Movies, TV, radio honored with Gabriel Awards
21-10-2009
DAYTON, Ohio (CNS) -- Three films, including the animated feature "The Tale of Despereaux" and the biographical drama "The Express," were honored with Gabriel Awards, given each year by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals.
Also honored was the documentary "Pray the Devil Back to Hell," which tells the story of how women rose up to achieve peace in war-torn Liberia and help elect the African nation's first woman president.
Actress Ann Blyth, 81, who starred in such film classics as "The Student Prince," "Kismet," "The Helen Morgan Story" and "The Buster Keaton Story," was chosen to receive the Gabriels' Personal Achievement Award.
KNOM in Nome, Alaska, won the Gabriels' radio station of the year contest for the 17th year in the 44-year history of the awards. This year the radio contest was split into a category for religious stations, which KNOM won, and one for secular stations, won by KCRW in Santa Monica, Calif., with a certificate of merit going to WBUR in Boston.
The television station of the year prize was likewise split in two categories; the religious station prize went to Salt and Light Television based in Toronto. Secular station honors went to WCVB in Boston.
The Gabriels honor professionals who produce films, TV and radio programs, features and announcements that serve viewers and listeners through the positive treatment of human concerns.
