Popular Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim has stirs mixed reactions following her response to losing the AMVCA award for Best Actress to Osas Ighodaro.
This comes following the 2023 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) event on Saturday night that celebrated talents across the movie Industry.
The renowned actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim was nominated for her remarkable performance in the Netflix Original series “Shanty Town.”
She was nominated alongside her co-star in “Shanty Town,” Ini Edo, as well as Enado Odigie (“Flawsome”), Immaculata Oko Kasum (“Ile Owo”), Ini Dima-Okojie (“Flawsome”), Queen Nwokoye (“Strained”), Scarlet Gomez (“Wura”), and Nimo Loveline (“The Planters Plantation”).
Bimbo Ademoye was considered a strong contender for the category, thanks to her leading role in “Anikulapo.” However, it was Osas Ighodaro who ultimately won the award for her performance in “Man of God,” another Netflix project.
Shortly after Osas delivered her acceptance speech on the grand stage, Nse Ikpe-Etim tweeted a single laughing emoji, which sparked the kind of reaction one would anticipate in an online setting.
In her acceptance speech, Osas was excited to share how the win made her feel included again in the industry.
“This means a lot because there are many times I felt counted out. Thank you AMVCA, and Bolanle Austin-Peters for believing in me,” she said.
Ikpe-Etim’s Shanty Town co-star, Chidi Mokeme, also lost the Best Actor in a Drama award to Tobi Bakre (Brotherhood).
Anikulapo and Brotherhood tied with the most awards of the night with five each.
