Supa Modo, the film hoping to make history as the first Kenyan movie to receive a nomination at the Academy Awards nabbed a total of 12 nods when the Kalasha Awards 2018 nominees were revealed on October 17.
The film received nominations in the acting and directing categories as well as various technical categories.
In the TV category, last year’s winners Martin Githinji and Catherine Kamau will get to defend their crowns in the Best Lead Actor in a TV Drama and Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama categories respectively. The two clinched the Kalasha Award last year for the roles they play in the TV Drama Sue na Johnie, which did not get a nomination this year.
Unveiling of the nominees also set the ball rolling for the public voting phase of the awards process.
A brain child of the Kenya Film Commission, the Kalasha Awards hopes to encourage a healthy level of competition among film makers in Kenya which will in turn lead to higher levels of good practice within the industry.
The awards gala will be held on November 24.
We have unveiled the Nominees for the #Kalasha2018 Film and TV Awards. Public voting process is now open in preparation for the main award gala on the 24th November 2018.
