MultiChoice has announced the nominees for this year’s AMVCA awards. Here at NollyRated, we are sticking out necks out to make predictions of who will win in the movie categories. But first, a quick explanation of how the awards will be conducted this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AMVCA has become an iconic event for African movie makers, though the award ceremonies have always been held in Lagos Nigeria. The pandemic limited the awards ceremonies, and AMVCA acknowledged this, in their commercials leading up to the announcement. On Sunday, 19 March, 2022, the duo of Adesuwa Etomi Wellington and Daniel Effiong, resplendent in attires fit for red carpets, announced the nominees on all African Magic Channels. They will also be the hosts of the Awards ceremony that will be held on 8 May, 2022, after an 8 day event.\u00a0 Due to the pandemic, movies from 2020 and 2021 will also be considered for 2022 awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NollyRated’s list of 2022 AMVCA predictions<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of some of the nominees, based on the focus area of Nollyrated. Some of the nominations came as no surprise; but some were unbelievable to us, as we did not expect the nomination, based on the performance and reviews from critics. There were also some nominations that we expected but did not see. Perhaps they did not submit, or did not make the cut. We analyze the nominations below and make our predictions of winners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Best Supporting Actor (Movie or TV Series)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We reviewed Rattlesnake, Amina, and The New Normal. The only surprise nomination in this category is Magaji Mijinyawa, because the whole Amina movie is not worthy of any awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Bucci Franklin \u2013 Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story<\/li>
    2. Adjetey Anang \u2013 Gold Coast Lounge<\/li>
    3. Odunlade Adekola -Jankariwo<\/li>
    4. Eric Roberts \u2013 A Soldier\u2019s Story<\/li>
    5. Amina \u2013 Magaji Mijinyawa<\/li>
    6. Yemi Blaq -The New Normal<\/li>
    7. Tope Tedela -Country Hard<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Our Winner: Yemi Blaq – The New Normal <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Best Supporting Actress (Movie or TV Series)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        We reviewed all the movies except Country Hard, and all the actresses deserve a spot as nominees, and it would be a hard choice to pick the winner. Even Clarion Chukwurah in Amina did her best with what she was given. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Bisola Aiyeola -Sugar Rush<\/li>
        2. Mercy Johnson Okojie -The New Normal<\/li>
        3. Clarion Chukwurah -Amina<\/li>
        4. Mumbi Maina -La Femme Anjola<\/li>
        5. Enado Odigie \u2013 The New Normal<\/li>
        6. Omowunmi Dada -Country Hard<\/li>
        7. Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha \u2013 Omo Ghetto: The Saga<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Our Winner: Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha \u2013 Omo Ghetto: The Saga<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Best Actress in a Comedy<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            We reviewed Breaded Life and Omo Ghetto, and as much as Funke Akindele did a great job, we prefer the performance of Bimbo Ademoye. The movie was overall funny and the ending is totally unpredictable, a memorable movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. Bimbo Ademoye \u2013 Breaded Life<\/li>
            2. Bisola Aiyeola -Dwindle<\/li>
            3. Funke Akindele \u2013 Omo Ghetto<\/li>
            4. Nancy Isime \u2013 Kambili<\/li>
            5. Sarah Hassan \u2013 Just In Time<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Our Winner: Bimbo Ademoye \u2013 Breaded Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. Best Actor in a Comedy<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                We reviewed Omo Ghetto, Progressive Tailors Club, and Ponzi; while Dear Affy is a movie before this blog was started, we do not think Dear Affy deserves any nomination, the acting and storyline was pedestrian and did not deserve to be on the big screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. Shawn Faqua -Soole<\/li>
                2. Deyemi Okanlawon \u2013 Omo Ghetto: The Saga<\/li>
                3. Gideon Okeke -Loving Rona<\/li>
                4. Samuel Perry \u2018Broda Shaggi\u2019 \u2013 Dwindle<\/li>
                5. Femi Adebayo \u2013 Progressive Tailor\u2019s Club<\/li>
                6. Williams Uchemba -Dear Affy<\/li>
                7. Timini Egbuson -Ponzi<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Our Winner: Deyemi Okanlawon \u2013 Omo Ghetto: The Saga<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  1. Best Actor in a Drama<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    We reviewed Rattlesnake, For Maria Ebun Pataki, This Lady Called Life, Introducing the Kujus, and as far as we are concerned, the performance of the other actors do not hold a candle to Gabriel\u2019s performance in For Maria. He has the right mix of passion and gentleness, he stops acting and actually becomes the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. Stan Nze \u2013 Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story<\/li>
                    2. Uzee Usman \u2013 Voiceless<\/li>
                    3. Gabriel Afolayan \u2013 For Maria Ebun Pataki<\/li>
                    4. Efa Iwara \u2013 This Lady Called Life<\/li>
                    5. Femi Jacobs \u2013 Introducing the Kujus<\/li>
                    6. Enyinna Nwigwe \u2013 Dear Affy<\/li>
                    7. Timini Egbuson \u2013 Introducing the Kujus<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      Our Winner: Gabriel Afolayan \u2013 For Maria Ebun Pataki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      1. Best Actress in a Drama<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        All the actresses here are great but what Meg Otanwa did in For Maria Ebun Pataki is legendary, you will be forgiven to think she suffers from postpartum depression, and the interpretation of the role without overacting. She deserves this award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        1. Asabe Madaki \u2013 Voiceless<\/li>
                        2. Osas Ighodaro \u2013 Rattlesnake<\/li>

