Ghana Movie Awards 2018: Efia Odo Wins Award

The 2018 edition of Ghana Movie Awards (GMA) came off on Sunday, December 30 at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.

The comic actor Kalybos was the host on the night.

The award is held annually to recognise excellence in the Ghanaian movie industry.

Its first edition was held on December 25, 2010, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) and subsequently, the date was changed due to conflict with other events in December.

In honouring hardworking actresses and actors, the 2018 Ghana Movie Awards saw TV personality and actress, Efia Odo won her first ever award since the commencement of her acting career.

Efia Odo beat the likes of Yvonne Nelson, Asana Alhasan, among others to grab the much covetable award, best leading actress of the year.

She mounted the stage, took the award plaque and thanked organizers of the award ceremony and her fans for making this a reality.

However, the award was put on hold after the 2016 ceremony when Zylofon Media took over the organisation in July 2017.

Late this year, original franchise holder, GP Productions Limited, came out with the announcement that it was going to organise the award in 2018.
