Awards 2011, this is an award that is the AMAA of Nigeria. Nollywood Filmmakers and actors are
rewarded for a good job done during the year
under review.
Nigeriafilms writer, Osaremen Ehi James takes us through the nominations.
Another dimension to this year's award category
is the splitting of the award into Yoruba and
English categories, and the inclusion of Scandal
Free Actress category, which would be voted for.
The awards ceremony is gradually heating up as
the D Day (11.11.11) is getting nearer each
seconds and what makes this year's edition
special is the calibre of people in each categories
vying for the awards. With stiff competition in
most of the categories, it is surely going to be a
tough task getting winners in each of the
categories.
The category that might sound very funny in this year's edition is the Best Kiss in a Nigerian
Movie where Uche Jombo & Kalu Ikeagwu
(Damage), Odunlade Adekola & Toks Latona
(Booku), Tonto Dikeh & Muna Obikwe (Dirty
Secrets) and Genevieve Nnaji and Majid Michel
(Bursting Loose) got nominated in.
In the Best Actress (English) in a lead role,
the likes of Nse Etim (Mr & Mrs), Omotola Jolade
Ekeinde (Private Storm), Genevieve Nnaji (Mirror
Boy), Omoni Oboli (Anchor Baby) and Uche Jombo (Damage) need to slog it out in winning in that category.
Best Actress (Yoruba) in a Lead role has
Faithia Balogun (Ajaa Meji), Eniola Badmus (Eefa), Laide Bakare (Demilade), Toyin Aimakhu (Ikudoro) and Sola Kosoko (Sindara).
It will be a tough battle in the Best Actor
(Yoruba) in a lead role, where titans like Saidi
Balogun (Eti Keta), Eniola Olaniyan (Kuta Nle),
Muyiwa Ademola (Iyo Aiye), Odunlade Adekola (21 Years) and Femi Adebayo (Jelili) will punish the grass when they battle for the coveted price.
The Movie of the year is another category most
people will be waiting to know, which movie will
make it through unhurt. Films like Eafa, Mirror
Boy, 2 Brides and a Baby, Mr & Mrs and Private Storm all made it through to the category.
Heavy weights in the directing side of the
industry will lock horns in the Director of the
year category where Teco Benson (2 Brides and
a Baby), Bayo Tijani (Eefa), Obi Emelonye
(Mirror Boy), Jeta Amata (Inale) and Lancelot
Imasuen / Ikechukwu Onyeka (Private Storm)
are in.
Best Movie with message for the society is
another category to watch out for. Movies like
Damage, Iyo Aiye, Save our Soul, Omo
Ghetto 2 and Ere Ori Igi are vying for the
golden price.
November 11 is the day set aside to unravel
winners of this year's Best of Nollywood Awards,
we can't wait to know who rules the make-believe industry.
