This is a clip from the 8th Annual Movieguide Awards Gala, better known as the \u201cChristian Oscars\u201d. The award being presented is the\u00a0\u201cGrace Prize\u201d which is handed out\u00a0for the \u201cmost inspirational performance\u201d on television or film.<\/p>\n

When they start announcing the nominees they all seem pretty obvious, actresses from 7th Heaven<\/em>, Touched By An Angel<\/em>, but then all of a sudden: Chuck Norris \u2013 Walker, Texas Ranger.<\/em><\/p>\n

Turns out Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em> was really a Christian show. At least the Christmas episode was. And according to Chuck\u2019s wife the show was \u201cinspired by the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

They show a clip from that episode around the 4:20 mark, which alone makes this video worth watching. But Chuck Norris\u2019 acceptance speech, along with his wife\u2019s\u00a0impassioned\u00a0plea that \u201cmillions of lives will be affected\u201d by Chuck\u2019s award, is definitely worth watching too.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
