SAFTAS 2014: Yes. Just like the Saftas' captive audience, you're wondering what the f- you're watching.

Yes.

Just like the captive audience at Gallagher Estate on Saturday night and Atandwa Kani rather sheepishly and perplexingly looking straight into camera, viewers at home watching the eye-poppingly bad 2014 South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) were probably wondering:

What the f- is this!?

At a badly-done awards show from the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) meant to and purportedly celebrating and honouring South Africa's film and television industry, it was funny (not in a good way) that Saftas co-host Alan Committie kept dissing and making put-downs jokes of film and television.

Like saying movies cost R7. "But the popcorn and Coke cost R186." (Let's gently encourage rather than dissuade people from going to the movies on South African film's biggest night, shall we?)

Like saying "there's too many soaps to choose from" on television (conveniently leaving out that the Saftas Favourite Soap list is not complete or credible because SABC2's Muvhango is deliberately left out).

Like dissing the SABC on SABC3 which broadcast the Saftas, referring to how the public broadcaster "lose people all the time".

SAFTAS 2014: Award show co-host Alan Committie takes a dig at the SABC on SABC3 and how the SABC 'lose people all the time'.

The audience at the trashy-as-usual 2014 South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) laughed audibly when co-host Alan Committie got in a snide joke right at the start as he dissed the SABC live on the air right on SABC3 which is showing the amateur awards show.

"I'm sorry. I took the wrong turn. I was in the bottom floor of the SABC. You know they lose people there all the time," he said during the opening skit as co-host Tumi Morake had to help Alan Committie out of a hole cut on stage.

Then Tumi Morake got her own somewhat insensitive joke in regarding the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet which is still missing somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Then the announcer voice cut in welcoming the audience, but of course that microphone wasn't on - the second big sound oops of the 2014 Saftas - meaning viewers didn't hear what was being said from the beginning.
