Both Shirley and Leila Djansi made Ghana proud.
Please don’t start any leila and shirley war. The moment one mention leila’s name this whole comments will be filled with insults. The article says Shirley so lets keep so lets follow as it goes.
@Jojo, I’m not trying to start any cyber war my broda. I think Leila Djansi’s name is worth mentioning since she also put Ghana’s name on the map.
Omdss, so AMAA decided to disregard Potomanto’s “production excellence, superior storyline, superb acting and outstanding display of professional touch” lmaoo ? I think scoring 1 award out of 9 “strong” nominations is rather abysmal but oh well, congrats to Leila & Shirley. I’d hoped Good Old Days: Love of AA would win the Achievements in both Cinematography & Costume Design tho.
