The National Film and Video Foundation announced the nominees for the 18th South Africa Film and Television Awards on Thursday morning but with shows like Muvhango and 7de Laan again snubbing it and once again damaging the credibility of this year's awards set to take place on 26 October.
After the NFVF said that nominees would be announced in August with the awards show taking place in September, the nominees were announced today and the craft awards moved to 25 October on YouTube, with the main awards shown on 26 October on SABC3 and Mzansi Magic (DStv 161).
The NFVF failed to communicate the date changes and to explain the push-out with 347 entries which were received for the 18th SAFTAs and judged by 197 "industry experts" as jury members who the NFVF continues to keep anonymous.
For the 18th SAFTAs the NFVF added five new categories: Best achievement in visual effects, special effects in hair and make-up, as well as best original songs for a telenovela, TV drama and in a feature film.
The axed animation category since 2013 due to a lack of entries has also been returned to the SAFTAs although South African TV news, programmes and presenters in totality remains locked out.
Here is 2024's complete 18th SAFTAs nominees:
