(audience cheering)
- Good evening!
- And welcome to the 25th Annual Family Film Awards.
- Tonight we're celebrating
all the family entertainment accomplishments
that span across so many different genres.
- From dramas to comedies and everything in between.
Watching our favorite films and TV shows
brings our families together.
- And also stops us from fighting over the remote.
- That's not the only reason to watch it
but it is up there in the top three.
- What are the other two?
- Oh well,
we have incredible storytelling and great performances.
- You know you are absolutely right
and we have a packed show tonight.
So I think it's time to start off with our first award.
- Outstanding Young Actor in a TV or film.
(audience clapping)
- Presented by an on-screen mom
who knows a thing or two about working with young actors.
- Here's "Wizards of Waverley Places", Maria Canals-Barrera.
(upbeat music)
- Well, working on sets for years playing a mom.
I've had the opportunity to see young actors
work just as hard as anybody else
on top of doing their schoolwork in between scenes.
That dedication is why tonight, we are recognizing
these entertainers for their work
as an Outstanding Young Actor in TV or film.
And the nominees are.
(dramatic music)
- I'm not cool.
(nervous laughter)
I've really missed that.
- Missed what?
- Your laugh.
- He's trying to merge our two worlds
ours and yours
and he needs all the keys to do it.
I've been trying to get the alpha key so I can stop him!
- Look you're just a kid, okay.
You don't understand what's going on here.
- I know my mom lost her job and got kicked outta the church
because you won't marry my brother.
- I didn't know that.
- So did I win this argument?
Feels like I did.
- In the presence of a stronger electromagnetic field,
the needle will deflect towards that power.
So either there's some super big magnet around here or-
- There's a gate.
- I thought it would be cool to have a superhero
who actually fights for us but,
I don't know maybe she's just making things worse.
(quiet laughter)
- I doubt that boy from the minaret would agree.
- So how does she convince everyone
that she's good?
(audience cheering)
- And the winner is
Raegan Revord.
(audience clapping)
(audience cheering)
- Oh my God, this is so exciting.
Hi!
Thank you so much for this award.
I love playing Missy Cooper in Young Sheldon
and I have grown up on the show
and I am so honored to be able to work
with the people that I do.
They are the best.
To be at the Family Film Awards and accepting an award
about a character who experiences the real
ups and downs of a family is amazing.
And thank you for the continued support
and for making this moment possible.
(audience clapping)
- Our next award is for Best Iconic Family Film.
- We are honoring an all time classic.
But you know, Dean, rather than us talking about it
why don't we bring up a few cast members
who can probably talk a little more about it.
- That seems like a pretty good idea.
Here's Zach Ward and Scott Schwartz.
(audience clapping)
(audience cheering)
- Hey Everybody.
As an actor, you find yourself on set
and you always want to think
that you are making a good movie.
- But I think I can speak for all of us and say
we never really knew how iconic this film is gonna be.
- Or how much of a holiday tradition it would become.
I mean, I was just a bully in the back alley
that nobody wanted to associate with so.
- Yeah, and I could never turn down a dare
no matter how dangerous it was
even if it meant sticking my tongue to a frozen pole
in the middle of the winter.
- But I guess we could say it, it all panned out.
- Yes, matter of fact,
let's take a walk down memory lane
and get a glimpse of a Christmas story.
- [Old Man] It's a Major Award.
- [Swede] It looks like a lamp.
- It is a lamp, you nincompoop, but it's a Major Award.
I won it!
(jingling Christmas music)
- [Narrator] There are lots
of great family Christmas movies.
- Merry Christmas!
- Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.
- [Narrator] But there's one that stands out,
as the most about family.
It's also full of funny and iconic scenes.
- You'll shoot your eye out kid.
Merry Christmas.
Ho Ho Ho.
- No!
(painful screaming)
- Fragile.
It must be Italian.
- [Narrator] "A Christmas Story"
was released in movie theaters in 1983.
It did fine at the box office and got good reviews
but it didn't become an all time classic
until cable television aired the movie
in a 24 hour marathon format.
Today, it's loved by everyone.
- That is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life.
(hearty laughter)
- [Narrator] And always makes the top five
in every countdown or list that comes out.
The story is told through the eyes of a nine year old boy,
who is obsessed with what he wants for Christmas.
- What would you like for Christmas?
- I want an official red rider carbine action
200 shot range model air rifle.
Ooh.
- [Narrator] There are ups and downs
and in the end, not everything works out.
This is a real family.
- What did you say?
- [Narrator] With real consequences.
(quiet mumbling)
- All right.
Where did you hear that word?
- [Narrator] By showing good times,
(playful laughter)
and bad.
- What are you gonna cry now?
- [Narrator] "A Christmas Story"
is the ultimate celebration of family.
By keeping things real.
The drama and the joy of the season.
It is perhaps the most iconic holiday family movie
of all time.
(audience clapping)
- Wow.
