All eyes were on undoubtedly on the entertainment industry
last Saturday night, 6th of March, 2016 as the prestigious Eko Hotel
and Suites, Victoria Island located in Lagos played
host to a throng of television stars and starlets. The Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Award has
evolved into one of Africa’s most prestigious movie award held in celebration
and recognition of the people with outstanding performance and those who have
made remarkable contribution in the film and television industry.
An overwhelming number extending to about 2,500 entries from
across Africa competed for 26 categories and as one would expect, the red
carpet moment was one of the major highlights of the evening. Celebrities
brought their couture game on for the event and many looks caused quite a stir
across various social media platforms. Minnie Dlamini, a South African
beauty took up hosting duties alongside IK Osakioduwa. Shirley Frimpong Manso
from Ghana took home
the award for the ‘Best Picture Editor’ category.
Stephanie Linus stole the show in a green ensemble designed
by renowned Nigerian designer Lisa Folawiyo, as her movie ‘Dry’ won the coveted
category for the best overall movie. Genevieve Nnaji can do no wrong as regards style, the ‘Road
to Yesterday’ star was spotted in a dazzling FnR dress and her movie won the
award for the Best West African Movie.
Other winners like Adesua Etomi who won the award for the
Best Actress, Kemi Lala Akindoju and Funke Akindele did not fail to wow us with
their outfits. The men were not left out as Folarin Falana popularly known
as Falz, veteran Actor Ricahrd Mofe Damijo, Mike Ezuruonye, Chris Attoh amongst
others looked all shades of dapper on the red carpet.
