2022 SAFTAs - ALL the nominees

Written by TVSA Team from the blog Awards on 14 Jul 2022

First up: good news because we all need that, right?

The SAFTAs have eventually extended the number of nominees in categories from three to five. Not in every category but in many of them and you'll see what a big impact it has - it makes things feel a lot more representative.

We've been pleading for this for years so it's uplifting to see that it's actually happened.

The nominees were announced today and the magic number of nominations this year is 11, with one Drama, one Comedy and one Soapie/Telenovela achieving this. 

They are the Showmax psychological thriller Dam, the Showmax comedy Tali's Baby Diary and 1Magic's The River, which dominates as per always. 

But these aren't the top contenders because the second season of the Netflix comedy How to Ruin Christmas has the most nominations with a total of 16, including a nod for series star Busi Lurayi in the wake of her tragic death this past weekend.

As you'll see, Muvhango and The Queen are noticeably missing, which means they've boycotted the awards again this year because they aren't nominated in the Public Voting category and this features all soapies and telenovelas that entered the awards. 

Muvhango always boycotts, The Queen - sometimes - and Generations is back after years of not entering.
Newly missing shows this year are Uzalo and Durban Gen, which both entered last year.

The ceremony will be a two night affair, on Friday and Saturday, 2 and 3 September, and will air on both S3 and Mzansi Magic. The theme for this year is "Frame the Future".

These are the nominees, with tallies for the genres:
