The ninth edition of Ghana’s premier movie awards scheme, Ghana Movie Awards (GMA) took place yesterday. The night touted to be Ghana’s biggest movie night took place at the National Theatre.
Amidst the usual glitz and glamour, that characterizes the event; our movie stars added an extra touch of style on the red carpet too. The red carpet was hosted by the gorgeous, MzGee who sat in for Giovanni Caleb, thus for the GMA edition of the Tv3’s Showbiz360.
It was rather unfortunate that the event marred by severe sound hitches also began very late. However, the emcee, Afia Schwarzenezer did her best to keep the place alive with her rib-cracking comedy. She delivered a fantastic comic piece about the awful Cardi B meet and greet saga, amidst other trendy issues.
