It would be great if someone could post winners and nominees of the major categories. Chubbles (talk) 19:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the article. But, it is still messy and needs the results of first 9 SAMAs. There really is min info out there. Possibly the individual events warrant their own pages. As it stands, including nominees would (in my opinion) make the article far too long. 198.54.202.242 (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it needs work. Any idea where to find the winners of the first 9 awards? Mark 15:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

We should probably also consider which awards to report. Mark 15:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Reads like a publicity piece for the SAMA's. Poor for a Wikipedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.165.195.245 (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
