When GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke with Nadia Buari after grabbing a nomination in the �Best Supporting Actress� category for the upcoming Ghana Movie Awards, she said ��wow it�s good news. It makes me know that at least my works are appreciated. I just wasn�t looking forward to it. My mind was basically opened.� Though the fast growing and outspoken actress, Helen Asante is excited about her nomination too, she is somehow pessimistic about winning the award on Christmas day. Nadia was nominated for a hardcore-Police-Officer-role in the hugely successful movie �Who Owns The City�, produced by HM Films and directed by Nollywood big boy Ifeanyi Inyeabor. Helen Asante on the other hand picked a slot in the next category in her role in Shirley Frimpong Manso�s �Adams Apple 3�. Speaking with GhanaCelebrities.Com about her nominations, Helen thinks Nadia being in the category will make things difficult for her, �It�s very challenging. I�m tensed because the category is serious. I mean I�m there with Nadia Buari, please God. I was nominated �Best Actress In Supporting role� for Adams Apple 3�, she screamed. Responding on why she singled out Nadia Buari, probably a sign of being scared of her. She openly admitted to GhanaCelebrities.Com that �I�m scared�, continuing that, �I wish I can tell her, Nadia please let me have [award] this. She is my big sister, so hey it wouldn�t be bad if she let me have it. So yeah, I feel great [Aside the fears].� Answering a question about whether she thinks Nadia Buari will worry her in the category. She answered in affirmative. �I think she is a force for me to reckon with. Seriously because, I mean come on Nadia Buari in capital letters. Roselyn Ngissah [Somewhere In Africa], [co-winner] Best Actress for last year. Martha Ankomah [Bed Of Roses] is there. This is serious challenge for me.� She ended. As she centred her attention on Nadia Buari, Roselyn Ngissah and Martha Ankomah, Helen forgot that, Ghana�s current �Favourite Actress� Yvonne Nelson [4 Play Reloaded] is also in the category and can cause a major surprise. The second edition of the Ghana Movie Awards comes off on Sunday, December 25 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
