It was sassy, classy and yet another night of awards last Sunday as movie stars across Africa and other parts of the world invaded Yenoghoa, Bayelsa State capital, to be part of this year\u2019s edition of the prestigious African Movie Academy Awards(AMAA).<\/p>\n

The awards night\u00a0 was explicit as it was glamorous. It was also a celebration of colour, style and movies from Africa.<\/p>\n

Apart from recording an impressive outing of notable movie stars from across the world in attendance, one unique thing about this year\u2019s AMAA was the fact that it was a week-long event.<\/p>\n

Unlike the previous editions where guests came and left without learning anything about the host state, this year\u2019s AMAA was different. Guests\u00a0 were entertained elaborately with the state\u2019s cultural troupe performance.<\/p>\n

The red-carpet graced by movie\u00a0 stars from all walks of life; Hollywood, Ghallywood, Nollywood, South Africa, Kenya and other countries, started as early as 4 pm, at the Glory Land Cultural Centre.\u00a0 The stars, in their unbeatable fashion styles,\u00a0 met with the aggressive paparazzi who were busy feasting on their appearances.<\/p>\n

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke and Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel stole the show. Their adorning the red-carpet was greeted with thunderous ovation and hailing from the crowd. Jim Iyke later\u00a0 anchored the awards night alongside actress Nse Ikpe Etim- they both gave a good account of themselves on stage.<\/p>\n

AMAA founder, Ms Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, while speaking at the well attended event re-emphasized the primary aim of setting up the AMAA, noting that the Academy was set up to\u00a0 encourage and reward creativity in the business of film making in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201c The AMAA have been an enduring platform to eulogize our heroes past in Africa cinema and shower encomiums on the present crop of film makers who are still proudly flying the flag.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing, she said, \u201c while we celebrate ourselves as film makers, AMAA seeks to inspire a new generation of African film makers who will use a perfect blend of creativity and technology to tell our stories. We must be able to fuse our rich oral traditions and history with the latest in high definition equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

She described this year\u2019s AMAA as being unique, adding that the guest were made to experience\u00a0 the host state in a new way for one week, with series of activities that positively impacted on the local economy and people of Bayelsa state.<\/p>\n