Well thank you so much.
This is a huge honor, a prestigious honor
to get this Family Film Award.
We are very touched
and we want to thank everybody who made this possible.
The incredible talents of-
- Jeremy Gavin, Melinda Dillon,
the wonderful Peter Billingsley-
- Jean Shepherd, Bob Clark.
- Bob Clark who we miss.
- The rest and the cast and the crew.
- And this guy, he was a great bully.
- Thank you.
And we "triple dog dare ya".
"A Christmas Story Christmas".
All the boys are back in town.
It's a new movie, it's 30 years later
and you guys are gonna love it.
God bless.
- Thank you. - We love you.
Hi mom, love you.
- Bye mom.
- [Announcer] Up next,
Logan Shroyer presents the award
for Outstanding Drama Series.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back to the Family Film Awards.
- Our next award is for Outstanding Drama Series
presented by an actor
who might know a little bit about drama.
- Yeah, I'd say he does.
From "The Waltons", here's Logan Shroyer.
(techno music)
- Dramatic shows can showcase
some of the hardest days people go through.
The cast and crew worked tirelessly
to deliver a final product
that keeps you on the edge of your seat
or crying along with the characters.
For this,
let's recognize this year's Outstanding Drama Series.
And the nominees are.
(dramatic music)
- All of you will go where no one has gone before
and you will make the path by traveling it.
And from what I see,
from what I see
I am honored to be in your company.
(crew members clapping)
- Are you alright?
(dramatic music)
- It's not gonna work.
It's just gonna destroy everything.
Please help me close it.
- I can make it.
- I joined up when the Empire stood for something.
By the time I realized what they really were
it was,
too late.
I made some mistakes.
- We all did.
- I can't imagine Obi Wan Kenobi doing anything wrong.
- It's just Ben these days.
- Alright look man,
it ain't like I'm best friends with the dude.
And since when is it a crime
to change your mind about somebody.
When you and I first met,
we didn't even like each other, you remember that?
- Yeah.
- It's somehow I remember it really well.
- Whoa guys, come on.
We're all friends here, right?
Maybe you should both just walk away, relax
before you say something you can't take back, yeah?
(dramatic music)
- Any idea what she's writing?
(dramatic twinkling music)
Did she sleep?
- I mean, would you?
(audience clapping)
- And the winner is,
"All American".
(audience cheering)
Accepting on "All Americans'" behalf is Hunter Clowdus.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
- Wow, wow.
I mean, this is the coolest thing ever.
On behalf of myself, my castmates,
our brilliant creatives and the hardest working crew I know.
We thank you.
Also a special thank you to the Family Film Awards
for putting on this great event tonight
as well as the CW for providing us
with the platform and network
to continue to tell these stories
that are undoubtedly making a difference.
Thank you guys so much.
(audience clapping)
(slow music)
- What do you say we bring up
one of our other hosts for the evening.
- Let's do it.
Here's Elizabeth Stanton.
(audience cheering)
- It must be a blast
to work on a comedy show, especially on a sitcom.
Up next, we have two presenters who I'm sure
had tons of laughs while filming their show, "Family Time".
Presenting for Outstanding Comedy Series,
Angell Conwell and Omar Gooding.
(audience clapping)
(techno music)
- Being in a comedic show is mostly fun and games,
at least that's what everyone thinks.
But it's not all funny business.
- Yeah, comedies can be just as hard as dramas
if not harder.
Now, if you're doing your job right,
half the time you have to do your joke all over again
because you made the crew laugh and it ruined the take.
But those are good problems to have.
- And I'm sure the shows in this category can relate.
For Outstanding Comedy Series, the nominees are.
(dramatic music)
- How is this even okay?
They just rent these scooters to anybody all over town
and then let them dump them in my yard.
(beeping alarm)
Oh, okay so now I'm the bad guy.
(audience laughs)
Tina, little help here.
- Looks like you got it.
- So I'm clearly nailing it at all these things.
When am I ever going to use this as a lawyer?
- Jen, when you have powers like this,
it's like putting a target on your back
and the backs of all the people you care about.
- Oh, cool.
Yet another way, my life is ruined.
Thanks Bruce.
- Well, I'm sorry you had a bad day.
How about a little trip to Radio Shack?
- Radio Shack's not gonna make this better.
It's also not gonna make it worse, so okay.
- You got it.
- May we sit with you?
- No.
- Why not?
- Because our table's full.
- There are several available seats.
- Not for you.
- I am prepared to take them by force.
- Boris, let's look someplace else now.
- Please Goodwin, don't do this.
- Mr. Wheeler, do not make this harder than it is.
- You can't go.
We're a team like Lennon and McCartney, Hall and Oats,
Wheeler and how do you say your last name?
- Oliniwona.
- Yeah, that!
(audience clapping)
- And the winner is,
you look very nice by the way. - Thank you!
- I like how you're matching the statue and all that.
