Many of Australian television's biggest names have been overlooked for the industry's biggest awards, but one veteran has finally earned a nomination.
A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw is in the running for her first Gold Logie.
"I still can't quite believe it. I never quite imagined myself in this space," she told AAP.
"It's a great honour and it's a thrill, and it's a pleasure."
The nominations for the July 1 TV Week Logie awards were announced on Sunday at The Star on the Gold Coast, which will host the ceremony for the first time.
The Ten Network's Amanda Keller and Grant Denyer, actors Jessica Marais and Rodger Corser, and lifestyle presenter Andrew Winter are also in the race for the Gold.
The Living Room's Keller said it had been a tough time for the family-like crew of the lifestyle program with the cancer battle of host Barry Du Bois.
"We've been through every step together and I think particularly the night Barry told the audience what was going on - I don't think television ever gets more real than that," she told AAP.
Grimshaw, Keller, Denyer and Winter have also been nominated for most popular presenter, alongside former Gold Logie winner Carrie Bickmore.
The ACA host also has a nomination for her interview with disgraced TV gardener Don Burke.
"I feel like we hit all the marks that day and it had a huge response," Ms Grimshaw told AAP.
Ms Grimshaw said she was particularly proud of her interview with Tick and Kate Everett who lost their daughter Dolly to suicide.
"That was a really harrowing interview to do, but a really necessary one," she said.
"It was a huge leap of trust and faith for them to talk us."
Former Bachelorette Sam Frost has been nominated as best new talent after switching to acting on Home and Away, alongside billionaire Andrew Forrest's daughter Sophia Forrest for her role in Nine's Love Child.
In the running for most popular drama are Nine's Doctor Doctor and Love Child, Ten's Offspring, Seven's Home and Away and Showcase's Foxtel.
But the nominations list was also notable for who and what missed out - including Nicole Kidman who was overlooked for her role in Foxtel's Top of the Lake: China Girl.
Her co-star, American actress Elisabeth Moss, has been nominated for most outstanding actress.
Ratings also seemed to count for little, with Ten's Masterchef and its judges snubbed.
Arch-rival program, Seven's My Kitchen Rules, has a chance in the reality program category, along with The Block and Married at First Sight on Nine. But its high-profile judges - Manu Feildel and Pete Evans also luckless.
None of the big breakfast TV names - Karl Stefanovic, David Koch, Sam Armytage and Georgie Gardner, nor Lisa Wilkinson - has scored a nomination.
The Today Show and Sunrise also missed out, but Wilkinson's new show, The Project, has been nominated in the most popular entertainment program category.
Nine's streaming service Stan picked up nominations for its production of Romper Stomper.
