Stan Nze, a Nollywood star and the current winner of the AMVCA Best Actor in a Drama award, won the Best African Actor award for his role in “Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story.” Bryan Okoye and Michael Uchegbu were also nominated for this award.

Osas Ighodaro and Ijeoma Grace Agu were recognised in the Best African Actress category, which was won by South Africa’s Nqobile “Nunu” Khumalo.
