The ‘Beasts of No Nation’ starred actor, Kobina Amissah-Sam has expressed his regrets towards the organizers of Ghana Movie Awards describing i as a scam.

According to Sam, Ghana’s event organizers in the entertainment industry seems to have no clue about the job and undermine the credibility of celebrities at the awards ceremony in Ghana.

He noted how bad it felt seeing filmmakers, giving status to the industry when organizers have failed numerous times.
‘I’m really surprised some Actors and Actresses who ought to know better and fight for the betterment of this Ghana movie industry are still interested in going to this year’s @ghanamovieawards1.."

Kobina Amissah-Sam revealed a few things done wrongly at the Ghana Movie Awards and called on event organizers to do better. Taking awards at the backstage for another winner, actors’ forced to perform as muscians were all habits condemned by the actor to be improved upon.

‘An awards scheme that has different account for every year. An awards scheme that couldn’t even publish list of winners of the previous awards after 48hrs of the show…An awards scheme which up till now still take the awards from you from backstage and present to another winner. An awards scheme which is yet to present the statuettes “Beast of No Nation” and other movies won some five years ago. An award scheme that actors are “forced” to perform as though they are musicians just so they can win awards. Need I say more? …’

He questioned winners of the Movie Awards accolade to come out and present the award, a reflection that celebrated members at the events still have not received their honor for the greater works they put up throughout the year.

 ‘In fact, I challenge last year’s winners to show me the statuettes they took home as awards winners. Just imagine the disgrace of awarding Idris Alba and the Director Carry Fugunaga and some 5 years down the line they still haven’t received their awards… And we support this?’

Kobina further urged all to unite and fights against the entertainment industry and ask for a better one, for he sees the now entertainment industry, as a scam.

‘We are not serious… Mawuko Kuadzi started a campaign for a boycott but as usual people didn’t support because they’ve spent money to buy “expensive” clothes to go and slay for the ‘gram… Is that all we care about as actors? … Can’t we see how disrespectful this awards is to we actors? … We deserve better’.

‘Let’s just boycott this “scam” of an awards and ask for a better one… And with this I expect the ‘A’ Class actors and actresses to be championing this boycott agenda. We the young actors look up to you guys for such fights. Fights that will help build and make our industry better. Fight that will prevent people from taking us for granted’..

‘YES… I’m an Actor… I featured in “Beast of No Nation” and I’m pissed we still haven’t gotten our awards since like 5-6 years ago’.
