Saturday's hosts Lawrence Maleka and Zozibini Tunzi
 
The 17th South African Film and Television Awards happened in the real world for the first time in three years this weekend, with the craft ceremony on Friday (29 September) and the main awards on Saturday.

The craft awards streamed on YouTube, the main awards aired live on S3 and Mzansi Magic and there were no pushy, attention seeking headline hoggers amongst the TV winners this year, *side eye The River's dominance in previous years*.

Wins were more evenly divided, particularly in the Soapies/Telenovelas where Scandal!, Binnelanders and Legacy topped the tallies with three wins each, with Scandal! taking the Public Vote for Best Soapie.

However SABC soapies were noticeably snubbed with not a win amongst them.

Generations, Giyani, Uzalo, The Estate and Skeem Saam were all nominated but none of them won a thing, despite the fact that that they had 17 nominations between them, which included favourite actors and actresses.

How to Ruin Christmas topped the comedy categories yet again in a blow back to two years ago and Netflix miniseries Justice Served led the drama categories, toppling ShowMax's Donkerbos which had the most nominations in the category.

Here's a wrap of the winners in red and bold, with tallies from both nights:
