Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) is an annual accolade presented by Multichoice recognizing outstanding achievement in television and film, voted on by the general public. The inaugural edition of the AMVCA launched in 2013 was held in Lagos and all other editions of the awards till the 2016 awards have been held in Lagos Nigeria.
While
giving credit to Multichoice for Celebrating African Movie makers , actors, cinematographers,
make-up artistes, Writers and others, it has since its inception in 2013 been a
Nigerian Movies Award.
In
2013, out of 25 categories about 12 categories of the awards were won by
Nigerians. In 2014, 12 categories of the awards were won by Nigerians. In 2015,
about 21 categories were won by
Nigerians. In 2016, 16 categories of the
awards was won by Nigerians and till date the industry merit award category has
always been won by Nigerians with Olu Jacobs, Pete Edochie, Amaka Igwe , Sadiq
Daba and Bukky Ajayi winning the AMVCA awards in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016
respectively.
No doubt, Nollywood has Championed the massive
revolution in the African Movie industry with its World recognition following
after Industry Heavy weights Hollywood and Bollywood but then its pertinent
that the Organizers of AMVCA spread its wings across all other African Countries.
Popular Ghannian Actress, Yvonne nelson
could not hide her displeasure at the outcome of the events at the AMVCA 2016 by going to her twitter page to voice out her
grievances.
Only Yoruba Movies, igbo Movies, Hausa
Movies, Swahili Movies have their own
special categories. We at Nollywood Gbagaun cannot wait for the Next edition of the AMVCA awards
and do hope all African Movie makers are given a level-playing Field .
