The Logies has been hit by controversy after Jessica Marais was listed as the only female to be nominated for a Gold Logie.
Six television personalities have been nominated for the TV Week’s industry prize and Australian TV’s highest accolade.
Marais, 32, goes up against last year’s winner, The Project’s Waleed Aly, his fellow colleague and funnyman Peter Helliar, Family Feud presenter Grant Denyer, Doctor Doctor actor Rodger Corser, and Molly telemovie star Samuel Johnson.
History reveals the Gold Logie has been awarded to 23 women since it was created in 1960.
Marais is being recognised for her work in the Nine Network drama Love Child and the Ten Network drama The Wrong Girl.
