Women dominate Gold Logie 2025 nominations as new award honouring legend revealed
Women have dominated the Gold Logie field, scoring six of the seven nominations, with Sonia Kruger nominated for her second and two-time Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake the sole male contender.
Joining Blake and Kruger on the Gold Logie list were Julia Morris, Ally Langdon, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow and Lynne McGranger.
Meanwhile, the ABC has once again triumphed in the nominations, with 44 in total, including 38 nods in the best categories, with nominations across drama, comedy, children's and entertainment.
Netflix was the most awarded streamer, with Apple Cider Vinegar and Territory scoring a total of 15 nominations.
Meanwhile, five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin has been honoured with the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. A publicly voted award, it stands alongside the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter and the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent.
Martin announced the nominees – Ally Langdon (Nine), David Speers (ABC), Michael Usher (Seven), Peter Overton (Nine), Sarah Ferguson (ABC) and Tara Brown (Nine) – for his award at the Sydney Opera House on Monday morning.
More than ever, the nominations felt like a changing of the guard, with acting heavyweights and serial nominees, Asher Keddie, David Wenham, Claudia Karvan, William McInnes and Sam Reid, all overlooked. Instead, rising stars were lauded such as Apple Cider Vinegar's Alycia Debnam-Carey and Aisha Dee, The Newsreader's Michelle Lim Davidson, Territory's Sam Corlett, and Stan's Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Movie's Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst. That pair's ABC satire Optics was also nominated for best comedy.
Netflix ruled the 'best' categories, with cancer conwoman drama Apple Cider Vinegar the most successful show, with eight nominations, including best miniseries or telemovie and best lead actress in a drama for US star Kaitlyn Dever, who starred as Belle Gibson, and Alycia Debnam-Carey, who played terminally ill wellness guru Milla Blake.
It was closely followed by Territory, the 'Dallas with dingoes' outback romp, which scored seven nominations, including best drama, best lead actress for Anna Torv and best lead actor nods for Michael Dorman, Robert Taylor and Sam Corlett.

Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair has married her longtime partner in a lavish Bali wedding. The network's European correspondent exchanged vows with Mitch Burke on a clifftop with panoramic ocean views on Friday, with guests sharing photos of the celebrations on social media. Sinclair, who moved to London from Sydney late last year, wore an elegant spaghetti strap silk gown, and opted for a broadbrimmed hat over a traditional veil. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair married her partner Mitch Burke in Bali. The couple said 'I do' at a stunning venue on a cliff. Burke, for his part, wore a white tuxedo jacket with a black bow tie. The aisle, which Sinclair walked down with her mother, was set atop a pool of water and lined with bouquets of flowers. The aisle was adorned with flowers. The couple said 'I do' under an archway of flowers with the sweeping ocean view in the background. Changing into a bubble hem mini dress for the reception, Sinclair's guests shared videos of the fairy-light covered dance floor and fireworks display. Among guests included Sinclair's Nine colleagues Gabrielle Boyle, Lizzie Pearl, Ashley Carter and Tim Davies. An outfit change for the reception. The pair danced the night away. It comes after Sinclair held her hen's party in Canggu the night before her wedding day, sharing wild photos and videos as she danced the night away with a group of friends who were all dressed in pink. 'I have the best family and friends in the world,' Sinclair wrote. Sinclair's hen's party was held the night before the wedding. The journalist, who started her career with Southern Cross Austereo in Tasmania, first joined Nine's Perth bureau in 2016, before moving to Sydney two years later. Sinclair took up a role with A Current Affair in 2021, and was later promoted to her current correspondent gig which she started in September last year. Hannah is the European correspondent for Nine. Sharing the news on Instagram at the time, Sinclair said working in London was her 'dream job'. ''She was unstoppable, not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.' This quote really resonates with me as I reflect on how far I've come in my 10 year career as a journalist,' she wrote. 'Today's my last day for a white with the amazing team at (A Current Affair). Next week I start my dream job in London as Europe Correspondent for Nine, and boy, am I excited.' Originally published as Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding

Nine unveils management shake-up in TV, Stan
Nine Entertainment head of streaming and broadcasting Amanda Laing has unveiled a new leadership structure that she hopes will better integrate the company's brands, with the heads of the television wing's sport, entertainment and news units to take on responsibility for content on Stan. On Friday, about five months since Laing was appointed as managing director of Nine's newly formed streaming and broadcast division, the former Foxtel executive announced a raft of leadership changes, including new roles in which several veteran TV directors will report to her. Broadly speaking, Laing's plan for the division includes giving the heads of various departments control of television output; its paid-streaming service Stan; and its free catch-up website 9Now, including deciding which content is best suited to each platform, as part of changes that will take effect from July 1. Nine is owner of this masthead. Driving efficiencies and drawing on resources across the company is central to the changes, including a merger of production teams from Stan Sports and the historic Wide World of Sports. Laing will lead a program to further grow the sport offering, with the aim of increasing advertising and subscription revenues as well as gaining additional broadcast rights and partnerships. Michael Healy, who has served as Channel 9's director of television since 2010, will move into an executive director of entertainment role that includes responsibility for the commissioning of all content across TV and streaming. This effectively puts him in charge of decisions for flagship shows such as Married at First Sight, Lego Masters and The Block, as well as for Australian original dramas and other series on Stan. Cailah Scobie, chief content officer at Stan, will take on the expanded role of executive director of entertainment content acquisitions, which will involve negotiating with studios to secure the rights for series, including big-name US-produced shows key to driving subscriptions and viewer numbers, for both streaming and broadcast television. Fiona Dear, Nine's director of news and current affairs, fresh from launching a dedicated long-form current affairs and investigations unit, will take on responsibility for streaming services as the company hopes to better unite the work of journalists across its broadcast and publishing divisions, which include The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review. The plan aims to build on the collaborations between print journalists from the mastheads working with programs such as 60 Minutes that have occurred since Nine's merger with Fairfax Media. No departures or redundancies were announced as part of the changes, which were explained to staff on Friday. Additionally, the company will soon recruit a chief strategy officer and chief marketing officer for the streaming and broadcast divisions, while Nine's state managing directors in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia will now also report to Laing.
