Other acting awards at the AMVCA went to Timini Egbuson and Toyin Abraham who won the Best Actor and Actress in a Drama respectively for their roles in Elevator Baby. Funke Akindele took home the AMVCA for Best Actress in a Comedy for her role in Moms at War. The biggest surprise of the night was Kemi Adetiba’s King of Boys which was totally snubbed. The movie which garnered seven nominations did not pick up a single award to the surprise and consternation of fans and critics.
