Nominees for the 63rd TV WEEK Logie Awards were announced this morning at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, at an event hosted by Seven's Kylie Gillies, Nine's Sylvia Jeffreys and Network 10's Tristan MacManus.
Famous for its sparkling harbour and golden beaches, Sydney will welcome back the Logies for the first time in 37 years. On Sunday 30 July, The Star Sydney, in the heart of the iconic harbour city, will roll out the red carpet for Australian television's night of nights, while celebrating the city's thriving creative arts and entertainment industry.
The nominees in this year's Most Popular and Most Outstanding categories reinforce the remarkable talent on Australian screens and the gripping storytelling and world class production values across entertainment, drama, comedy, reality, lifestyle, current affairs, factual and sport.
This morning the TV WEEK Logie Awards also announced two exciting additions for 2023 - a return of the race for Gold, with a twist, and an incredible opportunity for fans of Australian TV to experience television's night of nights live at The Star.
