Nollywood actor and producer, Kunle Afolayan who won big at the 2015 AMAA awards said he’s not a fan of submitting his films for awards because they come with politics.

Kunle also said he’s grateful for the awards he grabbed at the AMAA and he’s looking forward for his crew to benefit from it.

In his words,

“I feel great, I feel good that these awards are coming but what I’m looking forward to is for my crew and cast to benefit from these awards. I have had enough of awards, now, for me, it’s about making films for the people. Yes, reasonably, the awards add to the marketing and publicity of the film but my technical crew put a lot into the productions.”

Speaking further, “If I have my way, I won’t go out to submit my films for awards, because whether we like it or not, awards come with a lot of politics. So, if you can’t handle the shock, don’t go there. Today, I’m excited. Sadiq Daba was overwhelmed to get the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and I want to commend the organizers of the AMAA for a beautiful outing here in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. No doubt, it’s a better edition and with the partnership with Facebook, the mileage was good and the experience spectacular. It’s a unique experience.” Afolayan said.
