Nigeria’& rsquo; s & lsquo; The Milkmaid & rsquo; was the biggest winner of the evening with five wins, followed carefully by Lesotho’& rsquo; s & lsquo; This Is Not A Burial, It & rsquo; s A
Resurrection & rsquo; with four victories. The first-ever virtual Africa Film Academy Awards, hosted by star, Lorenzo Menakaya, held on December 20, 2020 amid technical concerns that caused a nearly two-hour delay.
Desmond Ovbiagele’& rsquo‘; s & lsquo; The Milkmaid & rsquo; was unsurprisingly the largest victor of the evening, taking house five triumphes of eight elections. Lesotho’& rsquo; s Oscars 2020 entry, ‘& lsquo; This Is Not A Burial, It’& rsquo; s A Rebirth & rsquo; routed Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese
