Uncut Awards Go Live January 5 With a Raw and Unfiltered Twist
The Uncut Awards are set to take center stage on January 5, 2026, with a live broadcast on NBS TV and Sanyuka TV, alongside simultaneous streaming on all major digital platforms, including Afro Mobile.
Positioned as a mirror of Uganda’s fast moving social and entertainment scene, the awards aim to recognise individuals and platforms that stood out for their influence, relevance, and impact throughout 2025.
According to the organisers, the focus goes beyond popularity. The awards look at cultural presence, consistency, and visibility across the social space, spotlighting figures who truly shaped conversations over the year.
This year, however, the Uncut Awards are shaking things up with a bold and controversial twist.
Alongside celebrating high performers, the ceremony will also call attention to public figures and platforms that were noticeably quiet or absent from the spotlight in 2025.
The organisers describe this satirical approach as cultural accountability, a move designed to spark conversations about relevance, silence, and participation in an increasingly competitive media landscape.
The concept marks a clear departure from traditional award ceremonies, blending recognition with social commentary in a way that is already generating debate.
With live television coverage and wide digital reach, the Uncut Awards are expected to dominate online conversations as viewers react in real time to both the winners and the commentary.
The broadcast starts at 4 pm, with audiences encouraged to tune in on television or online for what promises to be one of the most candid and conversation shaping events of the year.
