MUST READ: Prince David-Osei Blasts Fred Nuamah In His Open Letter To GMA

Actor and producer, Prince David-Osei has expressed his frustration and anger on efforts being made by the Founder of Ghana Movie Awards, Fred Nuamah for nominating a Hollywood movie "Beast of No Nation" in this year's Ghana Movie Award. 

It will be recalled that organizers of Ghana Movies Awards will sit down and correct their mistakes. Some of us have kept quiet because we thought it will get better over the years, for goodness sake!! this is the 6th edition and there's still no improvement.

Beast of No Nation is a Hollywood movie but was mostly shot in the Eastern part of Ghana, owned Netflix, so it shouldn't have won such nominations, that's 15 Nominations, which the Actor thinks it should have only gained 1 nomination that's Best International Movie. Because he remember in 2012 very well when they attempted submitting their Hollywood low budget movie he did "The Dead" but Fred Nuamah and his team declined it, saying it's an international movie though shot in Africa.

Prince David-Osei on his Instagram page wrote an open letter to the founder of Ghana Movie Award Fred Nuamah "Hence Ghana Movie Awards not European or Arabian or Ghana Netflix Awards"  he said.

Again said "There's no disputing the fact that Beast of No Nation is a great by all standards even seen billboard all over Hollywood Boulevard promoting the movie"

Beast of No Nation recently premiered in Ghana won many awards internationally this year which It starred Ghanaian actors and actress and was shot entirely in Ghana, with stupendous performances from "street boy' Abraham Attah the new kid making Ghana proud, Ama K Abebrese, Fred Amugi, David Dontoh and many more.

He feather thanks the GMA for nominating his movie 'LAST NIGHT' for Best Actor in Leading role which he recently premiered in Canada and some other states in America. He is still out of the country for his movie premiere tour.

The 2015 Ghana Movie Awards is happening live this December 30 in Accra.

Open letter to the Ceo of Ghana Movie Awards...... Mr Frederick Nuamah firstly,we want to thank you for GMA,an award which is geared to honour film makers and practitioners in Ghana.Hence Ghana Movie Awards not European or Arabian or Ghana Netflix Awards....Since the inception of this prestigious awards people have always doubted the credibility of this award;whether it's awards for friends and family of Frederick Nuamah or for Ghana Film industry???Some of us have kept quiet because we thought it will get better over the years, for goodness sake!! this is the 6th edition and there's still no improvement..Though am not in Ghana have seen nomination list online with Beast of No Nation topping with 15 nominations.. Let us reason here Mr Ceo and your judges. .There's no disputing the fact that Beast of No Nation is a great by all standards even seen billboard all over Hollywood Boulevard promoting the movie..It starred Ghanaian actors and was shot entirely in Ghana,with stupendous performances from Abraham the new kid making Ghana proud,Ama K,David Dontoh to mention but few..Now to the issue at hand,Mr Ceo how do u nominate a full Hollywood movie owned by Netflix for Ghana Movie Awards not even in international movie category but 15 nominations??I remember very well when we attempted submitting the Hollywood low budget movie I did Thedead you and your team declined it in 2012 saying it's an international movie though shot in Africa. ..How do you encourage young industrious film makers fighting against all odds to make an industry since we don't have one...if you nominate our local movies against Hollywood movies with a budget of 6millions dollars how can they go wrong??With 6millions dollars they resourceful ,so obviously they will make a good film against us struggling to even have producers,actors have now turned producers!!!What a SHAME for our industry...To thyself be true and stop leaving in denial...Thanks for nominating my movie LASTNIGHT for Best Actor in Leading role....but fix it!!! we the industry players not happy with you Mr GMA....Princedavidosei and friends for positive change in our industry....God bless Ghana Movies... @eddienartey @ameyaw112
