Winners at the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) were celebrated through ‘The Don’s Table’, an initiative powered by Don Julio Tequila as part of the brand’s sponsorship of the prestigious event.

Held in Lagos, the gathering became one of the standout moments of the evening as award winners, filmmakers and entertainment personalities came together for conversations focused on storytelling, discipline and the growing global impact of African film and television.

Hosted by Uti Nwachukwu, ‘The Don’s Table’ featured some of the night’s biggest winners, including Uzor Arukwe, who clinched the Best Actor award. Popularly known as “Odogwu,” Arukwe received loud cheers from guests following the announcement of his victory.

Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman won the Best Supporting Actress category for her performances across film and television, while My Father’s Shadow emerged as Best Film of the Year.

Producers Funmbi Ogunbawo and Wale Davis were recognised for the project, which many industry observers say reflects the increasing international visibility of African storytelling.

As part of the celebration, winners were presented with engraved bottles of Don Julio 1942 to commemorate their achievements.

The evening also featured a celebratory toast led by Bovi Ugboma, host of the 2026 AMVCA, as guests celebrated the continued growth of Africa’s entertainment industry.

On the red carpet, Uche Montana was named Fashion Icon of the Night for her custom phoenix-inspired outfit designed by Tubo Bereni.

The Best Supporting Actress award presentation was conducted by Ose Osundeko, Head of Media and Content at SWC Africa, alongside Montana.

Through its presence at this year’s AMVCA, Don Julio Tequila reinforced conversations around excellence, creativity and the expanding global influence of African entertainment while celebrating the actors, filmmakers and storytellers shaping the industry’s future.
