Australian television’s night of nights is back, baby.
The nominees for the 2022 TV Week Logie Awards have been announced, marking the first nominations in three years, after COVID cancelled the 2020 and 2021 awards.
It’s an exciting time for everyone involved in the Logies, perhaps none moreso than this year’s Gold Logie nominees, which are Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Karl Stefanovic, Melissa Leong, Ray Meagher, Sonia Kruger, and Tom Gleeson.
This year, the Logies will introduce a Silver Logie category, for Most Popular Australian Actor Or Actress in an International Program, with nominees including Succession‘s Sarah Snook and The White Lotus’ Murray Bartlett.
They’re also set to rename an award in honour of Bert Newton, who passed away in October 2021. The award will be named the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter.
In a statement, Patti Newton said: “We are so thrilled Bert is being recognised this way and will be part of the Logies every year moving forward. It was such a big part of his career and he just loved it, so I know he would be pretty pleased with this honour.”
Meanwhile, TV Week editor Stephen Downie commended the “amazing year of television” we’ve had, as well as the “wonderful list of nominees”.
“This year’s nominations showcase our television industry’s incredible creativity and depth of talent,” Downie said. “Congratulations to everyone nominated. I can’t wait to see who takes home a Logie on June 19.”
Voting for the awards is now open at tvweeklogiesvote.com, and will remain open right up until the end end of the Logies red carpet on June 19, 2022.
