Mzansi Joins Channel O Award Party

The 2010 Channel O Awards took place at Sandton Convention Centre on Thursday night (4 November) and narrowly escaped turning into a 1Time flight.

The theme for the evening was aviation: guests were greeted by hosts wearing pilot outfits, the convention area was turned into an airport, schlebs flew down the red carpet (visuals coming soon) and the flight was delayed after getting stuck on the runway.

The ceremony was broadcast live on Channel O and was hampered by technical troubles, resulting in lots of ad-libbing by ceremony hosts Lungsta Radu and comedian Thomas Gumede.

The cause wasn't revealed but it turned out that the engine wasn't on fire, passengers didn't get injured trying to escape and the flight departed a half-an-hour late.

No-one got a R60 voucher for the stress though ... we've heard that this is what 1Time gave the passengers involved in last week's flyiasco. Is it true??

As you may know, there has been a lot of huffing and puffing about the Channel O Awards in previous years. Criticism that South Africans don't win enough, because we don't vote enough.

This year, things changed: Mzansi musos won half of the awards, in seven out of 14 categories.

Without further delay, here's who took top honours:

The lady who won "The Best Female video" I love her body. I'm going on diet as from this evening. ......eish no i'll start 2morrow. I have to finish yesterdays food.

Proverb should wear more suits. He looks delicious in that suit. 

Is it Big Nuz? He looks like those madala abathanda uku attenda imbizo phantsi komthi. Goodness! I know i don't do skinny men but thats a bulk. He must do something about his body, it's not attractive anymore. I know they' re making nice music but this is a big turn off. 

AmaNaija ane body ezi grand qha i just can't do them. 

Maki Congra for getting indishi.

The boy's from Big Nuz are not so "gifted" with the Queen's language, but  they are allowed to speak their mother tongue. 

I love Tira, and we all know he's their manager/ producer/ company owner but he doesnt have to always steal his artists shine. 

I just don't get the whole "gifted" thing. most "gifted" video like WTF? most "gifted " artist yes, but video??