Y'all are doing your thing.
(quiet laughs)
- You look very smart.
- Well thank you, thank you, I try.
- [Together] "The Neighborhood".
- Accepting on "The Neighborhood's" behalf,
is their very own Hank Greenspan.
- Hey hey!
(audience clapping)
- It wasn't just me who've made this show.
(self conscious laugh)
From the bottom of,
all of the productions and the cast of "The Neighborhood",
thank you so much.
It's truly an honor to be here.
(audience clapping)
- Okay now,
it's time to honor a two-time Emmy nominated series
with over 230 episodes spanning over six seasons.
- Wow, this is truly an American classic TV show
that not only took the world by storm,
but it's still running to this day.
- You know it!
Can you guess what it is?
- Give you a hint.
Here's a few of our favorite moments
from this incredible series.
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] 60 years ago,
the Cleaver family came into our living rooms
in a situation comedy that also carried a moral message.
"Leave it to Beaver".
- [Announcer] Starring, Jerry Mathers as The Beaver.
- [Narrator] In its first season,
the show saw ratings success
and was nominated for two Emmy awards.
- What's your name?
- Theodore but my friends call me Beaver.
- [Narrator] But critics initially put the show down
as sanitized and unrealistic
for its portrayal of the perfect nuclear family.
This was simply not true for all of its six seasons,
"Leave it to Beaver", had story after story
where Beaver and his brother Wally, fell to temptation.
- What do you know about this haircut?
- Well, I think it'll grow back in a week.
- Every week, there were consequences
and the boys were guided back to virtue
by their loving parents.
- This is all for your own good.
- Sure dad, every time you call us out.
It's for our own good.
- [Narrator] "Leave it to Beaver" was a comedy,
but it was also a morality play.
Beaver and Wally had delinquent friends
who were always trying to lead them off the path
of what was right.
And the lead instigator was Eddie Haskell.
- Gee Mrs. Cleaver, you even look pretty in an apron.
(audience laughs)
- [Narrator] One famous storyline found Beaver
climbing into a giant soup bowl on a roadside billboard.
- Hey there's no soup in there is there?
- No, just the hole where the steam comes out.
- [Narrator] Turns out,
"Leave it to Beaver" isn't sanitized at all.
It clearly defines right from wrong
and shows the consequences of bad choices.
Most importantly, "Leave it to Beaver"
puts the emphasis on family
more than any show before, or perhaps since
as a sanctuary from the corruption of the world.
(audience clapping)
- "Leave it to Beaver" is adored by millions,
including ourselves.
And we couldn't be happier to welcome, "The Beaver" himself
to accept the Best Iconic TV Series Award.
- As they say on TV,
and Jerry Mathers as "The Beaver".
(audience cheering)
It's heavy.(laughs)
(audience cheers)
- Ah, thank you.
That's, that's very nice of you.
You know, I probably had more fun doing
"Leave it to Beaver" than any of you had, watching it.
It was a great family show and a great family.
My family at home was wonderful, but Barbara Billingsley
Hugh Beaumont, and Tony Dow were my very best friends.
And I just want to thank everybody that
either voted for me or somehow got me this award.
Thank you very much.
(upbeat music)

And as a woman who has been in this business
since age three, I don't know anything else,
but I attribute much of my success to being
surrounded by an incredible family.
I'm so thrilled to have this.
You know, one of the things that I was told
as a young girl is that everything should be
family-oriented, from the people you work with,
it's a family, from the people that you give to,
it's a family.
I just wanna thank all of you,
and I wanna thank my beautiful family.
I have eight gorgeous children,

(dramatic orchestral music)
- [Announcer] Up next, Garrett Clayton performs
in tribute to the legends we lost this past year.
(dramatic orchestral music) (audience applauding)
- Let's go on to our next award,
Outstanding Supporting Actress in Film.
- Presented by "Secret Lives of Housewives" Jessica Morris.
- Being a supporting actress can be a huge
responsibility, helping drive the storytelling and
bring the movie to places it couldn't go
with the main character, leading to a richer
and more in depth world.
This is why tonight we are recognizing
all this amazing work and responsibility
with this year's outstanding supporting
actress in a film. The nominees are...
- But I do hope you understand that
even now what's about to happen.
This is me being reasonable.
- First off, the name is Mighty Thor!
And secondly, if you can't say Mighty Thor,
I'll accept Dr. Jane Foster.
- Where's my daughter?
- She wasn't yours to begin with.
- Tell me.
- Biosyn. They're taking her to Biosyn.
- He hates me. It's not his fault.
He is, he's just dealing. It's fine
We'll be fine. It's good. Good, good, good.
- And the winner is Elizabeth Olson.
Elizabeth Olson is unable to attend tonight,
and we are accepting on her behalf.
- Family movies and TV shows result in so many
life lasting memories, for ourselves,
for our children, and members of our family.
