Earlier this week the nominees for the 2015 edition of the South African Film and Television Awards were announced. I thought I would look at a few of the unscipted categories, and other categories that have some newser nominees:
The documentary film, The Vula Connection, which was broadcast multiple times on eNCA (and is produced by eNCA sister company Sabido Productions) landed three nominations: Best Documentary Feature, Best Achievement in Cinematography - Documentary Feature and Best Achievement in Editing - Documentary Feature.
In the Best Magazine Show Category, the SABC's 50/50 and Mooiloop is nominated alongside eNCA's short format show, Movers and Shakers, which is hosted by Vusi Zion.
Mover's and Shakers' Vusi Zion is also nominated in the Best Presenter in a Magazine Show, alongside Darren Green, from the SABC's Doctor's Orders, and the group from Mooiloop, who are nominated as a collective.
In the Best Presenter in a Variety Show (though by looking at the list I have no idea what a "variety show" is), eNCA's Jeremy Maggs is nominated for presenting weekly advertising and marketting show Maggs on Media. Also nominated in this category is Katlego Maboe from SABC 3's breakfast show, Expresso, Katlego Mlambo from eTV's Kasi-Licious and Phat Joe from SABC1's The Real Goboza.
Battle of the Satirical Shows
Both of South Africa's current affairs satirical shows, Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola and ZANews: Puppet Nation, are nominated multiple times in the comedy categories.
Late Nite News, which airs on eNCA and eTV, received four nominations: Best Achievement in Directing TV Comedy (Kagiso Lediga), Best Achievement in Scriptwriting - TV Comedy, Best Achievement in Sound - TV Comedy, and Best Achievement in Cinematography - TV Comedy.
Puppet Nation (Which I would say is the one bright spot on the whole Starsat platform) received nods in all of the four previous categories, and a whopping 7 more, including one of the major ones, Best TV Comedy.
The 2015 SAFTA's take place on the 20th and the 22nd of March at Gallaghar Estate.
