This year’s Africa Movie Academy Awards held in Kigali, Rwanda, with Richard Mofe-Damijo (Cross Roads), Joke Silva (Potato Potahto) and Dakore Egbuson (Isoken) emerging as winners, and South Africa’s Five Fingers for Marseille winning in the category for Achievement in Production Design and Overall Best Movie of the Year. The awards outcome seemed fair, playing quite differently from other movie awards like the AMVCA.
