Tonight at the Bayelsa Cultural Centre, Yenagoa in Bayelsa State in Nigeria, the 7th African Movie Academy Awards 2011 winners will be declared. It is very difficult to know who wins what tonight.

But virtually everyone here on the African Continent has an expectation. What is your expectations? GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke to some people in the movie industry on the continent. Read more …

MAJID MICHEL [BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE NOMINEE]: “I just want to have lots of fun tonight. I will be surprised if I win it and surprised if I don’t win it.”

FATIMA JABBE [ACTRESS AND ASSOCIATE PRODUCER FOR THE MOVIE ‘MIRROR BOY’ FROM GAMBIA/UK]: “This is my second time in Nigeria but my first time at the AMAA. I’m looking forward for a good show and a fair show. If your film is nominated, you always want to make sure you win but it’s the experience that matters here, we are meeting different people, we are talking, we are interacting, we are networking. Today is a day that you know that Africans have started realizing that we have something good to export to the rest of the world to acknowledge us”.

SAJANI SRIVASTAVA [A FILM MAKER FROM INDIA BUT HAS A COMPANY IN TANZANIA] HER MOVIE ‘NANI’ NOMINATED FOR BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: “This is my first time in Nigeria and in the AMAAs and my expectations for the awards is very high. I’m always positive. Let’s leave it to God.

Yes I’m confident I’m winning the award because my film won the best film in Zanzibar Film Festival as well as nominated in other film festivals, so I have high hopes for tonight. I have not seen the other movies I’m competing with but I know they are good movies also”.

DZIGBODI ALLOTEY [PRESENTER FROM GHANA]: “As usual I’m expecting to have fun. I’m expecting to see an improvement from last year’s awards. I have the feeling tonight is going to be great. I’m hoping to have more fun.

Readers’ Mail: I Am So Pissed, Who The Heck Does Leila Djansi Thinks She Is To Call Ghanaians Faceless Idiots That Her Mother Would Not Employ To Feed Her Goats …

As much as I love GhanaCelebrities.Com including all its bloggers and founder for bringing us constant up to date Entertainment stories and gossips, I have also criticised them when I think they are being nightmare and unfair to some of our celebrities. However, in this Leila Djansi saga, I do not see anything awful having been done by GC.

The recent unnecessary, absurd and unprofessional attack of Leila Djansi on the founder & blogger of GhanaCelebrities.Com after the latter published non malicious and in fact a free publicity article on Leila Djansi’s upcoming movie “Ties That Binds” has amplified my blood pressure to the extent that I feel like kicking someone in the balls (that is if the person even has a ball).

I am so angry and feel this woman called Leila Djansi is taking Ghanaians for fools. How on earth does she call readers and commentators of this website “Faceless Idiots” when in fact the one being an idiot is just sitting next to her and that is her shameful self.

Who is this Leila Djansi at all and what does she think she is in the Ghanaian movie industry? How many movies has she done or worked on and yet she has been extremely deluded by some cowards and sycophants close to her who are unable to tell her the truth in return for some little dollars that she is the only good film-maker out there.
