Filmed last month at the Avalon Hollywood, the event honors films and TV shows that celebrate faith, family, and inspiration. The television broadcast of the Movieguide Faith & Values Awards Gala will air March 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Christian Broadcasting Network’s “Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles” was among the nominees at this year’s event. The film explores powerful, real-life miracle stories. CBN Producer-Reporter Billy Hallowell accepted the award:
“I want to thank – obviously, God. I want to thank CBN, CBN Films, Christian Broadcasting Network for doing this. I want to thank Gordon Robertson, and my amazing wife Andrea and my kids Lilly and Eva, who put up with me traveling around the country working on these projects. I want to thank Jarrod Anderson, the director of this. It came from his mind. It was brilliant. It points people to the Lord, which is the most important thing… Again, miracles are real, God is still speaking today. Thank you.”
Also nominated for Movieguide’s new “Aletheia: Best Documentary Prize” category were Lee Strobel’s “The Case For Miracles,” “Dude Perfect: The Hero Tour,” “Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas,” and “Mears: How One Woman Changed Christianity.”
Other Categories included “Best Movie For Families,” “Best Movie For Children,” and the “Grace Award for Most Inspiring Performance for Movies,” among others.
Some of the other nominees in various categories include “The Chosen: Last Supper,” “House of David,” Light of the World,” “Sarah’s Oil,” and “Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning.”
Movieguide was founded by Hollywood media critic and mogul Dr. Ted Baehr, who has built the organization into a behemoth in the faith and family-friendly space.
“Movieguide is the No. 1 family review service for movies and television shows,” a press release for the awards show reads. “With over 89 million monthly users, Movieguide is used by 1 in every 3 parents to determine which movies their family or children will watch.”
The description continues, “Additionally, Movieguide consults with major studios on what types of films will appeal to family audiences. Family films produce the biggest box office draws and the family film audience is the largest single demographic of movie-goers and television viewers.”
Tune in to see CBN’s “Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles” win the documentary prize. And stay tuned for the release of the second installment of the “Investigating the Supernatural” franchise, “Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons,” releasing on the CBN Family App on March 16.
