Selected awards and nominations

{{Incomplete list|date=June 2015}}Nnaji has received several awards and nominations for her work, including the Best Actress of the Year Award at the 2001 City People Awards and the Best Actress in a Leading Role Award at the 2005 Africa Movie Academy Awards.In 2019, her movie, Lionheart, was selected by the Nigerian Oscars Selection Committee (NOSC), as Nigeria’s submission to the Best International Feature Film Category of the 2020 Oscars. It was the first film ever submitted to the Oscars by Nigeria.WEB,www.screendaily.com/news/in-profile-the-92-international-feature-oscar-2020-contenders/5142361.article, In profile: the 92 international feature Oscar 2020 contenders, Dalton, Ben, Kiely, Emma, Screen, en, 12 November 2019, Epton, Nancy, 2019-10-09, 12 November 2019,web.archive.org/web/20191112203027/https://www.screendaily.com/news/in-profile-the-92-international-feature-oscar-2020-contenders/5142361.article, live, Subsequently, the oscar submission was cancelled for not meeting the language criteria. The film’s dialogue track is predominantly in the English language. However, the Oscar rules since 2006 dictate that eligible movies must have a “Predominantly non-English dialogue track.” This move was an attempt to open up more opportunities for films from diverse cultures.In a viral tweet on 4 November 2019, the Award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay, had questioned the Academy’s decision on nixing Lionheart Oscar race for using its official language â€” English. Nnaji, in response to Ava DuVernay’s Tweet, took to Twitter to explain that the country Nigeria as presently constituted, does boast of over 500 languages, making it so ethnically diverse than English, as the official language, can only be the language utilized to make the movie widely acceptable to the eclectic audience across the country, and even beyond the continent of Africa.In an article published by Culture writer and multiculturalism scholar- Kovie Biakolo titled Nigeria’s Lion Heart Disqualification is Bigger than the Oscars on the CNN opinion website; Kovie opined that “one cannot help but feel that Nigeria is ultimately being penalized for being a former British colony in using the very language that was imposed on its people, to communicate between them, and especially for art. Former French, Spanish and Portuguese colonies certainly don’t have this problem. And in truth, the Academy may be demonstrating a short-sighted or surface-level understanding of its purported inclusivity in this category”.WEB,www.cnn.com/2019/11/06/opinions/nigerian-oscars-film-disqualification-is-a-bigger-conversation-biakolo/index.html, Nigeria’s Lionheart disqualification is bigger than the Oscars, Biakolo, Opinion by Kovie, CNN, 6 November 2019, 12 November 2019, 13 November 2019,web.archive.org/web/20191113171301/https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/06/opinions/nigerian-oscars-film-disqualification-is-a-bigger-conversation-biakolo/index.html, live, She went further to criticize the Oscar board for allowing the nominations of British movies that were not done in English, which invariably is the Country’s main language but did so in the case of Nigeria whose cultural diversity could be confounding yet true.
