It's finally here. The official 2013 Golden Icons
Academy Movie Awards (GIAMA) Nomination list
has been released and our favorite actors,
actresses and even some musicians litter the list.
The GIAMA vision is to celebrate the very best of
African films and to continually showcase their
unique talent, and expose in a meaningful manner
to the diaspora at large.
The GIAMA Organization serves as a platform to
ensure consistent acclaim to individuals and
groups that have exemplified competence,
diligence and innovation in the African film-
making industry. In addition, we are intentional
about showcasing rising stars who have earned
the right to share our global stage.
The nomination list include big names Rita
Dominic, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Jackie Appiah, Alex Ekubo,
Ramsey Nouah, and more. Singer Omawumi was
also nominated for her role in the movie, House Of
Gold.

the potential nominee had to be a new actor.
Thus, we regret to inform you that the category
