Nominations for this year's Logie awards have blown wide open with the
deluge of new serials and mini-series introduced to television screens last
year.
While old favourites All Saints and Home and Away are in the thick of
nominations, Channel Seven's Always Greener, Ten's The Secret Life of Us and
Channel Nine's McLeod's Daughters have all been given nods.
The Secret Life of Us has received nine nominations, just behind All Saints
with 10.
Always a ceremony to garner controversy, the axed ABC series Love Is a Four
Letter Word has been nominated for Most Outstanding Drama Series and Most
Outstanding Actress for Kate Beahan.
Gold Logie nominations have gone to a raft of new and old talent, with last
year's winner Georgie Parker up for another gong.
Blue Heelers stalwart John Wood has his sixth consecutive nomination, while
Home and Away's Ada Nicodemou has received her second consecutive nomination.
Surprise entrants in the Gold race include All Saints' Libby Tanner and talk
show host Rove McManus.
And this year is the first time a reality show contestant has made the
successful transition to television drama, with Big Brother's Blair McDonough
being nominated for Best New Male Talent on Neighbours.
Australia's highest paid female radio announcer, 2DayFM's Wendy Harmer, will
host the 44th annual awards in Melbourne on April 28. Guest artists will include
Latin pop diva Shakira and Bold and the Beautiful soapie stalwart Ronn Moss.
TV Week assistant editor Miranda Herron confirmed Shakira, whose Wherever,
Whenever sat at the top of the Australian charts for six weeks, would perform.
Ronn Moss, who's been on the US soapie since it began in 1987, will make a guest
appearance.
