award again would be 'the last thing anyone wants to see' and backed his fellow nominees instead. 'I'm just going to put it on record: never should someone win it less than I should win it this year,' he said. I think in this climate, in this day in age, the only guy getting up to win is the last thing anyone wants to see. 'I'm very happy to be nominated, a wonderful bunch of ladies I'm with … my god, it would be just a disaster if I won it.' The mostly female Gold Logie category is possibly an attempt by organisers to address a glaring gender imbalance, with just two winners in the past decade having been women. The relatively early announcements also give nominees a generous six week charm offensive to convince the public to vote for them for the top gong. Perhaps reflecting the dearth of scripted Aussie content currently on screens, this year's categories are largely padded out with game show hosts, competition series and reality shows. Meanwhile, the acting categories have been lumped into broad 'Drama' and 'Comedy' groups which made for some surprising bedfellows. This year, primetime soap Home And Away is in the same category as the critically acclaimed miniseries Territory. While the awards show is designed to honour Aussie performers, at least two foreign stars are up for acting gongs. English actress and Bridget Jones star Sally Phillips is up for the Silver Logie for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her role in the ABC series Austin. Meanwhile, American actress Kaitlyn Dever managed to sneak into the Silver Logie category for Best Lead Actress in Drama for her portrayal of cancer con-woman Belle Gibson in Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar.

2025 Logies nominations: Sonia Kruger, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Lynne McGranger in the running for gold
The full list of nominees for the 65th TV Week Logie Awards has been revealed, and an exciting new category has been announced. Among those vying for the night's top accolade, the coveted Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, are Home and Away star Lynne McGranger and television host Sonia Kruger, known for fronting The Voice and Dancing with the Stars. Julia Morris and Hamish Blake have also been nominated for the title alongside some first-time nominees, including Ally Langdon, Lisa Millar, and Poh Ling Yeow. 'Looking at the list of nominations, it's always thrilling to see the diverse range of Australian stories being told on our screens,' TV Week's Editorial Director Amber Giles said. 'It's especially pleasing to see the breadth of original Australian content on both free-to-air and streaming services. If you see a show or star on the list that you've watched and enjoyed, then don't be shy – get voting.' The nominees for the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards were revealed on Monday morning at the Sydney Opera House ahead of the awards ceremony that will be held at The Star in Sydney on August 3. McGranger, who concluded her nearly 33-year run as Irene on Home and Away earlier in 2025, is the only Gold Logie nominee who will not be attending the event, as she is currently overseas. The Logies has also introduced the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter, which will sit alongside the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent and the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter. 7 News' Michael Usher is nominated in the inaugural category, alongside 9News Peter Overton, 7.30s Sarah Ferguson, 60 Minutes' Tara Brown, A Current Affairs' Ally Langdon, and Insiders' David Speers. The beloved awards ceremony will be broadcast live on Seven and 7Plus with comedian and TV personality, Sam Pang, returning as host.
