NOSC Revote for no Nigerian Film for the Academy International Feature Film Category.

Nigeria’s Oscar selection committee NOSC has maintained its stance on not putting forward a film for the Academy International Feature Film category.

In a leaked video recorded on Thursday, October 20, 2022, the committee voted 9-6 in favor of protecting the initial votes of September 3, 2022.

Members of the 15-member committee who voted against were Mahmood Ali-Balogun, the committee’s Vice Chairperson, Mildred Okwo, Shaibu Husseini, Ego Boyo, Moses Babatope, and Kenneth Gyang.

The committee has been embroiled in a major internal crisis over its September voting process which saw the majority of its members vote for the non-eligibility of any of the three contending films KAP films Anikulapo, EbonyLife films’ Elesin Oba and Euphoria 360’s King of Thieves.
