The AMAA Awards are among Africa's most notable film events[1][2][3][4][5][6] and have been sometimes referenced as the "African Oscars".[7][8][9][10] Established to honor excellence in the African film industry, AMAA quickly became known as the "African Oscars," serving as a critical platform to recognize the achievements of African filmmakers, actors, and other industry professionals.[11][12]

History

edit

The first Africa Movie Academy Awards was held in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria, on 30 May 2005.[13][14] All other subsequent African Academy Awards before 2012 were held at the same venue, except for the 2008 AMAA Awards which was moved to Abuja, FCT for security reasons.[15] In 2012, the awards ceremony was held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos in Lagos State. The 9th and 10th edition saw AMAA returning to Yenagoa, while the 2015 ceremony was held outside Nigeria for the first time.
