Nollywood actress Uche Montana has emerged winner of the Trailblazer Award at the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), held on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
She earned the recognition for her role in the film Monica, where she starred alongside Blessing Onwukwe, who played her mother in the production.
The announcement was made while presenters were on stage, prompting Montana to rise from her seat in surprise. Overcome with emotion, she made her way to the stage, visibly excited and momentarily speechless before letting out a scream of joy as she received her award plaque.
On stage, she repeatedly expressed gratitude, exclaiming, “Oh my God,” before adding, “Thank you, Jesus,” after being given the opportunity to give her acceptance speech.
In her remarks, Montana dedicated the award to young girls chasing their dreams, encouraging them not to give up but to remain persistent. She also appreciated the organisers for recognising her efforts.
A highlight of the moment was the appearance of Blessing Onwukwe, also known as Mama Monica, who joined Montana on stage. The pair stood together during the presentation, a gesture that quickly drew attention online.
Fans and viewers have since celebrated Montana’s win, praising her talent, consistency, and growth in the industry. Many described the decision as well-deserved.
Others also highlighted the touching moment between the two actresses, noting that Onwukwe’s on-stage support added an emotional touch to the win, marking a memorable AMVCA highlight.
