Fed: Logies get a femine touch tonight
It's Logies Day today and girl power appears to have taken over.
For the first time in the event's history, Australian television's self-proclaimednight of nights will be hosted solely by a woman.
Australia's highest-paid female radio announcer, WENDY HARMER will host the event tonight.
The only other woman to be involved in the MC role was NONI HAZELHURST, who sharedthe limelight with ANDREW DADDO in 1995.
The choice of HARMER upholds a recent trend towards comedians hosting the awards --after praise for the irreverence of SHAUN MICALLEF and ANDREW DENTON.
And with Channel Ten's ROVE MCMANUS nominated for the Gold Logie, it may be the firsttime for more than half a decade that a personality, rather than an actor, takes out theaward.
The nominations for Gold Logie in the Most Popular Categories at the 44th TV Week LogieAwards are ROVE MCMANUS - for Rove Live; ADA NICODEMOU - for Home and Away; GEORGIE PARKER- for All Saints; LIBBY TANNER - also for All Saints; and JOHN WOOD - for Blue Heelers.
The Logies will air on Channel Nine tonight.
