Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, and Jacob Elordi are among the top contenders for Favourite Actress and Actor, demonstrating the global appeal of Australian talent. Chloe Hayden is in the running for Favourite Media Personality, following her 2022 win for Best Actress. She is joined by notable personalities such as Jimmy Rees, Sophie Monk, Em Rusciano, the Shameless Podcast, and Abbie Chatfield, the latter having won Best TV Personality last year.
The awards have introduced a new category this year, Favourite Australian Sporting Moment, highlighting unforgettable events from Australia’s sports scene, including the 2023 AFL and NRL Grand Finals, the Matilda’s World Cup journey, the Australian Diamonds’ World Cup victory, Carlton’s AFL finals appearance, and Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula 1 comeback.
In the Australian Digital Creator category, previous nominees Kat Clark, Luke & Sassy Scott, and Anna Paul return, joined by newcomers such as Sofia Ligeros, Maddy MacRae, Bridey Drake, Georgia Productions, and Indy Clinton.
