The official 2013
Golden Icons Academy Movie Awards (GIAMA) Nomination list has been released and
our favorite actors, actresses and even some musicians litter the list.
The GIAMA vision is
to celebrate the very best of African films and to continually showcase their
unique talent, and expose in a meaningful manner to the diaspora at large.
The GIAMA
Organization serves as a platform to ensure consistent acclaim to individuals
and groups that have exemplified competence, diligence and innovation in the
African film-making industry. In addition, we are intentional about showcasing
rising stars who have earned the right to share our global stage.
The nomination list
include big names Rita Dominic, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Jackie Appiah, Alex Ekubo,
Ramsey Nouah, and more. Singer Omawumi was also nominated for her role in the
movie, House Of Gold.
