Los Angeles, CA – January 30, 2024 – Great American Family stars Danica McKellar and Trevor Donovan are set to host the 31st Annual MovieGuide® Awards Gala, Friday, February 9 at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood, CA. MovieGuide® honors the best in family-friendly entertainment across linear, streaming, and theatrical films and will be broadcast exclusively on Great American Family, Thursday, March 7 (8 p.m. ET).

The MovieGuide® Awards Gala is the premiere awards event in Hollywood that exclusively honors movies, television, and streaming content that promotes inspiring and positive interactions, morals and values, and Biblical teachings.

Dr. Ted Baehr, Founder and Publisher of MovieGuide® said, “For more than 40 years, MovieGuide’s extensive research has proven that movies with more inspirational content that include biblical values such as redemption, forgiveness, self-sacrifice, and good conquering evil, outperforms content at the box office that contains excessive violence, language and sexual content.”

Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media said, “MovieGuide® showcases and rewards content that uplifts, inspires, and encourages us all to be the best that we can be. We are grateful to Ted and Robby and the entire MovieGuide® organization for remarkably positive contributions to our culture, and we celebrate our mutual commitment to content the entire family can watch together.”

Great American Family is producing entertainment for a vastly underserved audience, and I am proud of the stories we create,” Donovan said.

Great American Family continues to rise in popularity since its debut. According to Nielsen Media Research, the linear channel retained its position as TV’s fastest-growing network in 2023 with the largest gains in Total Day Households (+161%) and Total Viewers (+166%); and 2022-2023 Season Total Day Households (+152%) and Total Viewers (+150%).

My Quick Take:

So... mark your calendars, everyone, for this special awards show that honors faith-filled and family-friendly programming. If you're curious about the nominees, I have the full list - *here*.

Personally, I was pleased to see the nominees for two of Great American Family's wonderful movies, but I was also surprised not to see MovieGuide nominees for these Great American Family movies: 'Twas the Text Before Christmas, A Christmas for the Ages, and My Christmas Hero. Plus, even Hallmark had movies in 2023 that I feel should've made the nominee list: The Blessing Bracelet, Heaven Down Here, and Miracle in Bethlehem, PA.

Nevertheless, I will be cheering on my favorite nominee, A Christmas Blessing, which remains one of my best-loved new films from the 2023 holiday season.

I hope you'll join me in watching the 31st Annual Movieguide® Awards on Great American Family on March 7th!

Blessings,
