Hamish Blake (Lego Masters Australia), Morris (I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!), Emdur (The Chase Australia and The Morning Show), Irwin (I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!), Kruger (Dancing With The Stars, The Voice Australia and Big Brother), and Armstrong (ABC News Breakfast) will vie for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter.

The revamped format of Australian television’s night of nights, which will be hosted by Sam Pang from 7pm on Sunday, August 18, will feature only three Popular categories with all remaining categories retitled as Best.

Streaming services from Netflix, Binge, Stan, Prime Video and Disney+ dominated the drama and comedy nominees, and also accounted for half of the documentary nominations.
