LOS ANGELES, California – In 2003, Tom Cruise starred in The Last Samurai, there was a huge buzz in Hollywood that Tom Cruise would get the best actor honor at the Oscars®. That didn’t happen but at that same time an unknown Actor/Director, Frank Ezenekwe got inspired after he overheard a group men arguing in a restaurant in Hollywood. Essentially they said that Tom Cruise will not will the Academy Awards. In fact, someone also said that he would never win it and that’s what triggered Frank to find a solution to this problem of exclusion in Hollywood.
They’re many reasons why many filmmakers never get honored by Hollywood, sometimes its political and other times it’s just plain wrong and un-American. “It took me while to come to terms that Hollywood could discriminate against TC”, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen a bad ending. Blacks in Hollywood seldom get invited to the party and boycotting awards makes no sense, we’ve been through #Oscarsowhite and the MeToo movement but now we have the American Film Awards®, inclusive, modern and true.
It’s really about great films and the people who make them, everything else is noise. You will not see more than 10 great films every year, these are the films we celebrate and you are all invited to the show. From Bollywood to Nollywood and Hollywood, we invite you to the 16th annual American Film Awards® on Tuesday the 22nd of February, 2022 at The Regal Cinemas, LA Live, in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets are available at theAfas.com
