| HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (ANS) ? Pierce Brosnan,
the late Richard Harris, Craig T. Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus,
and James Caviezel are among the star-studded candidates
for the Grace Award for the most inspiring acting in
movies and television.
Dr. Ted Baehr, founder and chairman of the Christian
Film & Television Commission(TM), will announce the
winners at the upcoming "Christian Oscars," the 11th
Annual MOVIEGUIDE(R) Faith & Values Awards Gala, March
18 at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Beverly Hills,
California.
Inspired by philanthropist Morgan H. Grace, Jr., the
Grace Award for Inspiring Acting in Movies and Television
is awarded annually, in the form of a beautiful trophy, to
the actor or actress in a feature motion picture and
television show who, through their outstanding
performances, exemplify God?s grace and mercy toward us as
human beings.
"Many other awards honor fine acting and entertaining
performances," Dr. Baehr said, "and some awards honor morally
distinctive portrayals by actors, but the Grace Award honors and
encourages actors who bring a loftier and more spiritual dimension
to their craft, beyond humanitarian and ethical role-playing, by
reflecting the truth of God?s grace and mercy.
"The Grace Awards also aspire to stimulate spiritual
wisdom, knowledge and growth as part of the acting craft.
We believe that by bringing a deeper understanding of and
love for God and His grace and mercy, actors and actresses
can inspire and uplift millions of moviegoers and
television viewers ? and entire families and populations ?
with a message that transcends mere entertainment and
escape."
Baehr added, "The Grace Awards intend to encourage
spiritual wisdom, knowledge and growth. We hope that by
honoring these movie and television actors and actresses,
millions of people will be uplifted and inspired to be
enthusiastic about the further study and worship of the
God of the Bible."
