Congrats to my boo of life Chiwetel! I would call him now but that might just be too much for him to handle now :)

Benedict Egbe said...

Good one for Chiwetel Ejiofor, its been long in coming. Even if he doesn't get the award, being nominated alone means a lot.

Chichi said...

That best actor category is stiffffff! Men Chiwetel is facing serious challenge!

Anonymous said...

And dey gave denzel for "training day" instead of malcolm x, when russel crowe clearly shld av won it 4 " a beautiful mind". Well lets see wat dey av 4 us ds year.

Chikaka said...

It gets tougher each year. DiCaprio and Ejiofor in the same category. Tough! Maybe Bradley Cooper will be compensated this year in the supporting role for men.

Good luck to them all hope chiwetel will get something dis time around

Unknown said...

Will it go to Chiwetel for a movie like '12 Years A Slave'? Abi you know hear the movie name? Did they give it to Denzel Washington for John-Q? They gave him instead for 'TRAINING DAY.' Some people hates what history brings before them...

D oscar nominees are almost d same with that of the golden globe .. Gudluck to chinwetel n lupita..

Unknown said...

9ja is stepping up ooooo.*dancingazonto*.

Um, Nigerians should stop claiming Chinwetel. That man is Nigerian in name only. If you ask him, he will tell you he is from London, not Anambra. So please chill. Be happy for him if you want; but stop with the claiming.

Was wondering about Ms Funmi Iyanda's tweet on Mr Chiwetel, now I get it. More money too.

This year had better be Leonardo D' Caprio' s year. He is arguably the best of his generation and he hasn't won an oscar

TRUE YEARNS said...

Anonymous said...

Is Chiwetel an African actor? You want him to tell you he is not Nigerian before you will know. Make una dey claim!

Anonymous said...

No...Leo DICaprio is who I am rooting for!!! It's so overdue...unfortunately if my bros ..Chitwel can win in it will be nice...but they won't give him....

Anonymous said...

Chitwetel is British o...all u African claimers...the only thing tieing him to Nigeria is his name....

Anonymous said...

Dyke abi Dick it doesn't follow. The Help where Octavia won and then Django Unchanged won too.
@anon January 16, 2014 at 4:19 PM don't let jealousy kill you. He's not Nigerian yet he kept his name. Listen to his interviews and not even the Ellen one he doesn't deny Nigeria.

Anonymous said...

I pray Chiwetel wins bt I think Leonardo/Amy Adams will win Best Actor/Actress and Fassbender/Nyong'o for Best Supporting Actor/Actress. Can't wait!

Anonymous said...

12 years a slave made my friend cry so am definitely gonna see it this weekend!!
