Which Nigerian Actor Or Actress Can Win An Oscar by phrezzz: 7:48pm On Sep 06, 2014 |
So i was just watching the movie 12YearsASlave. Am not much of a movie freak so you would understand my slowness in watching this movie at this time. The script to the acting to the directing was so on point. Was very proud (Did my research that Narthop Solomon) was a Nigeria-British actor but what drew my awesomeness for the film was Lupita Nyong'o the Kenya Beauty. Her interpreting the Role was Superb. The whipping scene was class shoutout to Mcqueen. And i most totally say she deserves the oscar award. For a second i tried to match any Nollywood Actress who could have acted as Pasty and brought in so much life to the character. 7 Likes |

Given the right material, right acting tuition and right directing I'll say pretty much ANY of them can. Not that it's important. 9 Likes 1 Share |

VillageBoi:Where on planet earth have you been? @phrezzz... Winning an Oscar or not winning an Oscar is not important... ...but to answer your question, "Any Nigerian actor CAN actually win the Oscars." It is not a difficult feat and I wouldn't want to discuss the clumsy fuzz. Adepero Oduye also acted in 12 years a slave and her performance was top notch as well. She featured as 'Eliza'. Watch her perfomance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utBKmU1TJIg [img]http://knightleyemma.files./2013/12/12-yrs-eliza.jpg[/img] ...she is a Nigerian-American actress and she is more experienced than Lupita. See her IMDb page here:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1323822/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t17 ...we all know why she didn't get a nomination. (same reason Halle Berry won her first Oscars ) [img]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQNw-IJDwhbJhICMW6TNXp3TzM5NG0yRDLi6_yzryvPL0mJR2SubaR-7w[/img] pretty ain't she? If she was given the 'Patsey' role played by Lupita, I'm pretty sure she would have killed that role. If you're referring to Nollywood actors then I believe there are even Tones of talents on the street that can deliver that role clean. Also... Besides Adepero Oduye, There are loads of other Nigerian actors and actresses presently in Hollywood and they can get lucky in winning the Oscars someday. Some of the actors of Nigerian origin in Hollywood are: Triple A www.nairaland.com/attachments/670499_adewale_akinnuoye_agbaje_jpg70a74cd164b25029e22a3db6899c8c4f Osas Ighodaro (Cadillac records, 2008) www.nairaland.com/attachments/670680_Osas_Ighodaro_jpg57f63b77ee21bea334af250a067e6fb1 Uzo Aduba (from Orange is the new Black) Dayo Okeniyi [img]http://hungergamesfandom.files./2012/03/thg-atlanta-small.jpg?w=549&h=411[/img] and most recently our one and only Stephanie Okereke Linus https://www.nairaland.com/1824374/stephannie-okereke-plays-slave-hollywood visit this thread to see more:https://www.nairaland.com/902363/talking-hollywood-moviestars-nigerian-origin Adepero's 'let me cry'. 46 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigerian movie stars can actually win Oscar award but not those that are in nollywood. Watch "4400", see What Isabelle did in that movie. She was fantastic & a Nigerian she was 1 Like |

Winning an Oscar (American Academy Award) entails so many things which include: Breaking into the American movie industry-Hollywood, Being cast in a lead or supporting role of a critically acclaimed, commercially successful movie, The movie being nominated for that category, The Actor/Actress eventually winning it. For a Nigerian Actor, it would take immense talent and near perfect spoken english-cos that's the easiest foreign language to master in Nigeria. For Actors who have broken into Hollywood, here are my prospectives: Chiwetal Ejiofor Hakeem Kae Kasim Gbenga Akinnagbe Sophie Okonedo Antonia Okonma Dayo Okeniyi Hope Olaide Wilson For Nollywood Actors, the following have a decent shot; Genevieve Nnaji Olu Jacobs Funso Adeolu Kunle Afolayan Omoni Oboli Tomi Odunsi Joe Ben Nse Ikpe Etim 4 Likes 1 Share |
