Readers’ Mail: African Movie Academy Awards Is Bias, Has Non Reflective Jury & They Have Gotten It Wrong Again!

Hello Chris Vincent and Ghanacelebrities.com. My name is Leslie Berth Walker, a senior film student at the Georgia State University. Your website has been an immense help to me in my study of African Cinema. But today, I read with great disappointment the letter sent you by the AMAA regarding their flawed nominations list.
I have followed the award scheme for 3 years now and attended the one held in Bayelsa last year to cover it for my documentary class. I was quite impressed to see someone rose up to challenge the award nomination list, but to read their response was a great disappointment and a shame to the reputation of the awards.
3 years ago, the award nominated Perfect Picture’s three actresses as leads and all three ladies won. I am surprised that the AMAA are making such a lame excuse for relegating Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s role in Ties That Bind, which I was privileged to watch at the WOCAF in Atlanta last week, to a supporting role.
The headline for Ties That Bind I believe is 3 women, 3 lives, 1 hope. Omotola did not play a supporting role in Ties That Bind, she is a member of the three women who make up the story. Ama Abebrese may have had more scenes, but that was made possible because of the presence of the clinic and her being a Dr.
Her story did not surround her job, the clinic. The clinic was part of the story as a character because it was used as an element of adumbrating. Each of the women had different stories but they all knew each other, a phenomenon that surely influenced the title, The Ties That Bind.

With the success of last year’s AMAA winner, Viva Riva!, all of a sudden there’s this great excitement about the potential of the African film industry, which isclearly demonstrated in this year’s diverse nominees.”

Out Of Box Story: Omotola Jalade Ekeinde In An Exclusive Chit Chat With GC, Describes Her Btts As ‘Bumper Bumper’ & Speaks About The Hand On Her Btts At Grammy Awards!

Most African women are gifted with over-sized protruding backsides [buttocks] and some African men consider themselves lucky to have such a woman at their disposal.

However when a man places his hand on top of over-sized butts of a woman, it is mostly not a big deal but then it can become a big deal when the over-sized butt owner is a married celebrity who hails from a country with ruthless tabloids.

The news of Actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde gracing the red carpet at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles was overshadowed by the fact that, the Nollywood Actress also known as Omosexy appeared too normal with her outfit.
