The Surprising, Historic & Memorable Moments from Past AMVCAs
Lights, camera, action! The AMVCA has been at the pinnacle of award shows since its inception in 2013, celebrating the best in film with unforgettable moments that go down in history.
So, to get us into the AMVCA spirit, we decided to take a walk down memory lane and relive some of the moments that went down at previous AMVCA ceremonies. Here are some of the most unforgettable moments in AMVCA history.
