MBC Group shines at 2025 Al Dana Drama Awards with hit Saudi series
'Share' Al A'sha' and 'Yawmiyat Rajol Anis' emerge as standout winners at the Bahraini awards ceremony.
MBC Group celebrated a major victory at the 2025 Al Dana Drama Awards as two of its standout Saudi productions — Share' Al A'sha (Al Asha Street) and Yawmiyat Rajol Anis (Diaries of a Bachelor) — received top accolades during this year's ceremony. Both series aired on MBC TV channels and streamed on Shahid during Ramadan, earning widespread praise from audiences and critics alike.
Share' Al A'sha, produced by MBC Studios and written by Saudi novelist Badrya AlBeshr, was awarded Best Social Series for its narrative and cultural resonance. Set in Riyadh during the 1970s and 1980s, the show delves into the social life of a vibrant neighbourhood, capturing the spirit and struggles of a bygone era. The series further triumphed with the Audience Choice award for Best Series. Lead actor Khaled Saqer was named Best Actor for his powerful performance as Abu Ibrahim, while Lama Abdulwahab received the Audience Choice award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the character Aziza.
Elham Ali, another central figure in Share' Al A'sha, secured the Best Actress award, while Abdulrahman Nafea won Audience Choice for Best Actor, marking a proud moment for MBC TALENT alumni. The strong ensemble cast and dedicated creative team were widely recognised as central to the show's success.
Meanwhile, Yawmiyat Rajol Anis, another MBC Studios production, was crowned Best Comedy Series. Starring Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, the show explores the humorous inner conflict of a man torn between the ease of bachelorhood and the challenges of married life. Supported by a dynamic cast including Ida AlKusay, Faisal Al-Dokhi, and others, the series struck a chord with audiences across the region.
The awards were presented as part of the 17th Gulf Radio and Television Festival, held in Bahrain under the auspices of the Ministry of Information in collaboration with the Gulf Radio and Television Organisation (GRTO). The Al Dana Drama Awards annually celebrate excellence in Arabic television and drama, honouring the creative talents who shape the region's entertainment landscape.

Academy elects Haifaa Al-Mansour to Board of Governors
As a result of this election and the previously announced branch-elected 2025-2026 governors, the 55-member Board comprises 55% women and 31% from underrepresented communities. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has elected three new governors-at-large to its Board of Governors: Saudi filmmaker Haifaa Al-Mansour (Directors Branch), Effie T. Brown (Producers Branch) and Annie Chang (Production and Technology Branch, Science and Technology Council Chair). Each will begin a three-year term with the start of the Academy's 2025–2026 fiscal year. Haifaa Al-Mansour rose to global recognition in 2012 with the release of Wadjda, the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first directed by a Saudi woman. Since then, she has become a prominent voice in international cinema and a sought-after television director in Hollywood, contributing to acclaimed series such as Archive 81, City of Fire, Tales of the Walking Dead and Bosch: Legacy. In 2019, her film The Perfect Candidate was selected as Saudi Arabia's official submission for Best International Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards, although it did not receive a nomination. Joining her on the Board are Effie T. Brown, a producer known for championing inclusive storytelling, and Annie Chang, an expert in production technologies. The three new governors-at-large bring wide-ranging expertise and diverse perspectives to the Academy's leadership at a time when it is strengthening its global and industry outreach. Academy President Janet Yang said: 'We're thrilled to welcome Haifaa, Effie and Annie to the Academy's Board of Governors. Their wealth of experiences, perspectives and dedication will be vital to our ongoing global and industry outreach efforts. I also thank my fellow at-large governors DeVon Franklin and Rodrigo García for their incredible leadership over the past six years.' Governors-at-large, like the representatives elected from each of the Academy's 19 branches, may serve up to two three-year terms (consecutively or not), followed by a two-year break before becoming eligible for another two terms—capped at a lifetime maximum of 12 years. The Board is responsible for shaping the Academy's strategic direction, ensuring financial stability, and upholding its mission. With this latest election and the newly confirmed branch-elected governors for 2025–2026, the Academy's 55-member Board now consists of 55% women and 31% individuals from underrepresented communities, reflecting ongoing efforts toward greater inclusivity and representation in the film industry.
