And while some celebrities who won awards at the event were expected (e.g. Funke Akindele walking home with the Best Comedy Series), others were a tad surprising.
Like when Funke Akindele-Bello won Best TV Show for Jenifa’s Diary. Somkele Idhalama’s trailblazer win wasn’t a surprise. The budding actress has continued to wow both critics and fans alike with each performance. She went home with a car from GAC motors.

76, the period war film starring Rita Dominic and Ramsey Nouah went home with the award for Best Movie and Best Director for Izu Ojukwu. Again, this was expected as there was almost no objection to the film. Most critics loved it.

One award everyone agreed with was Chief Chika Okpala aka Zebrudayya of The New Masquerade fame going home with the award for AMVCA’s Industry Merit Award. He also received a car from GAC motors.
