Joke Silva Opens Up on Why Some Films Missed AMVCA Nominations

As excitement grows for the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, veteran actress Joke Silva addresses criticism over this year’s nominees. Silva, who chairs the AMVCA judging panel, explains that non-voting categories are decided by industry experts, while public votes count only in designated awards. She highlights a rigorous, two-tier scoring system to ensure fairness. Despite the strict process, Silva admits she was surprised by the omission of certain quality projects. She stresses that final nods are based solely on aggregate scores, not popularity. On what makes an award-winning performance, Silva says authenticity and transformation are key. The upcoming ceremony will bring together Africa’s film community to celebrate outstanding work in film and television.
