Gold Logie rivals walk the red carpet together

Australian television’s night of nights has officially kicked off, with the first run of celebrities moments away from hitting the red carpet ahead of the 64th annual TV Week Logie Awards.

It’s going to be a night to remember for many but especially for those nominated for the 2024 Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.

Those hoping to claim the top gong this year include Andy Lee, Asher Keddie, Julia Morris, Larry Emdur, Robert Irwin, Sonia Kruger and Tony Armstrong.

The real competition might be between I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here co-hosts Morris and Irwin who are vying for the title of Australia’s most beloved TV personality.

Irwin’s nomination made him the youngest male ever to be nominated for the prestigious Gold Logie.

The pair who instantly wowed audiences with their on-screen friendship in the jungle arrived in style on Sunday, with Morris wearing a stunning one sleeve red satin dress while Irwin opted for a a black tuxedo and bowtie.

Meanwhile, Kruger could go back to back with the Gold Logie, having taken out the prestigious award last year.

The Dancing with the Stars presenter is also co-hosting this year’s red carpet alongside her on screen presenting partner, Dr Chris Brown.

But Armstrong - the popular ABC sport presenter - also has his eyes on the prize hoping to round out his Logie awards with the biggest of them all.

It comes after he took out most popular new talent in 2022, then the Silver Logie for most popular presenter in 2023.

Comedian Sam Pang is again hosting the awards show at The Star Sydney after a successful first go at being master of ceremonies last year.

Meanwhile, Chanel 7’s veteran host, Edmur, is also up for the top award said he’s enjoying his moment in the spotlight.

“The reality is it would mean the world to me,” Edmur told The Daily Telegraph.

“But at the same time, it doesn’t mean a lot.

“I think that the Gold has always been reserved for the rock stars in the business. I’ve never considered myself that.”

The first few celebrities began hitting the red carpet on Sunday afternoon, including Nicole Kidman’s niece, Lucia Hawley, who donned a timeless white sleeveless gown for the event.

Singer Elly-May Barnes - the daughter of Jimmy Barnes - also graced the red carpet in a striking kimono inspired black and white dress.

More to come.
