Kitty Flanagan's ABC office comedy Utopia picked up four nominations, and drama The Newsreader another four, with nods for actors Sam Reid, Anna Torv and Michelle Lim Davidson.
ABC's Bay of Fires, Total Control, and Prime Video's The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart also picked up four nominations each.
The 2024 awards have separated out the categories for drama and comedy, and created an additional award for news programs.
The usual "Most Popular" and "Most Outstanding" categories have been re-named "Best", with the winners determined by a judging panel, viewing data, and public voting.
