This year, a select jury will choose the winners for this category rather than the usual open vote method. This is in response to criticism that big-name actors with large social media followings win the most awards rather than the actors who act the best.
There will be sixteen categories in total where viewers can choose not to cast a vote, such as Best Lead Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Director, Best Writing in a Movie and TV Series, Best Movie and TV Series, Best Short Film, Best Documentary, and Best Sound Design, Editing, and Makeup.
In addition to two special appreciation awards, the AMVCA will present 25 awards.
The public will then be able to vote in eight categories: Best Digital Content Creator; Best Indigenous Language (West, East, and Southern Africa); Best Multichoice Talent Factory Film; Best Scripted Africa Magic Original; and Best Indigenous Africa Magic Original.
