Channel 9 and TV Week have even lifted the ban on celebs using social media during the ceremony, which means fans at home can catch all the action as it goes down and interact with the stars on social media.

Nine will screen the Logies red carpet show at 7pm with the awards ceremony screening from 7.30pm.
