The 2014 African Magic Viewers Choice Award took place yesterday the 8th of March. The event was well attended by almost all that matter in the movie industry in Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
By and large, the Award event is adjuged a huge success holding to the quality of attendance, the organization of the event, and the interests among film makers. A few criticism from observers is worth noting: One, the few occasion of Microphone Failure and two, the coordination of the Red Carpet, especially the Presenters - Denrele Edun and Uti Nwachukwu. Some feel Derenle could have tone down on his antics and Uti could be more charismatic and less boring.
Well, generally, I think it was an inmeasurable success, and there is much room for improvement.
