AFRICAN MOVIES ACADEMY AWARDS 2013 COMPLETE LIST OF WINNERS

             So the African Movie Academy Awards held on the 20 April.It started pretty late with AIT broadcasting the whole show.I stayed up so i could be part of this marvelous event,Truth be told i wish i had not,they just kept dragging the show on and on.The first part of the show was hosted my Nigerian Comedian AY and Ghanian actress Ama K Anebrese.
          The second part of the show was hosted by Nigerian actress Dakore Egbuson and.Ninah's Dowry,a Cameroon movie was nominated 7times.Unfortunately it didn't get an award of any of its nominated category.Can you believe that?7times!!!Ok i do not have anything against the AMAA crew and I CERTAINLY DO NOT have anything against the producers of the film,it is a beautiful movie.I blame us the CAMEROONIANS,If we spend half as much as we spend on other films i mean buying our own movies and watching them,maybe....just maybe some people would have seen what an interesting movie it is and vote 4 it.Well what do i even have to say,to the entire Ninah's Dowry team,i say you guyz did a great job and you are certainly going to have better luck next time.
        To the entire Cameroon Nation i plead with you all to try and buy movies and not only buy them,watch them.Una no go die if una promote una own!chaiii!Least i forget Ninah's Dowry was given an award on known as ''the special jury award.'',whatever that means.lNa sorry the jury sorry the film.7nominations!!chaiii!!The show ended at 5am!5am...no joke.From 7pm to 5am...AMAA abeg una do better organisation next time abegg!See the complete list of nominees and winners after the cut,i will bring up pictures later.Make i try catch some sleep...xoxo
