How old is this woman, who is supposed to be famous, that acted in over 300 leading roles in movies

Even best of the best in the world barely got 20 movies in their CV!!!

The day I see nigerian movies in SA cinemas and movie rental stores, and Local tv stations (SABC) that would be great!!


This thing of always claiming that your artists/actors/actresses are well known in Africa and Amerika is a BIG FAT LIE!!!

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
Thanks.
The best event for her to pose with anyone would have been at the Oscars and not Grammy Awards. But since she could not get an IV to the Oscars, she settled for the Grammy Awards event.
The point is, if she wants to make to the Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Hollywood, she must do the right thing as Stephanie Linus did and got her good role in the Hollywood movie "Boonville Redemption". And not making noise from Idumota to Alaba International. grin

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.
Shallow!! Console urself with a clap.

[size=18pt]Top 10 Countries With Biggest Film Industries in the World (from box office returns)
13 April, 2013 - 00:43

1. North American $10.8bn.

The USA is still far ahead of any other Country for now and in no danger of being over taken but they will surely be looking over their shoulder as China continues its march forwards world domination.

2. China $2.7bn

As with everything about China these days, they have become the world’s second-biggest movie market, taking over from Japan.

3. Japan $2.4bn

Dumped off second spot, Japan must be resigned to the inevitable position of playing second fiddle to China from now on in the film industry.

4. France & UK $1.7bn

Coming in joint fourth France and the UK’s appetite for films shows no signs of declining, as both still maintain very strong cinema going cultures.

5. India $1.4bn

The Indian film industry has been a powerhouse for many years now, making the largest number of films in the world, buying the highest number of tickets and having the second largest screen count. However, they only come in at number 5 in box-office revenues mainly because on average their home market has the amongst the lowest ticket prices in the world.

6. Germany $1.35bn

Despite being in the Euro Zone, 2012 saw Germany generate their highest ever Box office revenues increasing by 7.8%, with 135.1 million Cinema tickets sold representing an increase of 4.2%.

7. Russia $1.2bn

With only a fraction of the United State’s screens, Russia is the seventh-largest film market by Box office take and is making steady progress.

8. Italy $1.01bn

Italy is another Country whose film sector is being weighed down in recent times by the impact of the Euro Zone economic crisis.

9. Spain $900m

Plagued by the economic woes of a shrinking market, rampant piracy, subsidy cuts, Spain’s film industry is down on the list.

10. Brazil $800m

Brazil is considered to have the most accessible film industry amongst the so-called high-growth emerging BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China).


South Africa & Nigeria

South Africa and Nigeria are two Countries that really should be in the Top Ten in Box office take but because both industries have serious structural problems that dream is unattainable for now.

Nigeria is humbled by this list, falling right back down to earth from the dizzying heights of being the worlds second largest film industry by virtue of films produced and getting onto this list will remain a pipe dream for Nigeria until the quality of the films being produced improves and more Screens are made available for the close to 170m population.

"She scores a zero on the Hollywood Richter scale. She has never starred in a major motion picture. Her most recent film, Last Flight to Abuja, means nothing to devotees of Netflix and LoveFilm," reported Ben Arogundade for the Telegraph of UK on August 28, 2013. And went on to add that world famous Steven Spielberg did not know her even though she was sitting next to him at the TIME 100 Gala dinner she was attending as one of the 2013 TIME 100 Most Influential People in the World.

Re: Why Steven Spielberg Is Clueless About Nollywood Queen Omotola Jalade-ekeinde by Originalsly: 2:19pm On Dec 20, 2014
Just goes to show how local Nollywood and its icons are. Hollywood is the zenith of movie production and Spielberg its biggest star. One way of getting attention is by shining at International Film Festivals. With all the hype about Nollywood....what Nollywood movie has been screened at e.g Cannes Film Festival?....let alone to make waves? If the movies are not screened how will the stars be noted? Omotola is local ....what role can she possibly play in any Hollywood production?....university student? Any actors dream is to be in a Hollywood production...and in a Spielberg movie.....what are her chances? Genevieve stands a better chance since she managed to get her foot in the door in Dr Bello to act alongside professional and popular actors. Nollywood remains mediocre. ..but keep patting themselves on the back and fooling themselves.

I am also a Nigerian but I am sorry, I can only appreciate quality stuffs. The truth remains that our movie industry is over hyped and our actors are just local champions. Omotola and Genevieve's acting in Ije was fhucking stiff and mediocre. How would Spielberg know such an actor or give her a role in his always challenging movies? Even a lot of Hollywood children actors are better than Omotola and Genevieve combined together.

My candid advice, stop watching all those crap you call movies. That is why your mentality is this shallow and pathetic.

she sits in between two of the most powerful people in Hollywood and shines her teeth like she's on cloud nine but the reality of the situation is that she could have been a refugee who just wandered into that event from off the street, sat next to two of the most powerful men in Hollywood and those white men would have still smiled for the cameras - they are consummate pretenders.

Omotola is unknown to Hollywood because Hollywood is a film industry run for the benefit of the white race, it pushes agendas that favour white supremacy and white power, black actors are only recognised if they slot into subservient roles as slaves (Lupita Nyongo) clowns (eddie Murphy) prostitutes and crack heads (Halle Berry) criminals and thugs (Denzel Washington , or the stereo typical good house negro who obeys massa (Morgan Freeman).

Omotola in my view is not the best that Nigeria can offer as far as acting is concerned but in her defence she will never be recognised by Hollywood because
a) she does not look European enough to be accepted by white audiences - European audiences do not find African women with obvious African facial and body features attractive that's why the likes of Halle Berry are the only 'black' women allowed to get anywhere in Hollywood.

b) she is not western enough in her speech to be accepted by a western audience (that includes blacks in the west who also reason and behave like whites)

c) her body shape is regarded as 'fat' in the western world and therefore she would never be cast in a love interest role

d)black women are never used as love interests in Hollywood because Hollywood executives who call the shots do not regard black women as attractive enough to be in such roles.

e) by now I hope you guys understand that Hollywood is a racist institution that promotes white supremacy therefore roles for black people not to talk of roles for black women are extremely limited - black women in Hollywood are usually cast as prostitutes and victims (Halle Berry) whores (Kerry Washington) or slaves (Lupita Nyongo)

so my dear Omotola take your eyes off Hollywood and concentrate on being the best you can be for your own people - charity as they say begins at home.

If the late great Whitney Houston could face hostility from Hollywood when she tried to get her acting career started what say Omotola aka Omo Sexy?

Whitney was cast opposite Kevin Costner in bodyguard only because Costner INSISTED!!! think about it !

whitney is beautiful by anybody's standards but more importantly (as far as the white man ins concerned) she is beautiful by Hollywood standards ie she had the facial features and body shape of a white woman and YET Hollywood didn't think she was suitable to be cast opposite an A list star like Costner.

Guys shine your eyes!
Re: Why Steven Spielberg Is Clueless About Nollywood Queen Omotola Jalade-ekeinde by itstpia8: 2:55pm On Dec 20, 2014
Casting in hollywood is not about beauty.

Beauty is just one of the requirements needed to put you in the running.

And even that could still be a matter of makeup.
