Actress, Jackie Appiah continues to be on the rise following her recent ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ honours at the 2010 African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for her role in ‘Perfect Picture’. Jackie, who played the role of a flustered wife battling with sexual incompatible with her new husband, has described her new achievement as exciting and a beautiful feeling.
The young and beautiful actress is not new to the AMA Awards; in 2007 she won the nod for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’ for ‘Beyonce’ and was nominated the following year for ‘Best Actress in a Leading role’ for ‘Princess Tyra’. So winning the award this year brings a good sense of achievement and growth for her. “It was a beautiful feeling and I am just so happy. It shows that God is on my side and people are out there watching my works and appreciating what I do”, she comments.
According to the star actress, winning the best actress nod means she now has to screen the scripts that come her way and make sure she always goes in for the best. She was particularly impressed with Shirley Frimpong-Manso’s script for the ‘Perfect Picture’ and she comments: “The first time I got the script for perfect picture, I fell in love with it. I just knew that it was a good and beautiful script. And look at how far it has brought me now”.
Winning the coveted award holds great prospects for Jackie Appiah and she hopes that this achievement would take her career to the next level. When asked whether this means her fees or rates would go up, she answered: “Being the queen for the African Movie Academy Awards in 2010 as best actress comes with a lot. Yea, probably the fees will go higher a little; let’s see. But I will choose good scripts, good movies, good directors, and good crews. I will ask for good cast; I will make sure I know whom I am working with”.
She also believes that the recent achievements of Ghanaian movies and actors at the African Movie Academy Awards are strong indications of the improvements and growth in the Ghanaian movie industry. “This goes to show that Ghanaian movies are moving in the right path, we are sitting up right now. We are bringing in different kinds of cameras, better scripts, better locations, and better costumes. It goes to show that people are sitting up and are trying to get serious with the business right now; it’s not a joke anymore. We are really happy because we have had a lot of nominations and wins in the past three years. It goes to show that we are on the right path and I thank God for that”.
Jackie can soon be seen in the new movie, ‘Foreplay’. She also recently finished shooting a production alongside Nigerian sensation, Yemi Blaq in which she plays the role of a female rapper. There is certainly a lot more to come from the reigning queen of African cinema.

Your hard work has really paid off u make us ghanaians very proud and u look purty as usual, I can see that u didnt disappoint in the fashion dept u look beautiful continue to be humble and sweet and big things will surely come ur way.
Congratulatutions Jackie…..I’m happy for you. I hope you thoroughly screen and Abdul Salam Mumuni’s scripts before accepting roles from him. I find that his movies are always redundant and most of the time turn out to be a waste. Please try and stick to Shirley Frimpong Manso/Sparrow Productions crew because they will always have a better script for you. Even when cast in nigeria, please thoroughly read the scripts before an acceptance! WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR UPCOMING MOVIES!

Yes, congratulations to Jackie for winning the award. I congratulate her because she is ghanaian…and as a ghanaian i always support. however, Miss. Jackie, u might want to chill with the good script, good cast, good director and all that goodies u mentioned…a true star must always be humble…dats just my advice for u…because when u start with that whole good this and good that, next thing u kno ur career will be on its end…take genevieve, rita, and omotola for example…how many movies do they produce in a year…because they too busy feeling BIG and PICKY…u must always be humble…u must believe in others the same way shirley believed in u…besides shirley is the only one that has really good scripts, directing and cast….
