Hollywood celebrates faith-inspired storytelling at this year’s Movieguide Awards, where both blockbuster franchises and heartfelt Christian dramas are honored. Families and believers looking for films rooted in Biblical values have reason to rejoice as inspirational works like “Sarah’s Oil” and “The Chosen: The Last Supper – Part Two” earn recognition.
“These nominees demonstrate what audiences are hungry for: stories anchored in faith, virtue and timeless values,” said Movieguide CEO Robby Baehr.
Television honors expanded to highlight series such as “House of David,” and episodes reflecting redemption, courage, and spiritual conviction. Notable performances in uplifting roles include Zachary Levi and Oscar Isaac in films bringing Christian witness to the forefront.
Documentaries like “The Case for Miracles” received special mention for exploring the reality of faith and God’s work in our world. Kevin Costner reflected on the sacred story of Christ’s birth, emphasizing the challenges faced by Mary and Joseph:
“What really stayed with me was reminding myself that this was a pregnant, unwed teenage girl, and Joseph was just as young. They were kids on this incredible journey.”
He continued,
“They had to protect their lives and protect their child, whom we proclaim as the Son of God. For them, it was a fight for life at such a young age. That really lodged the story for me.”
With these nominations, the Movieguide Awards encourage Christian families to support media that honors faith, family, and freedom. Celebrate these creative works and the heroes who bring light to screens everywhere.
