No need to be upset, Africa has a long way to go. Oscars is meant for Hollywood and nothing else.

Sadly, African movies have not evolved to the level of the possibility of Oscar nominations. When they stop recycling the same lame storylines and start being truly creative, others will acknowledge. I have never watched a Nigerian movie that made me say “wow”. They are predictable and embarrassing to watch most of the time. Even LionHeart was a disappointment. Get it together and then you might get the awards. Until then, be glad they are even allowing you to vote.
