AMAA 2016 THE GLITZ, GLAMOUR AND WINNERS

It was a beauty to behold at the redcarpet of this year's Africa Movie Academy Award where the stars turned out in their superb outfit to represent the different categories of award nominations

All over Africa we had beautiful and handsome faces declaring their vote of confidence in the African Oscar of an award.

AMAA 2016 lived up to its expectations and the nominees couldn't have wished for more. The presidential Hotel in the beautiful city of Portharcour was home to the film makers across Africa and His Excellency the Governor of Rivers State graced the occassion with his presence as cultural and beautiful performances made the day a worthwhile experience for all film makers present.

It was time for the main reason for the award, who takes it all and you can bet it definately was not disapointing.
