Greetings from the Commission!

Exciting things are happening within the industry- the first ever “Kenyan Oscars” is in its initial stages of preparation.

Our intention is to award excellence in TV and film and… it’s about time!!

We want to follow the Oscar tradition and if you look at our event, it’s a cross between the Emmys and the Oscars — the Emmys because of the TV and the Oscars because of film. The categories we have picked are also in many ways similar to what you would find at those awards. We also want to make sure that it becomes an entity in itself. We would even like it to be registered as a limited company at some point, so that it can run itself.

KFC is hoping to stimulate competition among actors and the key individuals involved in film and TV.

The schedule of the events leading up to the awards gala has been drafted, complete with a tentative time schedule. The entries will be judged in three stages. There will be a Nomination Academy to receive and classify them and then nominate a number for each category.
The nominated entries will be announced and passed to a Voting Academy to pick their preferences in each category. The structure of the voting is such that the public will be involved at some stage to contribute 40 per cent of the votes finally declaring the winning entries.
