The nominations have been announced for this year’s Logies, and the cast of Home and Away are in the running to win three of the coveted awards.

The 63rd TV Week Logie Awards are set to take place on 30th July 2023, and the cast of the series won’t have far to travel. The ceremony has been held on the Gold Coast since 2018, but this year’s awards are taking place at The Star in Sydney, marking the first time the Logies have been held in Sydney for 37 years.

No stranger to the awards, Home and Away has snagged six nominations across three categories.

Whilst the series itself appears in the list for Most Popular Drama Series, Miniseries or Telemovie, Ray Meagher and James Stewart have been nominated for Most Popular Actor, whilst Emily Symons, Lynne McGranger and Ada Nicodemou are up for Most Popular Actress.

Co-star and Gold Logie winner Georgie Parker took to Instagram, posting a cast photo, with executive producer Julie McGauran and series producer Lucy Addario, to congratulate her fellow actors on their nomination.

James Stewart, Lynne McGranger, and Emily Symons are being nominated for the first time.

In an interview with 7Life, Lynne discussed her nomination and expressed her amazement at being recognized after 31 seasons of the program.

“I still feel like it’s not real,” she admitted. It’s quite bizarre, and I have no idea why. Just like, “Why am I suddenly nominated after 31 years?”

She also expressed her surprise at this year’s nominations all going to the “old people” on the show.

“It’s like they’ve gone, ‘Let’s nominate all the old people on [Home and Away] this year, what a good idea,’” she told the publication.“It’s sort of like old power and it is very exciting.”

Both Ray and Ada are no stranger to the Logies. With his first nomination, Ray took home the Gold Logie in 2010. Eight years later, he took home the Most Popular Actor award.

Additionally, Ada has received nominations for a number of honors, including the Gold Logie in 2001, 2002, and 2006. She was beaten out by Georgie the first two times for her depiction of Terri Sullivan in All Saints, and John Wood won in 2006 for his portrayal of Tom Croydon in Blue Heelers.

The series itself is no stranger to the award ceremony, with the most wins of any other series in Australian history. It has a staggering 48 wins across the series’ history, and over 168 nominations:
