The countdown is on for the 21st Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) 2025, as the African film industry gears up for one of its major nights of the year. On Sunday, November 9, the ceremony will gather Africa’s top actors, directors, and creative teams in Lagos for a celebration of cinematic achievement.
This year’s AMAA has captured attention thanks to a strong list of nominations. For example, Burkina Faso’s Katanga: Dance of the Scorpions leads with ten nominations. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Lisabi: The Uprising picked up seven, raising excitement among Nollywood fans. The official AMAA website confirms the full list across 26 categories, and it shows entries from across Africa and its diaspora.
The AMAA Awards have built a reputation by celebrating creativity, diversity, and technical talent in African cinema. From directing and editing to acting and production design, the show highlights the wide efforts behind film-craft across the continent. Over time, the event has helped African films reach wider audiences beyond their home countries.
Organisers promise a vibrant evening filled with live performances, industry networking, and cultural flair. As the date draws nearer, filmmakers, guests, and media are all preparing for what many insiders call a landmark edition.