                        4. Bisola Aiyeola -This Lady Called Life<\/li>
                        5. Nancy Isime \u2013 Superstar<\/li>
                        6. Genoveva Umeh \u2013 A Tune Away<\/li>
                        7. Kehinde Bankole \u2013 Dear Affy<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          Our Winner: Meg Otanwa \u2013 For Maria Ebun Pataki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          1. Best Cinematographer<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            We reviewed Rattlesnake, Amina and Nneka The Pretty Serpent, and the quality of the pictures in Rattlesnake is top notch, hence it is our winner <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            1. Muhammed Attah Ahmed \u2013 Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story<\/li>
                            2. James Amuta \u2013 Collision Course<\/li>

                            6. Victoria Mbogo \u2013 Just in Time<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              Our Winner: Muhammed Attah Ahmed \u2013 Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              1. Best Lighting Design<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                We reviewed Amina, Rattlesnake, and Nneka The Pretty Serpent.  In terms of showing the moods and projecting the feelings, Nneka The Pretty Serpent has the best lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                1. Stanley Idegbu Okechukwu \u2013 Amina<\/li>
                                2. Yemi Awoponle \u2013 The Mystic River<\/li>

                                  Our Winner: Mathew Yusuf \u2013 Nneka The Pretty Serpent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  1. Best Makeup<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                    We reviewed Amina, Omo Ghetto, Nneka The Pretty Serpent, Rattlesnake, La Femme Anjola; make up in movies is not just about enhancing beauty, but about bringing out the dramatic, making wounds and scars realistic, and providing an experience to the audience. La Femme Anjola provides the make-up that lets you know who a character is and how to relate with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          1. Best Writer Nominees<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                            We reviewed Amina,  La Femme Anjola, This Lady Called Life, For Maria Ebun Pataki and Introducing the Kujus, and we are hard pressed to pick a winner between La Femme Anjola and For Maria Ebun Pataki. Both movies addressed different issues and are in different genres, and both are excellent works of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            1. Tunde Babalola \u2013 La Femme Anjola<\/li>

                                              Our Winner: Tunde Babalola \u2013 La Femme Anjola<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                First, I am shocked that Amina is a nominee in this category, and why are movies like La Femme Anjola not in this category? To make a choice here though, it would have to be between Omo Ghetto and Breaded Life.  Considering that Omo Ghetto pandered more towards popularity than a solid storyline, our winner is below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    We reviewed Omo Ghetto, Bad Comments, and For Maria Ebun Pataki, and picture editing speaks to how the movie is edited to fit the message being portrayed, either over the board, or understated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        We reviewed Rattlesnake, Amina, and Day of Destiny. These movies have their pros and cons, but we believe Rattlesnake has the best art direction based on the choices presented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          1. Best Sound Editor<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Sound is not just about the audible sounds, but the spaces in between, how the movie uses both sound and silences to pass the message across, and we believe For Maria Ebun Pataki provides this the best.  It is filled with pregnant silences that gives us more information than if there had been sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                Music is an integral part of every movie, and if the wrong music is laid on the movie, it would throw off the whole production. We reviewed Amiina and Rattlesnake in this category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the opening scene till end credits, La Femme Anjola shows so much directorial excellence, we are in awe of the movie. The way the director pushed envelopes and pushed the actors showed uncommon synergy between them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
