The AMVCA is an annual event where actors, actresses, and films are recognised for their achievements in television, film, entertainment, and digital content creation across Nollywood and the entire African continent in the last one year.
Many filmmakers look forward to the award ceremony because it is one of the biggest in Nigeria and the African continent as whole.
Many actors including Femi Adebayo, Wole Ojo, Breath of Life, won big at he 2024 edition of the category of the award.
As the big event draws closer, TheTalk.NG organised a poll for its readers to choose who they believe will take home the coveted award in the Best Actor category.
How Nigerians voted in the poll
The likes of Femi Adebayo in his movie, Seven Doors, Lateef Adedimeji in Lisabi, Femi Branch in House of Ga’a, Stan Nze in Suspicion, Bob Manuel in Princess on a Hill, Thapelo Makeona in Skeleton Coast. Also, Bucci Franklin in The Weekend, and Gideon Okeke in Tokunbo were all nominated for the same category.

Stan Nze, who took the lead role in Suspicion, got 10%. The rest of the actor unfortunately didn’t get any vote from their fans.
