On November 2, 2024, Nollywood took centre stage as Netflix hosted its much-anticipated annual celebration, “Lights, Camera…Naija!”
The event dedicated the night to honouring the industry’s Pioneers, Pillars, and Players. With this, it created an unforgettable tribute to the heart and soul of Nollywood.
With a dynamic blend of cinematic magic and stunning fashion, the evening showcased the very essence of Nigerian cinema.

Netflix placed the spotlight on three critical groups within Nollywood this year. The Pioneers—those who laid the foundation of Nollywood in its early days—received well-deserved recognition.
Meanwhile, the Pillars, representing the talented off-screen professionals, were celebrated for their essential contributions behind the scenes.
Finally, the Players, Nollywood’s vibrant on-screen talent, were honoured for captivating audiences across the globe.
Adding a touch of official recognition, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa graced the occasion. Warmly, Netflix’s VP of Content for the Middle East and Africa, Ben Amadasun welcomed him.
