This weekend, Nollywood shifted base to an unexpected location! Raleigh, North Carolina was the host city for the 2011 Nollywood & African Film Critics’ Awards (NAFCA). Nollywood stars including Susan Peters, Oge Okoye and John Dumelo attended the event and BN will bring you the full scoop from the event soon.

Nigerian actress Susan Peters won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award for her role in Emem Isong’s “Bursting Out”, Susan’s award acceptance speech was a very emotional one as she thanked her fans for all their support and propelling her career to this point.

        RE: she should have ditched the tights!

        NO SHE COULDNT. THE TIGHTS ARE NOT FOR FASHION DECORATION — ITS QUITE COLD HERE IN THE WESTERN WORLD THIS TIME OF YEAR. ANNOYINGLY COLD…YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE PRECAUTION…ESPECIALLY AS ONE NOT USED TO THE WEATHER.

        • me September 21, 2011 at 9:28 PM

          You’re damn right jackie!! they don’t understand how hideous the cold can be down here. Thats the best she could wear, it would have been more hideous had she worn black tights either. We blacks unlike the whites do not have a brown coloured tights to close up to match our skin colour….If a lighter skinned person wore the tights, ppl wouldn’t have even noticed she wore tights. O! well it’s not her fault there aint tights made to match her skin colour. so babe, you rock! And anybody criticizing the tights is ignorant

    • missb September 21, 2011 at 11:15 AM

    • Bex September 21, 2011 at 11:19 AM

      Puke-inducing tights! Just yucky!

      • Aba September 21, 2011 at 1:17 PM

        It is not tights..it is sheer white stockings and I think it look good.

    • Lady G September 21, 2011 at 11:46 AM

    • Aibee September 21, 2011 at 11:57 AM

      Congrats Susan. Those tights spoit what would have been an otherwise perfect outfit.

    • adaeze September 21, 2011 at 12:02 PM

      susan honey you are a great actress, but i got one word for you………whity alien.

    • moi! September 21, 2011 at 12:06 PM

      Congratulations Susan! But why is the event abroad and not here in Nigeria? I f its supposed to be a nollywood event why host where majority of those in the industry cannot attend? Just wondering.

    • dyn September 21, 2011 at 12:12 PM

    • kikiluv September 21, 2011 at 12:27 PM

      A big Congratulations Susan,and for the dress its perfectly in order.U rock my dear.

    • JoJo September 21, 2011 at 1:02 PM

      Her stockings dont look that bad, her legs are long lean and slim. I acyually think she pulled it off. It would have looked weird on bare skin.

    • cathy September 21, 2011 at 1:12 PM

      congrats gurl

    • chi chi September 21, 2011 at 1:30 PM

      aww, she looks so happy. Congrats 2 her. she should have gone bare legged sha, but i must say, she looks good and radiant (just needs a change in hair-stylist/hair extension buyer-fixer choice). I really enjoyed her acting in that film, so i’m glad she got good recognition for her work.

    • MelonX September 21, 2011 at 1:39 PM

      Beautiful dress, but why spoil it with the shiny pantyhose? If you need to cover scars on those beautiful legs a nude ptyhs would have done just fine.

    • Mimi September 21, 2011 at 2:19 PM

      The dress was not shabby at all but i didnt like the tights.

    • unknown September 21, 2011 at 2:25 PM

      first of black people shud neva be caught dead with tights like that…and it is a big fashion NO to wear tights with open toe shoes…that look wudda been so hot without those tights because that is a very nice dress

    • G September 21, 2011 at 3:24 PM

      Lets focus on the award and leave d dress pleeeeaaaasssseeeee..ahahah…its too much criticism already *hiss*

    • Teegold September 21, 2011 at 3:56 PM

    • konnie September 21, 2011 at 4:12 PM

      I think she looks lovely and shows of her great body

    • Judith September 21, 2011 at 6:44 PM

      Congrats. I wounder why people enjoy nudity. You deserve what you got.

    • Tayms September 21, 2011 at 8:32 PM

    • Truth!!! September 21, 2011 at 9:15 PM

      She messed up that gorgeous Jovani dress with her horrible tight!!! Gahh Lee! A black tights could have been easier on the eyes, or NO tights at all! The shoes, on point, Can never go wrong in a Jovani dress, but Gahh lee, those tights! Come on sister!!!

      It’s like the order of the night were Jovani dresses.. the lady beside her in the first picture is also wearing a Jovani.

    • na me September 21, 2011 at 9:39 PM

      conggrats susan.u desrve it…wonder why u haven’t gotten one all dis while os u re such a good actress….hmmmm,but those pantsss..No no no.luv ur dress

    • fyi September 21, 2011 at 11:11 PM

      Raleigh, is in the South, its not that cold there, she messed up her Sherri Hill illusion dress in those tights!!!

    • Haters September 21, 2011 at 11:23 PM

      When will people ever focus on progress? You guys leave the panty hose,mores o they were nude ones,if you have a problem bring your own fashion to the book! Haters! You go gurl,you rock that dress ..you have always rocked the red carpet,@ truth writing rubbish only you know it’s a jovanni dress lol just to knw it’s an insider…where’s yours? Lol thankGod Bella makes us see our beautiful stars always becos if it’s for people like you we will never come here… Go girl they can’t stop your shine,happy you won the award

    • cool cat September 22, 2011 at 3:11 AM

      Pls u do no wear giovani with underwear, its completely sheer save for the embellishments so if u will fail d “pencil test”, don’t bother. Black women should never ever wear sheer/nude tights, talk less of WHITE GLOSSY tights. Was she tryin to look golden being that she was up for an award? Ended up looking like an ice cream cone, white sequins
      + gold shoes???

      Big lol @jackie’s comment, making reference to “the western world” clearly shows dat u have not been thru even MM2. If u’ve been to the western world u would knw its not so cold now, neither will sheer tights protect u from d weather. Besides, Susan travels pretty often enough to brave d weather for a few mins on d red carpet

      @haters, do u come to BN for progress reports? And how does progress correlate with seeing celebs on BN?

      • me September 22, 2011 at 4:10 PM

        I don’t know where it is abroad you live, but hey! its almost end of Autumn and its a cold weather ight now, and not everyone can brave the cold by wearing a mini dress such as that! stop been mean speaking. It must not be winter before you can acknowledge that it is cold. If she does not live abroad, it does not matter how often she visits…….she may never get used to Autumn cold, because not even all the people who live here are used to it even the whites themselves!!!!

    • Tommygirl. September 22, 2011 at 8:23 AM

      Seriously??? all y’all notice are her tights?? SMH!! i suggest that if y’all wanna critize then do it concstructively since everyone is now a fashion critic. God help us all.
      Congrats Susan, Jah has blessed your hustle!

    • alhaji yaba September 22, 2011 at 12:42 PM

      she is/looks beautiful, tights or no tights! congrats hun. x

    • olawealth September 22, 2011 at 4:36 PM

      the tights were on point the only thing in d “how do i look” stuff is just the dull colour of shoe she wore, a brighter colour would have been better.keep it up!!!

    • GENEVIEVE September 22, 2011 at 10:33 PM

    • Haters September 23, 2011 at 4:27 AM
