AS THE annual Silwerskerm Festival draws closer, kykNET has announced the nominees for the TV section of the prestigious Silwerskerm Festival Awards for Film and Television.
The ceremony will see the top achievers, including presenters, actors and film-makers, who have contributed to great television and entertainment between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, being celebrated.
The TV section pays homage to more than 20 categories and boasts a special section for lifetime contributions by living legends.
Meanwhile, the Lifetime Award Recipients will be announced on August 15.
Leading the pack this year is “Taktiek”, with six nominations in various categories.
Lead actors James Borthwick and Mandri Sutherland will go head-to-head for the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy award, while Bennie Fourie and Schalk Bezuidenhout will battle it out for the Best Actor in a Comedy award.
Leché Joubert and Marion Holm have also been nominated together in the Best Actress in a Comedy category.
“Suidooster”, “Binnelanders”, “Arendsvlei” and “Diepe Waters” tread closely with four nominations each, while “Wyfie” and the hit movie “Magda Louw”, bagged three nominations each.
Meanwhile, an independent panel of experts are deliberating on the Personality of the Year category winner, but kykNET viewers can also nominate their favourites.
Those in the running this year include Brendan Peyper and Rachelle Fourie of “Op my eish!”, Derick Hougaard of “Hougaard – Liefling van Loftus”, Avril Albetti of “Die Brug”, Anita Lloyd of “Die Real Housewives van die Wynlande” and the winners of “Kokkedoor: Vuur en Vlam”, Karen Els and Gert Joubert.
