The build up to the awards kicked off today Tuesday, May 11, 2011 as organizers of the award ceremonies through Mr. Seun Oloketuyi, CEO Best of Nollywood Group disclosed that a panel was already being put together to review the various works of thespians, producers, directors, marketers, radio and TV presenters and stakeholders in the Nigerian movie industry.

‘We have officially released the nominees of some of the categories that would make up this year’s edition of the annual BON awards’, Oloketuyi simply put it.

In addition, a fresh set of ‘special’ categories were unveiled. As the Oloketuyi explains, these categories do not need movie screening; as a result, they would be determined mainly by the votes of fans and ardent movie watchers, who would be voting online.

The first special category is the ‘Fresh and Scandal Free’, which is tagged with a prize of $2,500 (Two Thousand and five hundred US Dollars), and an all expenses paid weekend in Doha, Qatar. Others are ‘TV Presenter of the Year’, ‘Radio Presenter of the Year’ and ‘Most Promising Act’.

Mr. Oloketuyi also pointed out that as far as transparency goes, the Best of Nollywood Awards will remain corruptible and that the identity of this year’s judges will be made known to all.

‘This year, our procedures would be made as transparent as ever, even though we have always been transparent, we would be going a step further to announce and unveil our incorruptible judges this year’, Oloketuyi expresses.

Nollywood stars Yemi Blaq and Ini Edo will host the show, which will take place on Friday, November 11, 2011.
