\"DSC_1702\"Actress, Jackie Appiah continues to be on the rise following her recent \u2018Best Actress in a Leading Role\u2019 honours at the 2010 African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for her role in \u2018Perfect Picture\u2019<\/em>. Jackie, who played the role of a flustered wife battling with sexual incompatible with her new husband, has described her new achievement as exciting and a beautiful feeling.<\/p>\n

The young and beautiful actress is not new to the AMA Awards; in 2007 she won the nod for \u2018Best Actress in a Supporting Role\u2019 for \u2018Beyonce<\/em>\u2019 and was nominated the following year for \u2018Best Actress in a Leading role\u2019 for \u2018Princess Tyra\u2019<\/em>. So winning the award this year brings a good sense of achievement and growth for her. \u201cIt was a beautiful feeling and I am just so happy. It shows that God is on my side and people are out there watching my works and appreciating what I do\u201d, she comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the star actress, winning the best actress nod means she now has to screen the scripts that come her way and make sure she always goes in for the best. She was particularly impressed with Shirley Frimpong-Manso\u2019s script for the \u2018Perfect Picture\u2019 and she comments: \u201cThe first time I got the script for perfect picture, I fell in love with it. I just knew that it was a good and beautiful script. And look at how far it has brought me now\u201d.<\/p>\n

Winning the coveted award holds great prospects for Jackie Appiah and she hopes that this achievement would take her career to the next level. When asked whether this means her fees or rates would go up, she answered: \u201cBeing the queen for the African Movie Academy Awards in 2010 as best actress comes with a lot. Yea, probably the fees will go higher a little; let\u2019s see. But I will choose good scripts, good movies, good directors, and good crews. I will ask for good cast; I will make sure I know whom I am working with\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also believes that the recent achievements of Ghanaian movies and actors at the African Movie Academy Awards are strong indications of the improvements and growth in the Ghanaian movie industry. \u201cThis goes to show that Ghanaian movies are moving in the right path, we are sitting up right now. We are bringing in different kinds of cameras, better scripts, better locations, and better costumes. It goes to show that people are sitting up and are trying to get serious with the business right now; it\u2019s not a joke anymore. We are really happy because we have had a lot of nominations and wins in the past three years. It goes to show that we are on the right path and I thank God for that\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jackie can soon be seen in the new movie, \u2018Foreplay\u2019. She also recently finished shooting a production alongside Nigerian sensation, Yemi Blaq in which she plays the role of a female rapper. There is certainly a lot more to come from the reigning queen of African cinema.<\/p>\n
