Yvonne Nelson has always been frank and open about her opinions. The latest comment she just made may seem controversial but equally has good points to it.
For this year’s Ghana Movie Awards, Idris Elba’s new movie “Beast of No Nation” has been nominated for movie of the year, and Yvonne Nelson thinks that’s wrong. She believes that even though the movie was partly shot in Ghana, it doesn’t qualify since the producer, director, and everything related to the movie is foreign to Ghana:
“It’s not fair to all of us if they submit that movie because it is not a Ghanaian production. The fact that it was shot in Ghana doesn’t make it a Ghanaian production. So I won’t agree to that. If we are trying to promote our own production, why will we go for a foreign production? You cannot compare a Hollywood production to a Ghanaian movie. The budgets are totally different.”
What do you think? Agree with her?
