However, the founder and CEO of the Ghana Movie Awards, Fred Nuamah has disclosed that ”Beast of No Nation ” starring Idris Elba ( Actor In a Supporting Role ) qualifies to be nominated since it was ‘produced by a Ghanaian’.
He cited Tony Tagoe and Danny Damah as the producers of the movie, thus the reason why Beasts Of No Nation qualified for the award. The two were therefore nominated for the BestPicture nod. The film’s IMDb page lists Daniel Damah as a line producer for Ghana, and Tony Tagoe as co-producer.
