Longtime SBS World News presenter Lee Lin Chin will be vying for the Gold Logie for the most popular television personality against The Project co-hosts Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly, The Block host Scott Cam, Essie Davis from the ABC and Family Feud's Grant Denyer.
Her inclusion is the first time SBS has been in contention for the Gold Logie in the station's 36-year history, and caps off a successful campaign by SBS program, The Feed, who crusaded to have Ms Chin nominated by pushing the #LeeLinforLogiesWin hashtag.
She will also be vying for the Presenter award for her work on The Feed.
Ms Chin has held several posts since joining SBS in 1992, and currently hosts the weekend editions of SBS World News.
Alex Dimitriades was nominated for for Most Outstanding Actor for his role in SBS drama, The Principal.
With the nomination of two hosts of the Project, co-host of The Project, Peter Helliar, jokingly said there may be rivalry in the newsroom
"It's going to be very awkward at The Project for the next month," he said.
Bickmore said she was still on a high from last year's win and slapped down any talk of professional rivalry between her and Aly for the gong.
"I feel we need there to be a rivalry to fulfil everyone else's expectations," she said. "There genuinely is nothing."
When it came to nominations for each network, ABC led the race with 31, followed by Nine, 25, Seven, 22 and Ten, 20.
Seven's 800 Words and Nine's Love Child both received nods for the viewer-voted best drama and peer-voted most outstanding drama series, as did Foxtel's A Place To Call Home.
Ky Baldwin, 14, star of Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door, was awarded the The Graham Kennedy Breakthrough Award.
Most Outstanding Newcomers were named as 800 Words star Melina Vidler and Joel Jackson, for his role in Seven's mini-series Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door.
Streaming service Stan also got its first nods with Dan Wyllie, from No Activity nominated for most outstanding supporting actor and the show also getting a nod for most outstanding comedy. It's the first time original Australian programs from subscription streaming services have been considered for TV's night of nights.
