The nominees in the 28 categories of the African Movie Academy Awards, AMAA, the annual pan-African reward system for motion picture practitioners were announced on the 15th of May 2016, by Mr. Shaibu Husseini, the President of the Jury. At a media event which took place at the Protea Hotel, GRA Ikeja, Lagos, Husseini who also doubles as the Chairman of the College of Screeners reiterated in his address that AMAA is a jury based award and not a voting awards where nominees embark on voting campaigns to win any of the categories.   

The Jury, however, announced nominees into 26 categories as the Board of Jurors is yet to conclude on the remaining two categories. According to Husseini, "The remaining categories are special Jury awards and before the awards ceremony, we would have decided on the nominees and eventual winners and by that time we would have the full Jury members on ground." 

The Jury President also revealed that quality of movies that came into the competition have improved greatly, adding that more young people across the continent are coming into the industry as film makers with over 150 short film entries. "Our film makers only need to pay attention to details especially in the technical areas. We have the stories already especially film makers producing films in African languages.
