Royalty Soapie Awards List Of Nominees 2021. The time has finally arrived and all of the hard working thespians who have been entertaining us on some of our favourite TV shows will be recognized for their talents. Yesterday the Royalty Soapie Awards announced all the nominees for the year 2021 and let’s just say it’s going to be hard to predict who will be walking away with the award in each category.
The nomination ceremony was hosted by the beautiful Zola Nombona and premiered on SABC1. Every year there is always a specific show that dominates the nominations and this year it looks like new kid on the block DiepCity is leading the pack when it comes to nods. Not only the faces on screen where recognized by the platform as behind the scenes nominations were also announced.
This is the fifth instalment of the awards that aim to celebrate the calibre and diversity of the nominees and CEO Winnie Ntshaba has shared that they are thrilled to be honouring all the hard workers from all over Mzansi
The awards introduced two new categories to the public vote category list. The public can now vote for their favourite nominated actors in the Viewer’s Choice Best Actor and Viewer’s Choice Best Actress. Public voting lines open on 1 September and close at 18:00 on 14 September. On how to cast your vote, visit royaltysa.com.
