*Just a thought...

There are some Excellent Nominees Above, (including the amazing, fantastic little actress Alyvia Alyn Lind of Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors) but I was VERY Surprised NOT to See anything from Hallmark or UP included in the Movieguide Awards, and there are certainly plenty of movies from either network that could have been included.

If Movieguide is looking for the "best, most inspiring movies and TV shows"... then I think they should have nominated Hallmark's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", from Producer Martha Williamson of "Touched by an Angel". The "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth be Told" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Impossible Dream" movies were filled with such incredible, heartfelt inspiration and unwavering patriotism. It's truly shocking this series was overlooked in this category again this year.

Also, Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart" is always filled with beautiful, inspiring moments, especially the last episode, "When Calls the Heart: New Year's Wish". The WCTH series was nominated last year, but forgotten this year.

And... then on UP, many of their original movies are faith inspired: including "I Am Potential" (a touching story of triumph over tragedy), "Like a Country Song" (starring Joel Smallbone of the Christian Brother Duo "For King and Country"), "Christian Mingle" (starring actress Lacey Chabert), and Many More...

Please share -- What did you think of the Nominees this Year?

Stitched with Love... "Coat of Many Colors" will Re-air this Christmas!!!

With an overall viewership of over 15 million people (according to deadline.com), Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" premiered on NBC, December 10th with rave reviews and viewers wanting encore airings and more stories of the Parton family.

For those of you wishing for an encore airing... you will get an extra gift on Christmas Night, December 25th, 2015 at 9pm/8c. on NBC.

My family was certainly captivated by this movie! Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" is a beautiful, amazing story of love and devotion to God and family. We laughed, we cried, and we absolutely fell in love with all the children in the cast, especially young Dolly portrayed by Alyvia Alyn Lind! Plus, Ricky Schroder, Jennifer Nettles, and Gerald McRaney were also phenomenal.

Please note: This is not a Christmas movie, but the story of faith is powerful and centers around the most awesome gift of unconditional love. Please, also know... some of the themes in this story may be too intense for younger viewers, including: death of family member and bullying.

Another movie is being planned in the future, based on the Dolly Parton song "Jolene".

It's a Gift of Love this Christmas Season! "Coat of Many Colors" Premieres Tonight on NBC!

The Faith-Based Family Movie "Coat of Many Colors" stars Ricky Schroder, Jennifer Nettles, Gerald McRaney, and young Alyvia Alyn Lind, who portrays Country Singer Dolly Parton as a young girl.

image via: NBC

via NBC: "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" is based on the inspiring true story of living legend Dolly Parton's remarkable upbringing. This once-in-a-lifetime movie special takes place inside the tight-knit Parton family as they struggle to overcome devastating tragedy and discover the healing power of love, faith and a raggedy patchwork coat that helped make Parton who she is today.

The film is set in the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains in 1955. It is neither a biopic nor a musical about Dolly's whole life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family's life around the time she was nine years old.

December 10, 2015 - at 9pm/8c.
