Great American Family Stars to Take the Stage in Movieguide Awards Broadcast
By Movieguide® Staff
Great American Family stars including Trevor Donovan, Danica McKellar, Jesse Hutch, Jen Lilley, Lori Loughlin, and more will take the stage during the Movieguide® Awards Broadcast on GAF on March 7, at 8 p.m. ET.
The stars praised the awards ceremony.
“I am so grateful for the work Movieguide® does in calling our industry to greatness and upholding family values. I love well researched facts, statistics and proof,” Lilley said.
“Movieguide® awards 2024. It’s an honor to be invited and it’s a humbling feeling to be considered and nominated as an actor for my performance in A Christmas Blessing. And what a memorable and proud experience to have my wife by my side. She is such a pillar of love and support and I adore her so much. And as you can see, she is lovely and beautiful beyond words. Thank you Movieguide® for having us out. Thank you Great American Family for giving me the opportunity to bring the character OTTO to life. We had so many friends and familiar faces surrounding us. Mike Rowe is an absolute blast and we improvised for certain. Not sure what Jen Lilly and I are doing but we’re doing it and it looked red carpet worthy. Was like being at summer camp getting a pic with the whole GAF gang,” Hutch said.
Movieguide® is pleased to be on the network, as well.
“Last year we saw a lot of strong and inspiring films and TV on the big screen and in the comfort of your living room, and we are excited to celebrate various bodies of work and talent,” says Robby Baehr, Movieguide® CEO. “To then be able to have the Awards Show broadcast on Great American Family is icing on the cake. We all share aligned visions to inspire and bring home to viewers, so this partnership is a perfect synergy.” The event will honor the Best 2023 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 broadcast will also include appearances by Darci Lynne, Colin Ford and Julia Reilly, Corbin Bersen, Matthew Morrison, Mike Rowe, Moriah and Joel Smallbone, Eric Close and Candace Cameron Bure with riveting performances by Blessing Offor and the incredible Dennis Quaid. “The Movieguide Awards focuses on honoring quality family-friendly entertainment that deliver strong and inspiring faith-filled stories of faith, hope, joy, and redemptive love,” added Movieguide founder and publisher Dr. Ted Baehr. “We are excited to celebrate another year of honoring entertainment with faith and values.”
