“The line-up of stars nominated for this year’s TV WEEK Logie Awards is fantastic and a great representation of the quality television being produced in Australia,” Ms Byers said. “The TV WEEK Logies are a great opportunity to recognise and applaud the most popular and most outstanding stars and programs on television. The event always creates so much excitement for the industry and this year is no different.”
