Thoughts on the 2010 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) winners

The 2010 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) winners have been announced. I got to know about the winners through the AMAA's Facebook page while discussing it with another friend. How cute? Social networking all the way! Ghanaian movies did quite well but I think the Nigerian movie, Figurine, stole the show. Someone please get me that movie. You know I'll write a good review :-) Ghanaian movies did well. Perfect Picture picked up a bunch of awards as well as I Sing Of a Well (ISOAW) which took home two. " A Sting In a Tale" (ASIAT) also won one. Here is the full list of winners; and in bold is who I predicted would/should win since I haven't seen all the movies. BEST DOCUMENTARY - 3. Bariga Boys(Nigeria) Not sure what this is about but it's a must see. BEST SHORT FILM - 2. The Abbys Boys -(South Africa) I guess this makes up for the few South African nominations. Lekker. BEST ANIMATION - 1. Hanayns Shoe (Egypt) It's nice to see an Egyptian movie win some...
