  1. i too think its good Agya Koo won cause really The Beast was not Majid’s best work. Okay looks like my predictions have been 60/100 and Im real glad Afra Marley won. Especially glad they honored the old guard Grace Nortey and Mr. Williams(awwwww used to love him in that tv show I can’t recall). They should also honor veteran director in the coming awards ….

  2. Congrats Agya Koo. U’ve really done well for the movie industry.Majid is gud too but too many praises & awards has made him complacent recently.He’s been playing the same roles he’s comfortable with ova and ova again.He’s either the playboy fondling girls or the crazy guy in love with women.It’s become repetitive.

  4. I think shirley frimpong manso is a fine director and her works are just unique. I watched a sting in a tale and I really loved it. I want to be clear whether it is known that that film is an adaptation of the American movie , titled The Honey Mooners. Although she borrowed the story from that movie giving her zero points on originality, I give her some credits for making it look like her own.

  5. I think Shirley is a fine director. I watched her movie;A Sting In A Tale and I really liked it. The movie is an adaptation of the American Movie titled, The Honey Mooners. Shirley scores zero on originality since the story was borrowed but I give her credits for making it look like her own. Watch the Honey Mooners and you will be amazed at the way shirley did the transformation from America to Ghana.

    • which “honey mooners”, coolday bliss?. there is 2 of them, probably more. I’ve watched the one with gabrielle union and cedric. If that is the one you are referring to then hun you wrong.

      • Nanayaa I studied Theatre Arts so I Know what am talking about. Yes its the one with Cedric. Just compare the xters and even the goat which in the Honey mooners was a dog the 2 fnds found and thought would give them the breakthrough they needed. In the Honey Mooners, the 2 friends were looking for a break through and so were the friends in A Sting In A Tale. Do a careful analysis of the xters and the syory line and yoyu will realise that Shirley borrowed the story and she is aware. Just ask her. But hey! she did a good work. Adaptation is allowed in the Movie/Theatre industry. You only have to give credits to whom it is due.
