This year’s could possibly be the turning point for Ghana. 500 movies were submitted to be considered for the African Movie Academy Awards, the number was trimmed down to 280 movies among those are 5 Ghanaian movies in serious contention.

The idea of having an awards scheme to honour excellence in the Ghanaian movie industry may be long overdue especially now that there are signs of improvement in certain aspects of movie production in the country. The GhallyGold Awards was launched on Tuesday January 12 to do just that.
