Complete list of Winners of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards

The Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards has once again proven itself to be truly the biggest night of the African film industry! Sitting in the crowd, it was easy to see why and how in only three years, the show is well on its way to becoming the African Oscars. Every star in the continent’s film and music industry from Psquare to Genevieve stunned the red carpet and the Eko Hotel and Suites hall buzzed with excitement for the entirety of the show. It was definitely a big night for everyone present, and without a doubt an even bigger night for the stars that won. While Kunle Afolayan’s October 1 was the biggest winner, everyone from the nominees to the winners deserved the recognition they received because like one of the winners stated, making a film is hard but making a film in Africa is so much harder. See the full list of winners and nominees after this cut ...
