It is so disheartening how
nominations are made in our own Academy Award for Christ sake, let alone
winning. I was going through the nomination list of AMAA and discovered Clarion
Chukwura was nominated as the best actress in Apaye as against Mbong Amata and
I ask my self why? Why her? I ask my self, what condition and criteria is she
been nominated as the best actress. Going by the film, she had less challenging
role than the younger Apaye played by Mbong Amata. Clarion was basically a
narrator in the film. Yes she handled the role just like a professional that
she is and nothing more. No specialty attached to her role. I was quite
disappointed not because Clarion wasn’t good with her role but I also think
Mbong Amata was supposed to be on the list of nominees. I think both Clarion and
Mbong where both exceptional in that role but to me, Mbong had more challenging
situations than that of Clarion. So AMMA should always make us know the criterion
in which these nominations are made. We sure need an explanation.
