oh ghana dierr,wat a disgrace couldnt dey be original small,the award is almost the same as the way an oscar looks
mtchew….lack of creativity and africans dierr i dunno
@mimi,That’s true. Why should it be an golden statue? They could have done a bronze cast of a gorgeous looking Ghanaian woman instead of this. Sow where to vote?
Where do we cast our votes?????????
Best Actor in Lead Role, I dont mind saying it could be Majid and for the females Lydia Forson could be my target or Yvonne Okoro/Nelson.
What do u expect…..There is no originality. The reason bollywood is so successful, yet so different from hollywood is because they are true to their culture. How can we get recognition when everything is copied from hollywood. It’s sad but what can we do. These people can’t make a statue from any of our great pioneers of our industry. ghana for u…
