“The first, second and third editions [of the GMAA] have been great, and I know we all have fond memories. But this year’s which is the fourth edition, is nothing like you’ve ever seen. It’s so packed that, I don’t even think the word ‘packed’ even begins to describe it. I’m almost tempted to start rattling all the really cool stuff that GMAA 2018 has in store for all of us…” Michaels said at the launch.
She also revealed that in order to get in more industry stakeholders to the final awards, most tickets this year would be off limits to the public.
“Organizers of the awards from research and experience realized how limited tickets becomes for the film makers and actors when the big day nears due to the fact that tickets are available for purchase for the general public and movie lovers, hence the decision to CANCEL ticket sales to increase the number of film makers & actors who have the chance to be part of the experience.” she said.
“However few slots will be left for the general public who can apply to attend on goldenmoviewards .com.”
