Last year, Sonia Kruger took out top spot for the Gold Logie Award. While she has been nominated once more for the prestigious award, there are other fresh faces lining up to compete for the award.

Larry Emdur

Larry wonders if his nomination for a Gold Logie might be a “prank”.

“I thought that hosting Celebrity Dog School automatically disqualified me from being nominated for any TV-related award ever,” the first-time nominee, 59, jokes to TV WEEK.

“It’s unlikely I’ll win and get to make a speech, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my wife Sylvie and my kids Jye and Tia for their love and support.”

Julia Morris

After being nominated for the top gong in 2022 and 2023, will it be third time lucky for Julia?

“It’s a great enough honour to still be on prime-time television at 56, but to be voted for the Gold alongside my wildlife warrior bestie Robert [Irwin] is the stuff dreams are made of,” the co-host of I’m A Celebrity tells TV WEEK. “Our jungle family will be euphoric.”

Robert Irwin

Conservationist Robert, son of the late Steve Irwin, is “honoured” to be nominated for a Gold Logie.

 “My life is driven by a passion to make the world a better place, spread some positivity and advocate for our natural world,” the 20-year-old says.

“Stepping into a TV hosting role has been such an exciting new way to continue a legacy that’s so important to me. So, to be recognised by TV WEEK in this way is very meaningful personally – and for my mission.”

Tony Armstrong

Former AFL player Tony has been kicking plenty of goals since making the move from professional sport to TV presenting: in 2022 he won the Graham Kennedy Award For Most Popular New Talent, and in 2023 he won the Bert Newton Award For Most Popular Presenter.

Can the 34-year-old take out television’s top gong in 2024?

“What an honour,” Tony says of his nomination for the coveted award. “I also feel very out of my depth. Huge congrats to everyone nominated as well!”

Sonia Kruger

Sonia won her first Gold last year – and made headlines for taking a jab at fellow nominee Hamish Blake in her acceptance speech on the night. She’s now hoping to make it two wins from three nominations.

“One is random, two is a coincidence, three is a trend, people!” the 58-year-old tells TV WEEK.

“To be clear… I’m JOKING! I’m thrilled to be nominated again for the Gold Logie – and, given I flunked my speech last year, it’s no wonder I’ve been asked to repeat a grade.”

Andy Lee

This isn’t Andy’s first Logies rodeo. The presenter and comedian was nominated for Gold in 2015, alongside his long-time partner in comedy, Hamish Blake. Neither won that year, with the award going to Carrie Bickmore. Could this finally be Andy’s moment?

“Are you sure they haven’t confused me with Hamish?” Andy, 43, jokes to TV WEEK. “I’ll understand if they have – it happens all the time”.

Asher Keddie

Asher took home Gold in 2013 for her role as Dr Nina Proudman in Offspring. Can the actress do it again for playing Evelyn Jones in Strife?

“I’ve wholeheartedly enjoyed the work I’ve been doing over the past couple of years, so to be recognised this way and nominated for the Gold Logie is incredibly thrilling,” Asher, 49, says.

“I can’t wait to celebrate this achievement at TV’s night of nights in August.”
