Foxtel’s courtroom drama The Twelve has led the charge in the nominees for this year’s TV Week Logie Awards, receiving nine nods including Most Outstanding Drama Series and Most Popular Drama Program.
Sam Neill is nominated in the Most Popular and Most Outstanding Actor categories while co-stars Marta Dusseldorp and Kate Mulvany feature in the Most Outstanding Actress field. Brooke Satchwell and Pallavi Sharda are nominated in the Most Outstanding Supporting Actress category, while Hamish Michael was recognised with a nomination for Most Outstanding Supporting Actor.
Also well represented is the ABC Mystery Road prequel, Mystery Road: Origin, which has seven nominations.
Lead actor Mark Coles Smith joins Neill in the fields for Most Outstanding and Most Popular Actor categories, and is also one of three ABC personalities up for the Gold Logie alongside Australian Story presenter Leigh Sales and Mad as Hell host Shaun Micallef.
They will compete against The Bachelor host Osher Gunsberg, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars and Big Brother presenter Sonia Kruger, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! presenter and Taskmaster contestant Julia Morris, and last year’s winner Hamish Blake, of Lego Masters Australia.
Other notable new entries this year include Netflix high school drama Heartbreak High, which is up for Most Popular Drama Program, with stars Ayesha Madon and Chloe Hayden to contend Graham Kennedy Award For Most Popular New Talent.
Voting will open for all popular awards at 9am on Monday and remain open until the end of the red carpet telecast on July 30 at 7.30pm, except for the Gold Logie Award, which, for the first time ever, will stay open throughout the telecast and close at 10.30pm.
The 63rd TV Week Logie Awards will be held July 30 at The Star in Sydney, marking the first time the city has hosted the awards in 37 years. Comedian Sam Pang will host the ceremony.
