Full list of AMVCA 9 nominations for 2023 awards

The highly anticipated Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) awards nominations list has been released ahead of the 9th edition of the prestigious event.

The awards organizers, MultiChoice, rolled out the list of nominations into various categories on the evening of Sunday, April 16, 2023.

The annual event, which by tradition recognises outstanding performances in television, film, and entertainment, has added digital content creation throughout Nollywood and the entire African content to the lineup.

Some categories are open for the public to vote for their preferred nominees, while others will be decided by a panel of judges to be set up by the organisers.

This year’s ceremony will be held in Lagos, Nigeria on 20 May.
