Why Mike Ezuruonye thinks Nollywood movies will get Oscar nominations

In an interview with NAN, Ezuruonye stated that Nollywood is the best in Africa and would soon get the due recognition it deserves.

“Everything about Nollywood movies has vastly improved over the years and the movies that come out have great cinematography, editing and ticks all the right boxes. Nollywood movies have stuck to its originality while still improving in other ways and we are the best in Africa in terms of everything that concerns movie production.

“The Academy Awards, which is also known as the Oscar, is an award that every actor wants to get because it takes you to a whole different level and I’m pretty sure that our movies would soon be nominated for it.

“Hopefully, my movies would be first to win an Oscar award and help in putting Nollywood on the global map,” he said.

Ezuruonye who directed the movie, Lagos Real Fake Life, said that the upcoming movie would help to address the pressures of living fake lifestyles for the sake of social media.
