The ceremony takes place on Friday 12 November, with the same set-up as the recent Royalty Soapie Awards: it won't be broadcast live unfortunately. It's only going to air on Sunday 28 November - on SABC2 at 20h00. It will also stream on YouTube and Facebook at the same time.
It's an actual affair instead of virtual, with 300 people on the guest list.
There are 28 categories in total this year, with five public voting categories amongst them - you'll find the voting details beneath the nominee list.
As you'll see, Takie Ndou headlines the nods with a total of six, followed by Ayanda Ntanzi and Xolly Mncwango with five each.
