When I reviewed POTOMANTO (Read My Review Here) I talked about its production excellence, superior storyline, superb acting and outstanding display of professional touch—and if you thought I was lying, receiving 9 strong nominations for the 2014 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) has re-echoed the production’s greatness…
Shirley Frimpong Manso has been nominated for the all-important Best Director award for her work on POTOMANTO, Adjetey Anang has scored Best Actor in a Leading Role, Marie Humbert has been nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and since Ken Attoh helped with Editing, definitely there were going to be a nomination there too.
For the first time, Joselyn Dumas has been nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in A Northern Affair—bringing back the debate and Ghana Movie Awards’ misplacement of whether her role was a lead or a supporting…

Leila did not even get a nomination in Best Director? The race is getting interesting and slowly the best is emerging. Congrats to all the nominees though
@ Jessica, hahahahaha………who is LEILA? 😛
Say it again, Leila WHO? lol Where is she when the awards that matter come up?
hahahaha. poor you. you are so happy to see her not nominated for AMaa award. what an important woman Leila is. first person you think about. Shirley, i never knew your hatred for leila dey root like dat. chai. Even the great Kwaw Ansah, Desmond Elliot and Chika Anadu, even Obi Emelonye did not get nominated for best director even tho their films had other nominations! the AMAA are being nice by allowing the small time people to win for once. of good report that was rejected by film festivals is the film with the most award. una fall my hand efry tyme. leila herself came out to say Northern affair is not her best work so stfu.
Best Actor will be between Adjetey Anang and Majid and I know Adjetey will take it this year. No 2 ways about it
Congrats to all nominees especially Ms Shirley & her crew.
Congrats to all the nominees, especially Shirley. Good look to Shirley, Majid, Joselyn and Marie.
Is good people think abt leila, it means she’s doing something good, big up to all those who got nominated,
Congrats to all the nominees
@ 411bully, its funny how you only comment when its about leila. you can do me a favour and start using your real name leila.
and can you start using your own name also. I can be leila if that is what you want. but i still speak the truth. should she not defend herself when you insult her? she has family and friends ok. and we will defend her. you cant leave this girl alone to breath. na curse? you are so daamp. u abuse peopl for free and when they get a defense you make nonsensical accusations. stop calling her name where it is not needed. wot kind of jealousy is dis?
