Tonto Dikeh

The African Voice Newspaper UK has now released nominees for the 17th African Film Awards 2012 better known as Hollywood Awards. Winners of each category will be announced at a special ceremony in Akure, Ondo State on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.

Each of the winners would have the opportunity to attend the prestigious annual awards in London.

Top actresses like Tonto Dikeh, Chika Ike and Omoni Oboli will slug it out in the best actress category while South Africa’s leading actor, Jafta Mamabolo (famed for his role in Otelo Burning) will have Nigeria's Joseph Benjamin (Tango With Me) and Ghana's Van Vicker to fight in order to win in the best African actor category.

The award has helped to make Nollywood popular and opened an array of opportunities for past recipients. Commenting on this year’s edition, Prince Mike Abiola, publisher of African Voice Newspaper UK and Chairman of the awards committee said "the awards ceremony will attract British African stars from film and television, British producers seeking collaboration with Nollywood practitioners and high net worth British Africans seeking to invest in Africa’s leading film industry.

"Akure in Ondo State has been chosen to announce the finalists from Nollywood this year to promote peaceful electioneering in the forth coming Governorship elections in the state. It is hoped that the popularity of Nollywood and wide acceptance of the award brand will drive international media attention to the variety of tourist attractions in the state such as the historic Idanre Hills."


A distinguished and independent panel of film critics, respected for their expertise in the film industry, will decide the eventual winners of each award category.

The awards, celebrating excellence in African Film and tourism, will also be an opportunity to highlight the tourism development plans of African states, as the event coincides with the World Tourism Market, the leading global event for the tourism industry.

Maybe Oge's lead actress role is equivalent to her colleagues supporting role i blv lol!
WAT IS WRONG
ANNA | 10/5/2012 6:22:30 AM |
Thst becos the movie nominated she was a supporting role.What's there in supporting, Angelina jolie eddie murphy even meryl streep have all been supporting.Atleast all dese struggle actresses are being recognized o
Dereck D
Someone Somewhere | 10/5/2012 8:07:29 AM |
Dereck D yes ooo, same supporting role that Omotura Oueen of flopped movies was nominated for in AMAA award,it was more shameful that she didnt even win,they can never try that when it comes to Genny,she is always in the lead Best actress category,not supporting for lower class actresses,Queen Genny rules anyday anytime,if i na me be Omotura for the rest of my life i wont come out,best supporting actress in a whole AMAA award kai,low class
someone somewhere
john | 10/5/2012 9:14:16 AM |

i personally fnds it unelieveable to see Tonto the artificial actress nominated alongside some of the heavy wigs noliwood, Ton's acting is nowhere near Chika, Omoli or Oge, her acting is realy porou and needs much much improvement

Wow!Does China still do not agree with the practice of the United States which is to rrieafn thier friends from trading with and otherwise supporting aggressive regimes, (Evil of Axes), such as Iarn?North Korea has decided to stop all the nuclear weapon testing as I was told.So doees China still comply with this stated belief by the US?Please update that on your blog?
