Félicité i think i need to see this movie that won so many awards.

I Dont know most of the movies ooo

Lets face reality, this is a call for all those involed in the Nigerian movie industry to sit up...

Nigerians and Nigerian films are nominated everywhere yet they didn't get awards...
This is because our movies are always hurriedly prepared and in most cases, the basics ignored...

All the same, CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS...

ebukahandsome:
I Dont know most of the movies ooo

Maybe that's because they were not directed, produced and edited at pound road nor iweka road in aba nah...

Its like we've lost touch when it comes to movie production. Or the other African countries are catching up.

That's cool ..... we the giant of Africa Bleep up sha

Soo happy seeing Nkem owoh's name up there. He deserves it. That man has been putting smiles on our faces a long time

How on earth did Angelique Kidjo perform better than Somekele Idhalama?
I'm so angry! Somekele has been robbed this year! 1st it was Ebele that stole the that Best supporting actress award in AMVCA, now Angelique Kidjo is doing the same here! Rubbish!

It is such a shame that Somekele Idhalama wasn't duly awarded for her superb performance in 93 days! Shame!
And 93 days did not really get any meaningful award both in AMVCA and AMAA. SHAME!

Where can one watch that felicite cos the movie's trailer did not reveal much(previously thought the movie and vero tshanda's acting was wack)

AMAA should try to also shortlist the NAMES of nominees in the other award categories such as production design,make-up,visual effects,cinematography,costume and the likes. This would enable us know both the nominees in these sections and the winners personally
