Kunle Remi has shared his honest thoughts about award seasons, revealing why he no longer gets overly excited about them despite being part of critically acclaimed projects.
Speaking candidly, the Nollywood actor said he does not believe that all submitted films are properly screened or that the right choices are always made during award selections. According to him, the experience of having a film submitted for all possible awards without receiving a single nomination deeply shaped his perspective.
“I’m not particular or super excited for award seasons because I don’t believe that every film is screened and the right choices are made,” Remi said, adding that the movie in question was carefully submitted across multiple platforms but was never picked.
While he did not disclose the title of the film, his remarks have sparked conversations among filmmakers and fans about transparency, fairness, and credibility within award institutions. Many creatives echoed similar frustrations, noting that quality work is sometimes overlooked due to politics, bias, or limited review processes.
His comments have since drawn mixed reactions online, with some praising his honesty and others calling for reform in how award bodies evaluate and select films.
