2012 South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) - nominations


The National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa (NFVF) announced the nominees for the 6th Annual South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs, also known as the Golden Horns) at a private function that took place at The Venue in Melrose Arch, Joburg.

The film Black Butterflies about South African poet Ingrid Jonker led the field with nine nominations. It's mentions included Best Feature Film and Writing Team.

The two other Best Feature Film nominees were Skoonheid and Roepman which followed with six nominations. Retribution also picked up six nominations but missed the Best Feature Film category.

Steven Silver's Canadian-South African co-production The Bang Bang Club picked up five nominations. It was nominated for Best Cinematographer, Editor, Music, Makeup/Hair and Sound Design.

Controversially, there are no nominees for best actress in a feature because the submitted films were overwhelmingly male-driven stories. Only two actresses were listed and one them, Black Butterflies star Carice van Houten, was ineligible because she is Dutch and not South African.

In the television categories, the show Intersexions led with a whopping 23 nominations. The next closest was Sokhulu & Partners with 10 nominations. There were many concerns and complaints about the distribution of nominations, especially as they mostly excluded the network SABC3.

The awards for the 6th Annual South African Film and Television Awards will be presented on March 9 and 10 at Gallagher Estate in Midrand. The first event will award winners in the non-fiction categories and the second event will present the fiction winners.