- So right now we'd like to take a moment
to celebrate the lives and careers
of those we lost this year.
Their work, however, and the people that they impacted
are still here to this very day.
- Joining us in this celebration of life is Garrett Clayton.

Let's hear it for the prolific entertainer and Oscar nominee
presenting for Outstanding Supporting Actor in Film.
- Eric Roberts.
(bright upbeat music) (audience applauding)
- Being a supporting actor can sometimes mean
being involved in the most pivotal scenes of a movie.
You get to be a wild card.
You get to come into this lovely world
the main character has and turn it on its head.
Or you can come in and uplift the main character
and set them on a course that can change
the entire narrative.
For this reason, let's recognize this year's
outstanding supporting actor in a film.
The nominees are...
- We are the same, you and I.
We are two odd, lonely children reaching for eternity.
- Mow did this feel creepy?
I said, don't make it creepy, guys.
I'm so sorry about the setting.
I, I just flew in.
I was in a real panic to meet you.
Didn't have time to dress the place up.
- He pulled my application in the naval academy.
Set me back four years.
- Why would he do that?
- What he's told you isn't true,
but we do share the same blood.
You are a Dumbledore.
(graphics whooshing) (audience applauding)
- And the winner is...
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Film,
Tom Hanks for "Elvis."
(audience applauding)
Tom is unable to to attend this evening,
and we are accepting this award on his behalf.
Congratulations, Tom.
(audience applauding)
- Next, we have Outstanding Family Game Show.
- Ah-ha!
From the popular TV series "Bob Hearts Abishola,"
here's Barry Shabaka and Shola Adewusi.
(upbeat pop music)
We all grew up watching game shows with our families,
glued to the screen trying to guess the word or the phrase.
- Competing with our parents and siblings,
trying to reign supreme in the house as game show masters.
- With all that being said,
how could we not show this year's
outstanding family game show?
- The nominees are...
(graphics whooshing) (soft dramatic music)
- These things that would get a dog in trouble.
30 seconds on the clock.
Ready?
Go.
- Woof, woof, woof, woof! - Barking.
- You do this to your tail.
- Name something a bald guy might not wanna find
on top of his head.
- Fly.
(audience laughs)
- Boat.
- Canoe.
- Yeah!
(audience applauding)
- How long you been trying to get
on the show here, honestly?
- Honestly, at least 30 years.
- I mean, you've been trying to get on,
like auditioning and things, and see?
You just keep at it and there.
And the first thing she said after the confetti came down,
she said, "Where's the broom? I wanna clean up."
Here you go. - It's true!
- Start sweeping, Ilene. - Okay.
- Go ahead. Go for it.
Congratulations again.
She's got work to do.
We'll see you next time. - Bye!
- [Host] It's all gonna depend on the wager.
Did you wager more than 3,600?
$3,601.
You finish with 15,599.
Danielle Mauer, $15,600.
You are a new Jeopardy champion.
(graphics whooshing) (audience applauding)
- Well.
Suspense.
And the winner is,
Outstanding Family Game Show,
- [Both] "Wheel of Fortune."
(audience applauding)
- Pat and Vanna couldn't be here tonight,
but they sent us a special message.
- We're sorry we couldn't make it there tonight,
but thank you so much to the Family Film Awards
for honoring "Wheel of Fortune" with
the Outstanding Family Game Show award.
- And thank you to the entire team that works here
tirelessly behind the scenes to make this show happen.
- But none of us would be here celebrating our 40th season
if it weren't for the viewers at home
who tune in every night, so thank you.
(audience applauding) (dramatic orchestral music)
- [Announcer] Next, master of illusion Farrell Dillon
will blow your mind with a live magical performance.
(audience applauding) (dramatic orchestral music)
- Now it's time for a special treat from one
of our nominated Outstanding Family Entertainment series.
It's time for some mind-bending, out of the box magic
from "Masters of Illusion's" very own Farrell Dillon.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- So when I was just a kid,
I did close up magic for my family and friends,
and I wanted to throw this back to when I was just a kid
doing magic for my family.
And look, I need some help from somebody
out of the audience.
Somebody, you right there, please join me on stage.
Everybody, please give this guy a round of applause.
Hello, my name is Farrell. What's your name?
- Bobby. - Bobby, nice to meet ya.
Look, right here I've got this big, giant crate.
And Bobby, I'm so happy you're up here tonight,
'cause guess what?
- What? - You're getting inside.
I'm just kidding, no.
They don't let me do that anymore.
But Bobby, I do need you to help me examine this crate.
Bang on the side, make sure it is in fact solid.
(hand banging)
Come on over to the back. Do the same thing.
Bang on the back. (hand banging)
Good. Come on over to this side.
Bang on this side. (hand banging)
Ooh, yeah, make it pay.
Here, bang on the front. (hand banging)
Good, and the top. (hand banging)
Close enough. That's fine.
Here, Bobby, come stand back right over here.
