THE BEST 5 NOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES OF 2014
(As complied by Charles Novia)
Last year, charlesnoviadaily.com instituted a reward
system of sorts which gave to deserving recipients, citations of excellence
based on the films released in 2013. Mercy Johnson was the top actress of last
year and deservedly so.
As 2014 comes to an end, I and a few professional
critics, keeping to the criteria we used last year, have drawn up a list once
again for 2014. We watched quite a number of films which were considered
outstanding and through a professional process of elimination, shortlisted
names were finally arrived at. May I state here that these actresses on this
list have been judged on universal templates for acting and not on
what I term ‘perceived popularity’on red carpets, social media or feisty fan
clubs. There is a clear difference between being an overt socialite with
tepid performances in afterthought movies ‘just to be relevant’ and
wholeheartedly taking the business of acting seriously.
