The Committee noted that the movie is not eligible to fully represent Nigeria and compete in the International Feature Film category of the Oscar Awards.

Expressing his disappointment in a post on social media, Kunle Afolayan said, “I am so pleased and delighted that the whole world has decided to tag ANIKULAPO movie a masterpiece even though the Oscar selection committee thinks it’s not worth submitting for the Award. I will keep doing my own thing.”
