The Faith & Values Movie Awards from MOVIEGUIDE

The Winners Are In! The Oscars may be this weekend, and frankly, I must admit... most Hollywood "type" Movies that are recognized at those award events, are not my cup of tea. However, it's great to know that we have other options and other film-makers willing to create good and wholesome movies for our family viewing.

The 19th Annual MOVIEGUIDE® Faith & Values Awards (they are also known as the Christian Oscars) took place last weekend - February 18, 2011.
