The actor earned nominations in the Best Supporting Actor and Discovery of the Year categories for his performance in the movie King Of T3MA.
The recognition marks another milestone for Dain, who recently won the Actor of the Year (English) award at the 2025 YEN Entertainment Awards, a victory that many industry observers viewed as a breakthrough moment in his career.
In the Best Supporting Actor category, Dain will compete against seasoned actors including Adjetey Anang, Fred Amugi, Majid Michel and Jeffrey Nortey.
He is also in contention for Discovery of the Year alongside a number of emerging talents, including Janet Ayesu, Janet Brefo Yankson, Lydia Baeta, Naya Pratt, Kiki Romi, Endurance Dedzo and William Lamptey.
Reacting to the nominations, Dain expressed appreciation to the organisers, describing the recognition as a significant moment in his acting journey. He said the nominations reflect his growth in the industry and serve as motivation to continue improving his craft.
The actor also congratulated his colleagues and the production team behind King Of T3MA, noting that the movie secured a total of 10 nominations across various categories.
The 15th edition of the Ghana Movie Awards is scheduled to take place on June 7 at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra.
With two nominations and recent award success already under his belt, Dain heads into the ceremony as one of the rising stars to watch in Ghana’s film industry.
