Ama K Abebrese also added that given the international success Ghanaians in the diaspora are achieving in the film industry, she is confident that a Ghanaian will win the prestigious award.

“It is going to happen. I am going to win an Oscar. Until it’s done, some people will not believe it,” she stressed.

She added:

“Rocky Dawuni was nominated for a Grammy; other Ghanaians have also been nominated; Wizkid got nominated and won; Burna Boy also won so the truth is Africans, Ghanaians, it is possible.
“I just realized something with film – the business of film is not like music at the moment. When that changes, it will get to a point where people will start talking about it,”
