The #SAFTAs17 Jury will be tasked with the enormous responsibility of maintaining the integrity of the SAFTAs' judging process and ensuring judging is conducted following the highest film and television awards standards.

The nominated individuals will also need to be fully engaged in the judging process to ensure a credible process.
