The nominees for the 66th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards have been announced, celebrating the best of the best on Aussie TV. Home-grown talent including Jacob Elordi, Aisha Dee, Yerin Ha and Thomas Weatherall have all received nominations, while seven of the country’s biggest names are competing for the coveted Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian television.
A Current Affair presenter Ally Langdon, MasterChef judge Poh Ling Yeow and ABC journalist Lisa Millar have all been nominated for their second year in a row, while I’m A Celebrity host Julia Morris is now a five-time Gold Logie nominee.
Tipping Point Australia host Todd Woodbridge and three-time Logies host Sam Pang are both first-time nominees, and Robert Irwin — who is making history as the youngest host of the Logie Awards this year — has received his second nomination in the prestigious category.
Gold Logie nominees share their reactions
With regular nominees (and former winners) Hamish Blake and Sonia Kruger noticeably absent from the list, this marks the first year since 2018 that all of the Gold Logie nominees are vying for their first-ever win.
“Last year I kept saying, ‘This is only going to happen once in my life’, so now it’s happened again, it honestly has not sunk in. I’m in shock,” Lisa told PEDESTRIAN.TV at Monday morning’s nominations event.
Ally admitted to P.TV that it feels “as awkward this time as it did last time” to be nominated for the second year in a row, while Poh confessed that she feels “a little less intimidated”.
“I said it last year, and I’ll say it again, I’m in such beautiful company, and I would be so happy to lose to any of them,” the MasterChef contestant-turned-judge gushed. “I have such great admiration for all of them, so that’s a really nice feeling to have to begin with.”
Meanwhile, Sam insisted that his decision not to host the Logies for a fourth time came well before he knew he was nominated for the top award.
“I only found out about this, I think, last week, and the hosting decision was made months ago,” he said. “I had a great three years, but that was enough.”
The full list of nominations for the 2026 Logie Awards
The Logie Awards have also introduced a new category this year, the Bruce McAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter, with Danika Mason, Eddie McGuire, James Bracey, Jelena Dokic, Ricky Ponting and the man himself, Bruce McAvaney, all nominated.
The 2026 Logie Awards are set to take place on Sunday, 16 August, at The Star Sydney, and broadcast live on Seven and 7plus.
