Hosted by Comedian AY Makun, the 4th Annual GIAMA Presented by PEM Offshore Will Take Place on October 17, 2015 in Houston, Texas

The official nominations for the 4th Annual Golden Icons Academy Movie Awards (GIAMA) presented by PEM Offshore have been announced. GIAMA celebrates the very best of African entertainment and rich culture through filmography.

This year in African cinema, directors, producers and our beloved actors showcased outstanding performances in several captivating stories that have continued to wow their audiences. A number of films submitted for nomination brought attention to issues such as violence against women, HIV, the fight for love, their country and survival.

Most of the submissions this year came from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Canada, and the United States. Watching several of the films that were nominated this year will remind viewers of the importance of patriotism and belief in a just world, while some of the other films nominated showed the unrelenting human spirit that fights for self-preservation and the truly complicated nature of love.

African films in the Diaspora also produced mind-blowing stories with unforgettable performances. All the nominated actors and actresses gave performances that will be embedded in the minds of the viewers for years to come.

This year’s GIAMA ceremony will be hosted by comedian and actor AY Makun and is set to captivate a lively audience on October 17, 2015 in Houston, Texas.

Congratulations to all, and thank you for telling our stories.