Bobby, we've got one more thing,
this big, giant cloth.
This has to go around the outside of the crate.
Now Bobby, you're gonna get a vantage point of this trick
that nobody else is going to get.
You're gonna be able to see the whole thing
from the back, from the sides.
Everybody else only gets to see it from the front.
So I want you to watch this really close
because it happens very fast.
I hope you like it.
Here we go.
(upbeat pop/rock music)
(Farrell thuds) Ow.
(audience laughs)
(upbeat pop/rock music)
(upbeat drum roll)
- Hey!
(audience cheering and applauding)
Bobby! - Yes.
- Oh, you look very confused.
- I am.
- Now look, you got something that I need.
You have that key, because, look,
there's only one place she can be.
And if I don't let her outta here, she gets really mad.
(audience laughs)
(upbeat pop/rock music)
(audience cheering and applauding)
Take a bow.
(audience applauding)
- Our next award is for
the Outstanding Television Family Film.
- Presented by "Young Sheldon's" Reagan Revord.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- Television movies have evolved past the ones
we grew up watching on cable.
Not to say they aren't great, I watched them.
But now with streaming there are tons of movies
we wouldn't have ever gotten to see without those platforms.
Amazing animations and heartfelt dramas,
and not to mention hilarious comedies.
There's a whole new world of movies available on TV.
Let's take a look at this year's
Outstanding Television Family Film.
(graphics whooshing) (dramatic orchestral music)
- I'm so proud of you, Rotsami.
- Eh?
Ugoo, Usi, Amika, you really are leading by example.
- When one person in the family scores,
the whole family scores.
- That's not how Papa says it.
When one person in the family scores, your family scores.
- That's not how I sound.
- (clearing throat) Excuse me.
Hey, old chum.
The sight of you lights my heart aglow.
- Rangers, I need your help.
We love ya, Bud, but we just can't invest
in anymore of your independent movies.
- What? No! I'm not here for that.
I'm here for something very important,
although that script was pretty good.
Did you even read it?
- Remember when we first met?
You guys were the reject team.
You were the team to be named later.
TBNL. You didn't even have a name.
Now you are in the championship game,
and the Dragons are having to cheat to beat you.
That's how afraid of you they are.
- It's from my daddy.
He's coming home today.
- What? - Are you serious?
- Whoa.
- He'll be here by late mornin'.
John Boy, you gotta get your brothers and sisters
all squared away.
You have to finish your chores before Grandma
and Grandpa get here.
I gotta get the house ready for Daddy's homecoming,
and I've got breakfast to cook.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Check out the Fraser firs.
They look and smell great and are surprisingly durable.
- Yeah, that could work,
or we could throw caution to the wind
and just get some sort of pine.
(both laugh)
(girl laughs)
(graphics whooshing) (audience applauding)
- And the winner is...
This is very exciting.
"Walton's Homecoming."
(audience applauding)
Accepting on the Walton's Homecomeing behalf is
their very own Logan Shroyer.
♪ Good things, life is good ♪
♪ Never had a doubt that it could be smooth ♪
- Wow, um.
It is a total honor to accept this on behalf
of our Walton's family.
I'd like to thank Sam Haskell for being so passionate
about bringing this story back to the screens.
I'd like to thank God for providing us
all the opportunity to tell this story
that is family-oriented.
I'd like to thank our director, Lev Spiro,
Jim Strain, who wrote the story based on
the classic story of Earl Hamner,
our cast and crew that had sweat, blood and tears
through this, mostly sweat in the Georgia heat,
and CW for giving us a home.
This is just a huge honor, so thank you guys very much.
We had a great time making the film, so.
(audience applauding) ♪ Good things, life is good ♪
- Now presenting for Outstanding Ensemble TV Series,
we have an actor from his very own ensemble show.
- Let's give a warm welcome to "Dallas's"
and "Step-By-Step's" Patrick Duffy.
(audience applauding)
- Thank you.
There is a saying that comes to raising kids,
it's gonna take a village.
When making an ensemble cast,
the show takes nearly half a city.
So with so many different cast members and storylines,
it's no easy undertaking,
but the end result is always worth it.
These are shows that everyone can relate to
because there are so many characters
that you are bound to identify with at least one of them.
So let's take a look at this year's
Outstanding Ensemble TV Series.
(graphics whooshing)
- Professor Boucher was part of
the Army Corp of Engineers,
and he built bridges all over the world.
- You know, I was also in Europe.
- Ooh, perhaps you trudged across one of his bridges.
How neat would that be?
- I bet Dad did cool Army stuff, too.
- Nope, trudgin' sums it up.
- Magnet school.
I am so proud of you.
- First Conner to go to a school
that doesn't start with the words public or reform.
Hear, hear!
(utensils clinking)
- What about the deli?
- Pops loved the deli almost as much
as he hated me by giving me this useless pen.
- The deli it is.
