Six women are up for the Gold Logie - and Hamish Blake

There have been some far-fetched Gold Logie pitches over the years - but this is an entirely new one.

The 2025 field for the coveted prize has been revealed, and it's dominated by women, up against only one man, Hamish Blake.

The Lego Masters host says he doesn't want to win, as victory would be a PR disaster.

"It would not be a great look if I won, so figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her," he said.

Could this finally be the year for Ten's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! host Julia Morris? Or will Seven's Sonia Kruger add to her Logies haul?

These hosts are vying for television glory against the ABC's Lisa Millar, Lynne McGranger from Home and Away, MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, and A Current Affair host Ally Langdon.

At the announcement of the nominees at the Sydney Opera House on Monday, presenter Tara Rushton momentarily forgot to name the final nominee Sonia Kruger, who was waiting in the wings to be called to the stage.

"I am never going to live this down. I'm surrounded by my idols," said Rushton, apologising.

A new award named for five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin will be presented in 2025 - The Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter.

The nominees are Nine's Ally Langdon, Tara Brown, and Peter Overton, the ABC's David Speers and Sarah Ferguson, and Seven's Michael Usher.

The ABC has received dozens of nominations, including for comedian Guy Montgomery for most popular new talent.

Two-time Logie winner, the children's cartoon Bluey is up for another award for best children's program.

Netflix show Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of conwoman Belle Gibson, received a massive eight nominations.

Voting for the popular awards opened on Monday, with the ballot for the Gold Logie remaining open during the awards presentation itself.

The Logies will be held at The Star Sydney and broadcast live on Seven on Sunday August 3.
