Two young First Nations actresses who brought the story of tennis champion Evonne Goolagong Cawley to life are among a strong cohort of Indigenous performers recognised in this year's Logie nominations.

Lila McGuire, 29, and 10-year-old Eloise Hart both portrayed the legendary Australian athlete in the ABC's three-part drama Goolagong, which has been nominated for Best Miniseries/Telemovie.

The pair are among six nominees — including Bundjalung and Lamalama actor Tamala — in the running for the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent.