- All right, let's honor his wish and spread
his ashes in a suburban sandwich shop.
- All right, remember.
Cobra Kai's gonna do everything they can to get a spot.
- But if we win, we can show the world how to stop them.
- First you must prove you can compete with best.
- But in order to do that,
you have to be better than the best.
- My beautiful daughter.
She has made me so proud by giving me a grandson
and also by becoming a world class heart surgeon.
- She doesn't know you're a nurse?
- Oh, she knows.
(graphics whooshing) (audience applauding)
- And the winner is
for Outstanding Ensemble TV Series,
"Bob Hearts Abishola."
Accepting is their very own Barry Shabaka
and Shola Adewusi.
(bright synth music)
Congratulations to you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Ah, thank you so much for the Family Film award.
It's always an honor to be honored,
and we are humbled by being honored,
and thank you so much.
There's so many people to thank that we'd be here
all night, but I'd like to thank Chuck Lorre,
Gina Yashere, Matt Ross,
Beth McCarthy Miller, our director,
our incredible cast, Billy Gardell,
Folake Olowofoyeku, God, Maribeth Monroe.
We could go down the list.
Everybody on our team is like A-team.
Every time we go out, a great family to us all.
- Yes, and I'd like to thank Al as well,
and all the unsung heroes,
and by that I mean the PAs and the people that,
you know, are the heartbeat behind the shows.
So thanks to them.
You know, all the lighting staff and the set people.
Just want to thank them, as well.
- Thank you.
(audience applauding) (dramatic orchestral music)
- [Announcer] Next, the Daytime Icon Award
for soap opera legend Finola Hughes.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(audience applauding)
- Welcome back to the Family Film Awards.
- Now it's time for our Daytime TV Icon award.
- From acting to directing,
this incredible woman has achieved so much
in daytime television.
- To present this honor we have Ian Buchanan.
(audience applauding) (soft orchestral music)
- Good evening.
Thank you very much.
It's a pleasure to be with you all tonight,
though I must admit I am a tiny bit nervous.
And not just because I'm standing in front
of a crowd of so many of my peers,
but because I'm being presented with
the extremely difficult task of boiling down
a multitude of achievements of a momentous person,
someone who's made a massive impact on my life,
and we don't have as much time to do that as I'd like.
I am, of course, speaking about the vivacious,
the fantastic Finola Hughes.
Anyone who's had the pleasure of working with Miss Hughes
knows that she's a true thespian through and through.
In fact, she's one of the hardest working people
in the industry.
And I say that with no bias attached.
The woman is a powerhouse of talent and charisma.
She really is.
Finola began her career as a dancer,
originating the role of Victoria
in the London Production of Cats
before making the leap to Hollywood.
We first met in 1986 at a casting
for what I was told was
a big show
that ABC called "General Hospital."
I flew out to California to the studio,
and Finola was one of the first people that I met there.
We did a screen test together,
and as you can imagine,
she was as scintillating, and she was radiant
as she is today, and she always has been.
I never would've guessed that moment was the beginning
of a 36 year friendship full of laughter and delight.
And there's something Finola carries with her always.
Not only has she been stapled
in the wonderful world of soap operas,
but for many years,
particularly in her award-winning role
of Anna Devane,
but she brings a sense of kindness and authenticity
to every role she's ever tackled,
be it on screen
or behind the camera.
Recipients of this great honor
are highly respected within their field,
and to say that of this fantastic woman,
my good friend,
is the understatement of the century.
Let's take a look at some of her achievements.
- Then he must remove himself from the case.
We are men and women in uniform,
and we have to look at ourselves
in the mirror every morning.
- Just when do I meet this new hotshot partner of mine?
- Why don't you turn around and find out, Mr. Scorpio
- Robert Scorpio, meet Anna Devane.
Now, Swede and O'Reilly already know Anna.
They've worked with her on a couple of missions.
- This is very romantic music.
May I have the pleasure of this dance, Miss Devane?
- Yes, of course.
I came to wish you good luck.
- Thanks, Anna.
Chief.
- It's Anna. You're still on suspension.
- Right.
(audience applauds)
- It truly is a privilege
to present the Daytime TV Icon Award
to someone who has achieved so much.
This is Finola Hughes.
(audience applauds) (upbeat jazzy music)
- Thank you so much, Ian, for those kind words.
I don't know if I really deserve that,
but it was very lovely,
and we've been friends for,
as you said,
38 blah blah years.
Thank you so much, Family Film Awards,
for this honor.
It's unexpected,
and I kind of get nervous at these things,
and I'm the one of those strange people that,
if I'm in in an awards show,
I'm always praying that they don't call my name,
and for the most part, they've obliged,
but today, I get to receive this,
and it is a beautiful acknowledgement
of General Hospital, as well
because we are going to be on the air
for 60 years this year,
so that's quite an accomplishment.
Something like this award really makes you reflect
on the riches in your life,
and I have done that today,
and I think it is the people in my life that
are
the riches.
