Please if you claim you know movies and you don't know steven spielberg then you deserve small deliverance. Is like saying you love superhero flicks and yet you can't recognize or even know stan lee. Omotola would have introduced herself to him rather than waiting for a man who shaped hollywood to recognize her.This is what you get for starring in 300 shitty movies in an industry with zero talent.

I respect Steven spielberg so much. All his movies are top notch. They are always blockbusters and making the top list. He is a pro in all he does.

Nonsense! The world doesn't revolve around the USA or her Hollywood.
We can stay and develop our film industry to so called world standard, our actors need not scramble for lame rolls in another industry.

He doesn't have to know her for her to be relevant.
Relevant where?
Just being on 2013 TIME 100 List of icons, made the entire Nollywood to host her in a big red carpet event.
Imagine what will happen if Omotola gets a major role in a Spielberg's film?
The news will make front page headlines on all news media channels in Nigeria.
The news of Lupita Nyong’o's film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's award winning novel “Americanah” is making headlines all over the world and a Nigerian actor David Oyelowo is already being considered to play a leading role in the movie.
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/david-oyelowo-to-star-with-lupita-nyongo-in-americanah-exclusive-1201377306/
Lupita is not even looking in the direction of Nollywood for her casting!

Omotola and her peers in Nollywood need to see the BIG PICTURE and stop competing against themselves in Nigeria.
They should go out there and compete on the big stage.
David Oyelowo of Yoruba Saxon Productions has already got Golden Globe nomination for playing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Ava DuVernay’s “Selma.”

Another thing i hate about these folks is the lies they spread about the impact and mad love nollywood movies are getting in hollywood and america. I don't realy blame our nollywood actors,99% of their directors and script writers are too dumb for any wise person to actually like them. They don't have plans to cater for lovers of different types of movies. An industry that can't boast of an educative and magical PG 13 movie should be labelled a flop. These actors and actresses can't even recall the number of movies they have starred in plus most of them don't watch nollywood movies but expect the citizens they are dumbing down to watch it. I pity those who watch these crappy movies,even hollywood is giving us crap these days,CGI has replaced props in movies but atleast they still have a few movies with good storyline. Omotola no dey watch genevive movies,genevive no dey watch hers,tonto don't patronise it too but spend more time idolising people like angelina jolie or julia roberts. I can't recall knowing any intelligent man that patronises these movies. It takes great physicists like richard dawkins and so many others to actually explain some hollywood movies. The dawn of the planet of apes created 15,000 jobs with long works hours before it was made and produced. Nollywood makes a few people rich and start making noise about it. It does not take more than 15 proffesionals excluding actors and extras to produce a nollywood movie. bunch of amateurs! sorry for the long talk,nollywood is painting us dumb outside of africa.

Actors like hugo weaving and a few not too popular actors have nigerian roots,Hugo weaving(Matrix trilogy and Lord of the rings trilogy) was born in nigeria but will never even speak of it just because it might make his hollywood pals to start digging and stumble upon the disgrace known as nollywood. The list is endless,there are so many popular hollywood big weights who would have loved to star in a nollywood flick if nollywood was not a disgrace. Just try and watch the credits of any popular hollywood box office movie and you will see so many nigerian names but you will never see them do any proffesional work in a nollywood just because of their amateur standard of their actors and the industry. Abeg help me beg these people to stop disgracing me. The worst is that dark lady mercy johnson,she has no class at all,i have never heard where she rejected any movie. imagine she even made a dumb movie when she travelled to london to give birth and called it mercy johnson in london or whatever.

True talk. We cannot compare the quality of acting in nollywood with that of hollywood. I think i get what steven spielberg is trying to say. Can any of our actors/actresses pull off any of the stunts in hollywood movies? LOL. Nah!! The hollywood actors that are nigerian by birth had a different form of training from those in bred here in nollywood. Our orientation in acting still differs from theirs. Nollywood uses Nigerian mentality to act. grin grin

Correction sir,Omotola got a lifetime opportunity to pose with TWO world legends.Sir Daniel Day Lewis is a three time Academy award winner for best actor.He and Spielberg worked on the 2012 movie "Lincoln" together.Try and also watch his other Academy award winning roles in the movies "My Left Foot" and "There will be Blood."Omotola and her Nollywood peers will never be able to compete with that level of highly trained,world class talent.

Re: Why Steven Spielberg Is Clueless About Nollywood Queen Omotola Jalade-ekeinde by Nobody: 1:29pm On Dec 20, 2014
I used to like Omotola but along the line I started disliking her due to her unending publicity stunts. She would just stay for one corner arrange one award that she would collect eg from Nigerians in Spain cos of her efforts in one thin or the other, and I would wonder what other major thin omotola dey do apart from her Nollywood fine girl acting Person no dey hear word for Omotola, if she's not advertising her kids on Twitter n Facebook, she would be saying how she n her hubby wedded in a plane, the other day na how she n her husband first made love. Even the national award she collected from Mr. Clueless Jonathn is somethin I am yet to figure out how she qualified to get. Na wa o. Upon all dez d oyiboman talk say e never hear of her and there she is attending Grammy awards in NY and crashing into oyibo people's pictures just to get noticed. Notice me na disease for real. undecided

Shallow!

Omotola is supposed to be a grade a African actor and our industry is larger than Hollywood. It is a shame he doesn't know her. It is not his fault. It is the fault of our movie industry and our talentless and over hyped actors.

FYI, Stephen Spielberg is one of the most famous men in movie production world over.
