Timini, who recently took a break from movies, was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Funke Akindele’s acclaimed film, ‘A Tribe Called Judah.’ However, this nomination has stirred mixed reactions on social media.
The 36-year-old actor will be vying for the category against other talented nominees, including Itele D icon (Jagun Jagun), Alexx Ekubo (Afamefuna), Demola Adedoyin (Breath of Life), Ropo Ewenla (Over the Bridge), Levi Chikere (The Blood Vessel), and Gregory Ojefua (This Is Lagos).
Despite his nomination, netizens have expressed discontent, arguing that Timini’s co-star, Tobi Makinde, who portrayed ‘Shina’ in the same film, was more deserving of the recognition. ‘A Tribe Called Judah,’ featuring an ensemble cast including Funke Akindele, Jide-kene Achufusi, Uzee Usman, Tobi Makinde, and Olumide Oworu, tells the story of a single mother and her five children.
Social media users took to various platforms to voice their opinions, questioning the selection process and suggesting alternative nominees. Some highlighted the absence of Tobi Makinde’s nomination, emphasizing his remarkable performance in ‘A Tribe Called Judah.’
Critics of the nomination echoed sentiments that Timini’s portrayal of ‘Pere’ in the film didn’t overshadow Tobi Makinde’s contribution to the movie’s success.
In response to the nominations, users expressed their disappointment and called for a reassessment of the selection criteria, urging recognition for overlooked talents like Tobi Makinde.
The controversy surrounding Timini Egbuson’s nomination has sparked discussions about the transparency and fairness of award nominations in the entertainment industry.