My beautiful brother and his family,
and my three children: Dylan, Cash, and Sadie,
I would be nothing without you.
I'm very grateful for your support along this journey,
and I hope an award like this doesn't mean
that the journey is going to end anytime soon,
but thank you so much.
I really appreciate this.
Thank you.
(audience applauds) (exciting upbeat music)
- Up next: music from the movie Elvis
performed by Elliot Yamin and the LA Gospel Choir.

in a feature film.
Plus a lifetime achievement award for Joe Mantegna.
(triumphant music)
(audience applauds)
- As we near some of our final awards for the night,
we come to Outstanding Actor in a Feature Film,
presented by The Neighborhood's Hank Greenspan.
(electronic music) (audience applauds)
- Hi!
Being the leading role in a movie can be daunting,
to say the least.
You have so many lines,
and your face is plastered on every poster and billboard,
and you never know how an audience is going to respond
to the final product.
It takes hours and hours of hard work
and the support of an entire film crew
to come out with a movie that people will like
and a performance that'll be talked about for ages.
Let's take a look at this year's
outstanding actors in a film.
And the nominees are:
- Thank you.
I won't, but thank you.
- I got a job coming up.
A big one.
I need another set of hands on it.
- So this is what you do?
You stumble into bars
trying to pick up an accomplice?
- I'm offering you a real ticket outta here.
What do you say?
- I said some really mean stuff to her,
and I regret it,
and I just need to take it back.
And I called her a human mummy.
- Mummies are human.
- I am aware of that now.
Yes, that's true.
- But for me,
I've always wanted to fly fast faster,
faster than the speed of light
to the rock of eternity.
- What?
To the rock of eternity?
- Captain Marvel, Jr.
It's my favorite comic book hero.
- We're going into combat, son,
on a level no living pilot's ever seen.
Not even him.
That's no time to be thinking about the past.
- An A-14 against fifth-gen fighters?
- It's not the plane.
It's the pilot.
- You'd go after him if I wasn't here.
- But you are here.
(audience applauds)
- And the winner is:
Austin Butler!
(electronic music) (audience applauds)
Unfortunately, Austin Butler is unable to attend tonight,
so we are accepting on his behalf.
(audience applauds)
- For the next award,
we have Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film,
presented by Major Crime's and The Closer's
Tony Denison.
(audience applauds) (exciting music)
- Good evening. Hi.
The craft of acting is something that takes
years of study and dedication.
Being the leading role in the film is the culmination
of all that hard work.
We get to showcase the craft
that we have been so dedicated to our whole lives,
and for that reason, let's honor this year's
Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film.
And the nominees are:
- I couldn't stand seeing them locked up in that cage,
so I let 'em go.
- So what happened?
- I got beat by my daddy.
He said I ain't do that bird no favors.
All I did was give some snake his supper.
- I need you to be here with me.
- I'm literally standing in front of you.
- Okay.
I mean the texting, the sneaking away,
so you can talk to your clients.
I need you to be present.
Hannah is 16,
and Henry shot up like, a foot this spring,
and I have no idea how any of this happened.
- It was you?
You gave the fake tip?
You derailed the whole investigation,
and worst of all, you made me doubt myself!
- This is on you!
And that clueless white dude
who has no idea how to raise my black kids.
- Okay.
You sound insane,
and our black kids are being raised just fine.
- Ugh darn it.
I smudged my liner.
- This seem right to you?
- Yeah, he's executed a perfect smokey eye.
Great job, honey.
- Hi.
Sherry.
I'm with my nephew,
your son, Nathan.
- Nate.
And I'm going to get him on the next airplane.
- Bus. We can't afford an airplane.
- Home.
And you know, maybe someday
we can all laugh at this
if there's a world where we ever speak again.
(audience applauds)
- And the winner is:
No.
My mind reading abilities are really ...
I'm hungry, so they're sort of ...
Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film:
Queen Latifa, Tiger Rising.
(audience applauds)
Queen Latifa is unable to attend tonight,
so we are accepting this award on her behalf,
and thank you very much.
(audience applauds)
- This next award culminates a lifetime of work
and recognizes the dedication to the arts
and entertaining families around the world.
- To help present this incredible honor,
we have Mr. Shemar Moore.
(electronic music) (audience applauds)
- How's everybody doing tonight?
So I just came racing across town,
literally just pulled in the back parking lot.
I am here to celebrate an amazing,
an amazing guy,
an amazing, amazing man,
and his name is Joe Mantegna.
(audience applauds)
Now,
this year's Family Lifetime Achievement Award
we are presenting it to Joe,
who is more than just an entertainer,
but he's also an activist,
someone who dedicates his time to children
and adults with special needs.
This man's heart is huge.
He gives back to the community, supporters, our troops,
whenever he can.
He truly exemplifies what a family is all about:
taking care of one another.
