Full List Of Winners At AMAAs 2016

The 12th edition of the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAAs) 2016, held over the weekend at Dr Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt; Rivers State capital.

Celebrities came out in their finest and some left with smiles on their faces for bagging an award or two.

The event, which many described as another great outing for Nollywood and indeed, the African continent, also honoured veteran actor, Olu Jacobs and his wife, Joke Silva, Richard Mofe Damijo and star of the now rested New Masquerade, Tony Akposhore a.k.a Zakky, with AMAA Lifetime Achievement Awards for their immense contributions to the growth of the African film industry.
