Genevieve Snubbed Off 2016 AMAA Nominee List

Genevieve Snubbed Off 2016 AMAA Nominee List

Nigerian actress and model, Genevieve Nnaji has failed to make nominees’ list for AMAA 2016 because the movie star turned producer in 2015 with her movie, “Road To Yesterday” and won Best West African Movie at the AMVCA 2016, did not comply with the guidelines.

According to organisers of AMAA, the actress didn’t comply with the set out rules so she had to be excluded from the nominees’ list.

According to GREENNEWS, Genevieve was not be an oversight by AMAA organisers because they had reached out to the actress a number of times but she wasn’t forth coming with required details of her movie.

A representative of AMMA was reported to have said, “There are several stages to AMAA. We often reach out to potential nominees asking them to fill out forms, submit and comply with a few other steps which aid our selection processes among other things. Genevieve’s non-adherence to our instructions and failure to submit the required responses to AMAA even after she was reached several times led to her exclusion from the nominees list.”

“It’s simple. There couldn’t have been a consideration for her role in the movie “Road To Yesterday” because she didn’t comply with basic instructions. We contacted the movie star several times for almost three weeks, all to no avail, all we wanted was for her team to send in details about the movie, the video link, the DVD preview copy of the movie, “Road To Yesterday” and a few other details but they never responded. They eventually did after the nominees list came out. Her team responded on Monday, May 16 and it was already late, which is why Genevieve Nnaji didn’t make the AMAA 2016 nominations.”

“AMAA is very reputable and we’ve built an image across Africa. Over the years, we’ve become something like the Oscars of Africa and we try to maintain that standard. With Genevieve’s level of professionalism, we’d have thought she’d adhere to the rules but she didn’t.”
