Ghanaian film star Jackie Appiah has once again taken center stage, securing a prestigious nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2024 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA). Her exceptional performance in the critically acclaimed film Red Carpet earned her this recognition, cementing her status as one of Africa’s most influential actresses.

Red Carpet, produced by Samis Media and directed by the acclaimed Frank Rajah Arase, has not only brought Appiah well-deserved attention but also garnered several other nominations. Among these is a nod for Achievement in Soundtrack, recognizing Bernie Anti for his remarkable contribution to the film’s score. The success of Red Carpet is a reflection of the creative vision of producer Samira Yakubu, an award-winning filmmaker and costumer known for her attention to detail and compelling storytelling.

The film boasts an ensemble cast of celebrated African actors, including Kalsoume Sinare, Grace Omaboe, Oscar Provencal, Deyemi Okanlawon, and Juliet Ibrahim. Additionally, standout performances by Selly Ghally, Roseline Ngissah, Adjetey Annang, Abeiku Santana, and Beverly Afaglo further highlight the depth of talent within the African acting community.

The 2024 Africa Movie Academy Awards, celebrating their 20th anniversary, remain one of the continent’s most prestigious platforms for recognizing cinematic excellence. The nomination ceremony, recently held at the Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, set the stage for the highly anticipated AMAA gala night, scheduled for November 2, 2024.

Jackie Appiah’s nomination not only acknowledges her immense talent but also underscores her ongoing influence in African cinema. As Red Carpet continues to garner praise and attention, its multiple nominations are a testament to its powerful storytelling and its contribution to the growth of African filmmaking.

As the AMAA gala approaches, excitement is building among fans and industry insiders to see if Appiah and Red Carpet will take home the coveted awards.
