JUST LAST YEAR DECEMBER WAS WHEN THEY WENT FOR GHANA MOVIE AWARD AND THAT WAS WHEN KYEIWAA WENT FOR AWARD AND SHE WAS  DOING HER  FUNNY AZONTO DANCE. HMMM I DON’T BLAME THE PRODUCERS IF THEY DID NOT BRING OUT ANY BETTER MOVIE COS THE WAY DAYS ARE RUNNING FAST, PEOPLE DON’T EVEN GET TIME TO DO LOT OF THINGS. IS LIKE 2011 AND 2012 HAS BEEN JOINED TOGETHER. I DONT SEE THIS YEAR AS A FULL YEAR. IT IS RATHER HALF YEAR TO ME. I SEE 2012 AS THE END OF 2011. IF 2012 HAS FASTED RUN LIKE THIS THEN 2013 WILL BE LIKE A WATERFALL… SPEEDDDDDDDDDDDD PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  6. For me I will go for grooms bride that movie has class and should win all the awards, they should let some jokes call movies win anything, so they will learn to shoot good movie like grooms bride next time.

  7. Why all Nigerians in all the category this is Ghana movie awards not Africa awards so no other countries please. No Ghanaian is nominated in Nigerian film awards, just other awards not the one for their country. Then call it African movie  awards not Ghana movie awards.

  8. i wonder o is it because of he is a heavy weight in Ghana?,or is his excessive banging of awards in lead role category?,this is an insult to the personality of majid,he should have been nominated as a favourite actor,or viewers choice,he is a classy actor not like other actors who are unsophisticated….
