The Accra International Conference Center, the
usual venue for the well talked about Ghana
Movie Awards for four consecutive years, has
played host to the gathering of crème de la
crème in Ghana entertainment industry.
The GHANA MOVIE AWARDS has -no doubt-
grown to become a glittering concept, and
because it's portray Ghana entertainment in a
good light, many has therefore come to respect
it, in and outside Ghana.
Though Ghana movie awards has come and gone,
there are still flaws that it left in it audience
heart issues such as 'African time'.
This year the show had another turn of beautiful
faces; it featured arch-rivals in the movie
industry come face-to-face.
Hogan, the comedian did a great job by
cracking ribs with his authentic jokes.
The MCs on the night didn't get it all though
there were lapses but it can get better, hopefully
next year.
The stage was beautifully designed to suit the
night. Lighting was on point.
In 2012, the show started at exactly 11:00pm,
fast forward to 2013, the show started at exactly
11:35pm. This year's blame was channeled at
the rain, but discipline was thrown to the wind,
a development which caused guests who tried to
make the slated time had to wait outside for
those putting finishing touches inside the main
auditorium to finish. The sad news is: some of
the attendees had to leave to retire to their
various beds.
The entire organization according to what we
gathered was upon the shoulder of just one man:
eye witness says it was same man at the gate
monitoring proceeds at the same time was at the
backstage rotating three award plaques that he
brought to dummy the entire public. Report has
it that not even one of the winners went home
with their awards.
The fact will linger that about two-thirds of
everyone that was seated in that auditorium last
night, had an issue with the organization but
some will deny it though it was clear that the
organizers deceived the public when they told us
that the South African music group-Mafikhozolo,
were going to perform at the events.
In general, the night saw so many dramatic
happenings such as Joselyn Dumas almost
flipping out her breast at the mention of her
name as a proud winner in the category which
Leila Djansi had vividly chastised the organizers
for wrongfully doing so. But in all, JD as she is
fondly called cautioned her director and literally
asked her to allow sleeping dogs rest in peace.
The melodrama of reconciliation that occurred
between Leila Djansi and Shirley Frimpong-
Manso during their awards receiving showed
that the two ladies have grown up and burnt
their hatches.
Nadia Buari and Jackie Appiah also publicly sent
a message that they are two good pals once
again, even if it was going to last for that night.
It was simple, the message in those gesture
showed that everything about every that
everyone is unique.
Onto the nominees: the nominations and the
categories which had already sparked
commentaries from movie enthusiasts, it was
time to see who will carry the ultimate prize,
and this year was another great feat for Leila
Djansi's "Northern Affair", a movie she had
stylishly made Mabel Germain the Producer
because of her comments few months back
about not doing movies in Ghana and for the
Ghanaian public again.
Obviously, this paid off for her even beyond her
imagination as she carted more awards away at
the event due to her international standard
movie.
Congratulations to John Dumelo and Jackie
Appiah for showing their true maturity on the
various movies they picked accolades for.
