The movie felt rushed, the pidgin english and accent didn't sound Nigerian at all, and many of the cast were obviously not Nigerians.

But I enjoyed it a great deal. It moved me to tears when the child soldier was asked to hack that engineer to death. cry cry cry so diff from the typical naija movies.
Idris Elba -great actor!

OP, it is not Uzodinma Iweala's movie. The film adaptation of his novel does not make it his movie. The cast of Cary Joji Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation" received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for the 2016 annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
The principal cast are ABRAHAM ATTAH as "Agu", KURT EGYIAWAN as "2nd I-C" and IDRIS ELBA as "Commandant".
The movie was adapted from Uzodinma Iweala's award winning novel of the same title.
See full list of the nominees of the SAG on http://www.sagawards.org/awards/nominees-and-recipients/22nd-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards

The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2015, will be presented on my birthday January 30, 2016 on both TNT and TBS 8:00 p.m. EST / 5:00 p.m. PST.
The venue is The Shrine Auditorium in LA.

Relax, read & understand more about the movie before passing judgement please.

Nobody in the cast was even Nigerian! The book was only written by a Nigerian

Nothing was rushed in its production

Pidgin English isn't synonymous with Nigerians only several regions of the world have their own type even the Britons.

So please chill, read & use the internet more to expand your knowledge before judging, it helps...alot!

This movie beasts of no nation I ready take bullet for am. Acknowledge a masterpiece when you see one

This one buried half of a yellow Sun like it never even existed I swear!

You obviously haven't seen beasts of no nation

Or seen most of the movies being nominated for best performing male & best supporting male in the Oscars this year to compare.

Pls do so first then come back to rewrite this.

Do you think you can?

Diaryofnaija:
British actor Idris Elba, who played the supporting role in the movie based on the book by Uzodinma Iweala's, "Beast of No Nation" yesterday won a "Screen Actors Guild Award" SAGA for "best actor in a supporting role".

The actor showed up with his daughter won two awards and was looking dapper on the red carpet.

The movie "Beast Of No Nation" premiered in Nigeria in December and was attended by several Nollywood stars and Idris himself

Uzodinma Iweala, the author of the book, the movie was based on I the son of former Finanace Minister and Coordinating Minister Dr Ngozi Okojo Iweala. She was also at the premiere which held in Lagos in December.

Also in other news, Nigerian-American actress Uzo Aduba also won a SAGA Award last night for her role as "crazy eyes" in "Orange is the new balck"

The blacks are a minority in Hollywood. The big studio heads are white. The money men are whites. Hell even the cinema audiences is mostly white and they go to the movies to watch someone like them. The studios make movies that the majority of the cinema audience can relate to and since most of thosr who go to the movies are white then it only makes sense that the best roles in the movies are reserved for whites. Since the time of Sidney Poitier it's a known fact that for a black to become relevant as an actor/actress he has to transcend his race and be able to take on acting roles that whites normally play.

At the moment there are few blacks that have been able to break free of the black actor stereotypes and they include Morgan Freeman, Will Smith and Denzel Washington.

The rest are still shackled by their skin

BTW Beasts of No Nation was shot in Ghana, the lead actor is a Nigerian, writer and director a Nigerian, Supporting male actor is british so I guess you can say the film could only have been nominated in the Foreign category and not in the main categories

And that's how it should be. I don't see that many old white women or Asian or Mexican American faces on the big screen or being but.thurt about it. So blacks requesting some diving privilege makes me cringe honestly. As I've always believed, music and art and cinema are luxuries you can do without until you've conquered commerce and industry. I'll rather be sore at the fact that no black has won the Fields Medal or represented the US at the Math Olympiad.

I can't argue with you when your "facts" are wrong.

The lead actor in beasts of no nation is Abraham Attah. Ghanaian kid.

Screenplay was written by...oh God what's the point here take Wikipedia and read (it's free) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beasts_of_No_Nation
