Dolly Parton, Tom Hanks, ‘I Still Believe’ Among Honorees at Movieguide’s Annual Awards Event

On Easter Sunday, April 4, the REELZ Channel will turn attention to the best inspirational entertainment of the year with Movieguide®’s Movies That Inspire. Films and television featuring Tom Hanks, Dolly Parton, Jim Caviezel, and Tom Selleck will be featured.

“Although 2020 put many families through challenging circumstances, we are so thankful that the Good News prevailed,” said Robert Baehr, Movieguide® co-CEO and president. “We can celebrate that Good News by honoring content that promotes family values and biblical worldviews. While 2020 forced creatives to embrace new mediums and distribution channels, we are thrilled that so many movies and television programs chose to focus on the good, true, pure, and lovely.”

The event will honor the Best 2020 Movies for Mature Audiences, the Epiphany Prizes for the Most Inspiring Movie and Television Program, The Faith & Freedom Awards for Movies and Television, and the Grace Awards for Most Inspiring Performance in Movies and Television.

The winners will be revealed in a virtual gala broadcast of Movieguide®’s Movies That Inspire through the REELZ channel on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, at 4 p.m. ET. The virtual event will allow more people to participate, as well as incorporate interviews and other special material.
