Most Promising Actor – Diaspora
The majority of our 2013 submission received for the “Most Promising Actor – Diaspora” category did not meet one of our criteria, solely because the potential nominee had to be a new actor.
Thus, we regret to inform you that the category was removed from the 2013 Category selection. We will reintroduce it in next year’s awards.
