Question: What do Mel Gibson and Jamie Foxx have in common? Answer: They both won top honors at the 13th Annual MOVIEGUIDE® Faith & Values Awards Gala, also known as the Christian Oscars.

According to the ASSIST News Service (ANS), the award amounts to a Christian Oscar. ANS reported that "The Passion" took home the $50,000 John Templeton Foundation Epiphany Prize for Most Inspiring Movie while Jamie Foxx's The "Happy Trails" episode of PAX-TV's series DOC won the $50,000 John Templeton Foundation Epiphany Prize for Most Inspiring TV Program.

The Epiphany Prize, ANS explained, is given to the movie and television program that "greatly increases man's love and understanding of God."

Jim Caviezel won the Grace Award for Most Inspiring Movie Performance of 2004 for his portrayal of Jesus Christ in "The Passion."

At least sombody got it right. People do get tired of the same old crap out of Hollywood; they want programming and movies they can watch as a family. I'm not saying all movies and programs have to be that way. It is nice, though, when a significant percentage of the programs are ones you can share with your children.
