4 years later and the Feather Awards are still on, getting bigger with each year. The nominations party for SA’s most anticipated award ceremony was helf at the luxurious The Venue last night in Sandton. Majority of the nominees attended the glitzy event in celebration of public figures in the country that inspires, amuse or simply found scandalous by the gay community. Not only were the nominees annouced, the Feathers team also let us in on a breakthrough with the awards set for broadcast on SABC1 for the first time ever.
