By Tess Farrand, Staff Writer
Each year, Movieguide® celebrates movies and television shows that showcase biblical values at the annual Movieguide® Awards. While this certainly includes faith-based movies, mainstream movies with positive, uplifting messages are also celebrated.
This year marks the 27th year since the first Faith and Values Awards held in Hollywood, and it’s sure to be one of the best ones yet! Why you ask? Well, there will be a slew of familiar faces onstage presenting awards, and we’ll finally find out which movie wins the award for the Most Spiritually Inspiring Movie and TV Program of the year!
