TVC E – Although the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA has come and gone, it has made some remarkable achievements in the life of some movie stars who were celebrated for their outstanding performance.
Stephanie Linus, a Nollywood actress and filmmaker is one of those that will not forget this year’s AMVCA awards in a hurry. It was an emotional moment for the movie star as her movie, Dry, was named Best Overall Movie.
The event which was held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, last Saturday, is an annual event to appreciate and reward outstanding hands in the creative industry.
The ceremony kicked off at about 4pm with a red carpet which was graced by some of Nollywood’s finest. After all the razzmatazz of the red carpet, guests were soon settled in to witness what has come to be regarded as one of the most prestigious award ceremonies in Africa.
From the keenly contested to the not so prominent categories, the award ceremony had a surprise for the crowd that turned out to witness it.
But it wasn’t just about movies, the AMVCA 2016 also paraded the best of music, interspersed with comedy from artistes drawn from all over Africa. Highlife crooner, Flavour N’abania and his Nigerian counterpart, Yemi Alade were among the artistes whose performances kept the audience on their feet. Yemi Alade, together with her dancers added energy and the much needed verve necessary for an event of such nature.
