Uti Nwachukwu hosts the 2010 Soundcity Music Video Awards; Banky W and 2Face emerge as multiple winners!

(CP-Africa) – The 2010 Soundcity Music Video Awards took place on Sunday, November 21st at Eko Hotel, Lagos. Hosted by this year’s Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu, the event included performances by Asa, Banky W, Sasha, the Mo’ Hits Crew among others as well as a pool side fashion show. There were many funny moments at this year’s event. For instance, when Goldie won her award for Best Female Video, Eldee the Don quickly came on stage, grabbed the mic and imitated Kanye West by saying “I’mma let you finish but…”  and the crowd burst into laughter.

Also, Uti who came on stage like a space man donned in a shiny silver suit covering his entire body frame had himself stripped by three models thus promptly unveiling his stylish black suit and hair cut. As Uti went on to announce the start of the show, a voice impersonating Big Brother informed him that his last task was to host the 3rd  edition of the SMVAs. Uti immediately accepted his task. When asked by Big Brother if he thought he could win all the money, Uti quickly responded: “I’ve won it already now, what are you talking about?” to hearty laughter and applause from the crowd!

2 face Idibia and Banky W emerged as the events big winners with 2 face winning in the Best Pop Video category for Implication and in the Best Western category and with Banky W winning in the Best Male Video and Best Video (voting) categories for Strong Ting.
