Just five days to go! - by Alice Murphy

Everything you need to know about the 2019 Gold Logie nominees

The biggest night in Australian TV is almost upon us.

Yes, it's nearing that time of year again, when the stars of Australia's small screen put on their glad rags and rope in their glam squads for the 61st annual TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday, June 30 at 7.30pm.

This year the red carpet will be rolled out at The Star Gold Coast in Queensland, with the biggest Aussie celeb arrivals broadcast on the Nine Network and 9Now.

Editor Thomas Woodgate also confirmed one extra nominee will be added to each category this awards show.

But the question on everyone's lips is who will return home with a coveted trophy, and, most importantly, who will nab the holy grail that is the Gold Logie?

Australian TV viewers have been naming their favourites for weeks, but don't worry - you've still got time!

Live voting closes at the end of the red carpet on Sunday night!

To help you make the difficult decision, we've got the low down on every potential Gold Logie winner nominated in the Most Popular Personality category.

We hope you enjoyed the show this evening! Did you have a favourite story?🌿

Eve Morey - Neighbours, Network 10

Eve starred as Sonya Rebecchi on Ramsay Street for almost a decade, before her long running character contracted ovarian cancer and passed away.

The down to earth actress recently admitted she couldn't believe she had been nominated for a Gold Logie, telling the Sunday Telegraph: "I died at the end of last year - I'm not even on the show anymore. So this nomination came completely out of nowhere."

"To be recognised for Gold, it's crazy. I didn't think people even watched the show!" she joked.

Eve's old alma mater Neighbours has also been nominated for Most Popular Drama.

"It's a huge honour and I just want to make it fun! 

"I want to make it entertaining regardless of what happens on Sunday night!"

Sam also revealed he's set his sights on a cameo in Seven's Home and Away.

Tom Gleeson - Hard Quiz, ABC

This year's most controversial hopeful, comedian Tom Gleeson, rubbed his fellow Gold Logie nominees the wrong way with a smear campaign to help him take the title.

The Hard Quiz host has taken swipes at each nominee in targeted ad attacks, News.com.au reports.

The outspoken funny man has branded Costa Georgiadis an "imposter" and called the idea of Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac taking Gold "a travesty".

Gleeson spoke to Stellar Magazine about his hopes for victory, saying: "The idea of winning a Gold Logie is so preposterous that I have to have it.

"It's so stupid and it makes me laugh so much, that it makes me want it."

Gleeson's Hard Quiz is also in the running for Most Popular Entertainment Program.

Waleed Aly - The Project, Network 10

Long running Project host Waleed Aly is practically part of the furniture at Network 10.

Waleed previously won a Gold Logie in 2016 and wowed viewers with his heartfelt acceptance speech.

This year, the anchor received the coveted nod after a year of impressive interviews and world class journalism.

Waleed also received a nod for Most Popular Presenter along with his co-host Carrie Bickmore.

The Project has been nominated for Most Popular Panel or Current Affairs Program.
