HOLLYWOOD – At its 20th annual awards gala Feb. 10, Movieguide took on the giants of the industry and honored filmmakers and stars who strive to create inspirational and morally uplifting movies and television shows.
Many refer to the event as the “Christian Oscars,” and along with the Report to the Entertainment Industry, it has led to a dramatic increase in family movies and movies with positive moral content.
Dr. Ted Baehr, a famous media critic, founder and publisher of Movieguide and a champion of Hollywood movies with Christian worldviews, said movies and TV shows with faith and values are more successful than other films.
“The evidence is abundantly clear,” he said. “Moviegoers greatly prefer family friendly movies.”
Actor Dean Cain, best known for his role as Superman and Clark Kent in the series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” hosted the red-carpet awards gala.
“I support Dr. Baehr and the things he’s trying to do with film,” Cain told WND. “I think it’s fantastic, and I’m honored that he wants me to be part of this. … As an actor, you want to play all kinds of diverse roles and be in all sorts of films. As a parent – I have an 11-year-old son – it’s important the kind of projects I am doing because I want him to see my work. I want to make films that will teach him a lesson and show him a way to behave, a way to react to a situation or a way to overcome an obstacle. A lot of those films tend to be those that are honored by Movieguide.”
Likewise, Kevin Sorbo told WND he believes there is a shortage of family friendly films in America.
“We need more of them!” he said. “Reality TV has got to go away. There are enough movies out there that present a negative side of life – for whatever reason, they seem to glamorize that.” keep reading
