"Ghollywood" Dominates African Magic Viewers Choice Awards

The full list of the African Magic Viewers Choice awards nominations have finally been released.  The list includes 24 categories in which Funke akindele is up for 3. 

Mirror boy and Man on Ground seems to be the talking point in the movie categories as the highly rated movies have been nominated in multiple hot categories for all the right reasons. 

Another talking point is the fact that the list is also drowned with a host of Ghanaian and Nigerian Acts.

Well Ghana isn't just taking over from Nigeria as boss on the football pitch but they also seem to be brushing aside the Giants of Africa in the film and movie business...o'well we still boss over them in the oil business tho
