News
22 February 2020
The nominees in the Best Actress in a Comedy for the seventh edition of Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards are collectively atarodo hot. Bimbo Ademoye, Ebele Okaro, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham each pack enough star power to leave you indecisive on who to vote for.
BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY

Bimbo Ademoye has been nominated for her role as Ajinde in ‘Looking For Baami’, Ebele Okaro for portraying Anayo’s mother in 'Smash', Funke Akindele as Olaide in 'Moms at War' while Toyin Abraham's roles as Adunni Fernandez in 'Bling Lagosians' and as Bisola in 'Kasanova' got her two nominations in the same category.

Bimbo snatches a nomination…again.

The last edition of Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards saw Bimbo Ademoye loose out to Nyce Wanueri in the same category that she’s nominated again this year. Much has since happened in Ademoye’s career and she now boasts lead roles in various productions, endorsement deals and a super snatched body which she describes as her “market…in a good way!” The role that bagged her this AMVCA Best Actress in a Comedy is that of Ajinde Ife who is the long lost daughter of a successful entrepreneur. She says the role was the highlight of her 2019 as well as "the most challenging she’s ever done since she started acting at the age of six.”

Is this the year that Ademoye finally walks away with an AMVCA after being nominated but not winning for her role in 'Backup Wife'? You can have a direct influence on that! Vote for her here if you want to see her making an acceptance speech come Saturday 14 March 2020.

It’s the new school versus ‘Mama of Nollywood’

If ever we needed to personify the definition of lasting star power, then we ought to look to Ebele Okaro. The decorated actress’ face is one of the most recognised out of Nollywood. Dubbed the ‘Mama of Nollywood', Okaro is no stranger to the AMVCAs as she has previously been nominated and won the golden trophy.

Her experience and wisdom are unmatched by her fellow nominees in this category, no doubt! She has previously competed with and beat the new school - she won AMVCA Best Supporting actress in Four One Love against the likes of Somkele Iyamah, Kehinde Bankole and Nomonde Mbusi. Will she be able to pull off that feat again? The power is in your fingers! You can go ahead and vote for her here is she’s your favourite in this category.

Akindele on the verge of making history

Is there a comedy series that is more recognisable, has enjoyed over 10 seasons and is as funny as Funke Akindele’s ‘Jennifer’s Diary’? In her own mantra: “Suliat kan. Aiyetoro kan,” Akindele’s is truly one of a kind. She has over the years transitioned into a business mogul who has inked deals as Brand Ambassador for iROKO and MegaGrowth Nigeria to name a few.

In ‘Moms at War’, Akindele stars alongside Omoni Oboli wherein they are two mothers who live in the same neighborhood but hate each other. Will she make history and win yet another AMVCA in this category? Vote for her here if you want her to!

It's a sweet life for bay Ire's mom

It seems Toyin Abraham is at the sweetest point in her career and her life right now. She found love again, became a first-time mom and is now nominated twice in the AMVCA Best Actress in a Comedy category. Those who saw her in both ‘Bling Lagosians’ and ‘Kasanova’ will agree that the actress is killing her game.

Is this the year in which Abrahim's star continues to rise? You can help her achieve just that by voting for her here.

It's pretty much a cliche to say that competition is hard in this category because, duh! See atodoros everywhere! Will it be Bimbo Ademoye, Ebele Okaro, Funke Akindele or Toyin Abraham who gets your vote? Get it in now before the 7 March deadline!
