Funke Akindele Battles Genevieve Forafricamagic Awards by Kcxee(m): 7:21am On Jan 30, 2013
The AfricaMagic Viewers
Choice Awards has
ignited a ‘war’ between
Funke Akindele and
Genevieve Nnaji, who
have been nominated in
the Best Actress
Category. The two
Nollywood actresses are
among five screen divas
slugging it out alongside
Bubu Mazibuko, Nolwazi Shange and Ghanaian
Jackie Appiah.
While Akindele and Johnson are nominated
based on their roles in the films Maami and The
Mirror Boy, others are there on the platforms of
Man on Ground, Otelo Burning and Perfect
Picture.
In the nominations released on Monday,
Akindele also features in the Best Actress in a
Comedy category with The Return of Jenifa,
where she is competing with Lilian Esoro (Clinic
Matters) and Mercy Johnson (Dumebi the Dirty
Girl).
Film lovers will also be interested in who carries
the day in the Best Actor in a Comedy, where
Hafiz Oyetoro (House a Part) is competing with
Kunle Bamtefa (Glorious Journey), Bovi Ugboma
(The Bovi Ugboma Show), Francis Odega (Clinic
Matters) and Ikhide Isaac (Wanna Be).
In the Best Movie Director category, Obi Emeloye
(The Mirror Boy) has Akin Omotoso (Man on
Ground), Tim Green (Skeem), Sara Blecher (Otelo
Burning) and Shirley Frimpong-Manso (Perfect
Picture) to beat.
Interestingly, Phone Swap producer, Kunle
Afolayan, also has a ‘battle’ with Akindele as both
films are nominated in the Best Movie (Comedy)
category, alongside Geore Edmund’s Open Fire
and others.
With a total of 28 awards in 26 categories, the
AMVCA includes six categories where viewers
will vote for winners and 18 more technically-
focused segments where winners will be
selecsted by a judging panel.
Joining forces with AfricaMagic is Amstel Malta,
from the Nigerian Breweries family. At the
Nominee Event held in Lagos, the Marketing
Manager – Non-alcoholic, Nigerian Breweries Plc,
described the partnership as timely.
He said: “Amstel Malta is a brand that inspires
individuals to be the best they can at everything.
What better opportunity to anchor that value
than a gesture that is aimed at giving back to
people who have indeed worked very hard in our
very own continent.?”
According to Adodo, the AMVCA is a platform for
rewarding talent, which aligns with one of Amstel
Malta’s core value of rewarding loyal consumers.
“We constantly seek new ways Akindele to
reward our loyal consumers. The AMVCA will not
only reward talents, but also encourage the up-
and-coming to strive to excel so they can be
recognised and rewarded”, he added.
The Managing Director, M-Net Africa, Biola Alabi,
said the partnership with Amstel Malta was
commendable.
She also had words of encouragement for artistes
that were not nominated. “This is also a medium
to reach out to every individual that is part of
this industry either directly or otherwise. Do not
be disappointed if you do not hear your name in
any of the categories, it doesn’t mean your work
isn’t recognised or appreciated. Contrary to that,
your input is noticed and deeply appreciated,”
she said.
