The 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) took a significant turn on Saturday night as My Father’s Shadow secured its second major award, winning the Best Score/Music category.
The win comes shortly after the film was honoured for its screenplay, signalling a strong night for the production also known as A Sombra do Meu Pai. The latest trophy honours the film’s auditory landscape, a standout feature for audiences and critics alike.
By winning the award for its soundtrack, the film successfully fended off stiff competition from several high-budget African productions. Industry observers at the venue have noted that the double victory positions the film as a frontrunner for the night’s top honours.
LEADERSHIP reports that the atmosphere at the gala remains electric as the 2026 awards ceremony enters its peak period. With several technical and acting categories still to be announced, the industry is closely watching to see if My Father’s Shadow will continue its winning streak as the night unfolds.
