Nominees for the 18th South African Film and Television Awards have been announced by the National Film and Video Foundation and Shaka iLembe tops the pops with a well deserved 17 nominations.
It has a nod in every Drama category, except for one - Best Supporting Actress.
The River dominates the Soapie/Telenovela categories as per usual (yawn) - we'll be in 2030 and it'll still be getting award nominations. Apparently life is a river and unfortunately we're all drowning in it.
It's joined by Outlaws and Yoh! Christmas, which equal The River's tally with 11 nominations each, and Netflix comedy Miseducation takes third place with 10.
The Craft Awards are happening on Friday 25 October and will stream on the SAFTAs YouTube channel and the Main Awards are on the Saturday and will air live on S3 and Mzansi Magic.
And the whole shebang's going to be even longer than usual (help!). Five new categories have been added to the already bloated awards.
They're quite interesting but yoh, it's a lot now - a person will need serious staying power and a very interesting companion to commit to watching every award being awarded.
As for the nominees... notably missing are: Uzalo and Muvhango - nowhere to be seen.
Fan favourites Sibongile & the Dlaminis, Smoke & Mirrors and Umkhokha: The Curse only have one each, in the public vote category.
These are the nominees, with tallies for Drama, Comedy and Soapies/Telenovelas under each category:
Practitioners: Thishiwe Ziqubu, Paul Grootboom, Catherine Stewart, Andrew Peterson & Daniel Zimbler
