The 2018 Huawei Mate20 New Zealand Television Awards are on November 22 and the main finalists have been announced, others the New Zealand Television Craft Awards were awarded earlier this week.

Leading the nominations for the main part of the proceedings with 11 nods is Great Southern Film & Television’s telefeature about an iconic Kiwi rock band: The Dance Exponents - Why Does Love? which aired as part of TVNZ 1’s Sunday Theatre series last year.  

The Eligibility Period for the 2018 Awards covers 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018.

Joining us to discuss the nominations are two seasoned television critics, Paul Casserly in Auckland - a long time television producer himself - and in Wellington Linda Burgess.
