Nse Ikpe-Etim responds to losing AMVCA award to Osas with laugh emoji tweet

Osas won the prestigious AMVCA award over eight other actresses.A night of celebration for some of Nollywood's best and brightest at the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) ceremony unavoidably concluded in some comical drama that may reverberate for days to come.Nse Ikpe-Etim, a veteran actress, raised some eyebrows when she didn't win the Best Actress in a Drama Movie or TV Series award for her tenacious role in Shanty Town, a Netflix Original series, for which she was nominated. Enado Odigie (Flawsome), Immaculata Oko-Kasum (Ile Owo), Ini Dima-Okojie (Flawsome), Queen Nwokoye (Strained), Scarlet Gomez (Wura), and Nimo Loveline (The Planters Plantation) were also nominated.Bimbo Ademoye was a strong favourite for the category for her starring role in Anikulapo, but it was Osas Ighodaro who walked away with the trophy for the night for Man of God, another Netflix project.Minutes after Osas gave her speech on the big stage, Ikpe-Etim tweeted a single laugh emoji which generated the kind of reaction you'd expect online.
