Ten could get a sugar hit at the Logies A DISASTROUS year for Network Ten could be washed away in a shower of Logie awards at Sunday night's annual ceremony. The beleaguered station is in the running for the three main awards, while its acclaimed drama series Puberty Blues has five nominations. Ten could also get a sugar hit from its telemovie Underground: The Julian Assange Story; drama series Offspring; reality shows MasterChef, Bondi Vet and Bondi Rescue; and mini series Bikie Wars: Brothers In Arms. Any win will salvage some pride for Ten, which over the past 12 months has sacked executives and dumped shows because of poor ratings. Leading Ten's charge for the Gold Logie at Melbourne's Crown Casino on Sunday night is actress Asher Keddie. The Offspring star, who has been a Gold Logie nominee for the past two years, has firmed from an $11 outsider into a red hot $1.50 favourite. Ten's other Gold Logie hope is The Project host Carrie Bickmore, who was also nominated in 2012. Standing in between the women and the gold are comedians Hamish Blake, Andy Lee, Adam Hills and Home And Away star Steve Peacocke. For Bickmore, being nominated for the Gold Logie is a buzz, not just for her, but for Ten, as well as her co-hosts on The Project. "It's a nice recognition that people are watching the show and enjoying it," Bickmore told AAP. Keddie is also in contention for a Silver Logie as Most Popular Actress alongside fellow Offspring star Deborah Mailman, who also appeared in ABC productions Mabo and Redfern Now. In fact, Offspring also offers up two Silver Logie nominees for the Most Popular Actor, with Matthew Le Nevez and Lachy Hulme in the running. Hulme also was the lead in Howzat: Kerry Packer's War! on the Nine Network, which is up for the Most Popular and Most Outstanding Miniseries or Telemovie awards. Puberty Blues teenage star Brenna Harding is nominated for both the peer-voted Graham Kennedy Award for new talent and the Most Popular New Female talent. The '70s-based series is also up for Most Outstanding and Most Popular Drama Series while co-star Ashleigh Cummings is in contention for Most Popular Actress. Harding will break away from her Year 11 studies at St George Girls High School in NSW to attend her first Logie awards. "I've already arranged to have Monday off," Harding told AAP. The teachers are asking me more about the Logies than my friends. One of the odd nominations this year is US rocker Joel Madden for Most Popular New Male Talent. Madden, who starred as a mentor on The Voice, is vying for the same award as Alex Williams (Underground: The Julian Assange Story) Robert Irwin (Steve Irwin's Wildlife Warriors), Will McDonald (Home And Away) and David Campbell (Mornings).
