Recall that New Telegraph had earlier reported that in October 2022, “Anikulapo” was disqualified from the nomination list of the 2023 Academy Awards, known as Oscars by the Nigeria Oscars selection committee.
Reeling out why the movie is not qualified to make an Oscar selection, the Committee said the movie is not eligible to fully represent Nigeria and compete in the International Feature Film category of the Oscar Awards.
Taking to his Instagram page to express his disappointment, Kunle Afolayan said, “I am so pleased and delighted that the whole world has decided to tag ANIKULAPO movie a masterpiece even though the Oscar selection committee thinks it’s not worth submitting for the Award. I will keep doing my own thing.”
However, the same movie, “Anikulapo” that was rejected in 2022 becomes the overall best in Africa in 2023.