This award only adds to his ever-growing
list of achievements,
from getting the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
to his four Emmy nominations,
Golden Globe nominations,
and he won a Tony Award in 1984 for Glengarry Glen Ross.
Joe Mantegna has brought so many
incredible stories to life
and brought even more people and families together.
Now, let's take a look at some of these iconic roles.
- We recognize Joe Mantegna's work
in animated shows and movies
that had families laughing together
like Cars 2.
- Hey, tow truck!
We'd like to get to our private business here,
if you don't mind.
- And The Simpsons.
- I am not so much disappointed
as I am blinded with rage.
- Also, primetime dramas
which had older families at the edge of their seats.
- You've got the full force
of United States law enforcement on your heels.
Where else do you go?
- And motion picture classics
we all washed with our families
like Baby's Day Out.
- Now I got you!
You ain't gonna crawl away this time.
(baby laughs)
- The Three Amigos.
- Do you know what the word "nada" means?
- Isn't that a light chicken gravy that you just ...
- It means nothing!
Zero! Zip!
It's what you're gonna have when I'm through with you!
- And Searching for Bobby Fischer.
- He's better at this than I have ever been at anything
in my life.
He's better at this than you'll ever be at anything.
- As well as specials that helped bring awareness to causes
and help support communities and others like our troops.
With his National Memorial Day concert
and serving as the Grand Marshall
in the Hollywood Christmas parade,
Joe has been involved with charities like Toys for Tots,
helping make sure as many children as possible
get presents in the holiday season.
Tonight, we add to his ever-growing list
of achievements and awards,
from being placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
with his very own star
to all of his Emmy nominations,
a Golden Globe nomination,
and a Tony Award.
- And the winner is
Joe Mantegna in Glengarry Glen Ross.
(audience applauds)
- So ...
Before this man comes out,
I just had to read the teleprompter
if you couldn't tell,
so I'd like to do something from my heart,
and that's the reason I'm here
is because this man,
he's special.
He really is special.
He has been like a father to me.
And I worked with him for 11 years on Criminal Minds.
He did 13 years on Criminal Minds.
I always used to tell Joe ...
You know, you get to know him, you get to talk to him,
and you forget that he's a superstar.
When you talk to him, you feel like
you're just talking to a regular old guy,
just regular old Joe.
His character, his dignity is bigger than any star
on the Walk of Fame.
He's a one of a kind guy, and I always say
always imitated, never duplicated.
And I always told him, I said,
"Joe, I want to be like you when I grow up."
And he would always respond to me and say,
"You're on your way, my son."
So please, without further ado,
please make a lot of noise.
Please welcome the Family Film Lifetime Achievement Honoree
Mr. Joe Mantegna.
(audience applauds) (triumphant music)
- Oh, please.
Thank you.
Well, first of all,
I want to thank Family Film Awards
for this incredible honor,
and to be presented by ...
I have two wonderful daughters,
but that's the son I never had right there.
And God bless him.
God bless Shemar.
And I guess what I would just like to say is this:
I've been in this business for over 50 years,
and one thing, you know ...
I think we've all been aware that
sometimes people in our business
and in sports and in music
they'll often say,
"Look, I'm not a role model.
Don't do what I do.
Just know that this is what I do,
but I'm not a role model."
But you know what?
People in our profession
and other public professions,
we don't have a choice.
In other words,
the public decides who the role models are,
so I think it's always been just very important
that people who do have a public profession,
whether it's show business, whether it's sports,
whether it's music, whether whatever it may be,
that they do the best they can
because they do have an influence on people,
whether they like it or not.
So all I could say is
I will just try to continue to do the best I can
to be that kind of a role model for anybody
who takes the time and the effort to perhaps
do the kind of work that I have to do every day.
So God bless.
God bless you all.
Thank you so much for this award,
and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Thank you.

- Welcome back to the 25th Annual Family Film Awards.
- Now, let's take a look at the long-awaited
Outstanding Dramatic Feature Film Award
presented by none other than
comedian, actor, producer, and writer
Tom Arnold.
(audience applauds) (exciting music)
- Hello everyone.
Hello.
Hi everyone.
- When you're making a movie,
you hope that it's gonna be something
that will light the same spark you had
the first time you went into a movie theater
and saw a great movie.
Maybe you're recreating your favorite action scene
in the lobby with your buddies afterwards.
Who hasn't done that?
Punching and kicking everyone.
Or maybe you saw a movie that was so impactful
that it gave you a whole new worldview.
Let's take a look at this year's
Outstanding Feature Film Drama.
The nominees are:
- Hello,
- Hello! - Hello.
- How have they done?
- English. English.
- English.
- Just breathe.
If you don't, she'll think you're scared.
- I am scared.
- She doesn't need to know that.
(dinosaur screeches)
- All this for a child you met yesterday.
- Wanda, you are justifiably angry.
You had to make terrible sacrifices.
- In that moment, in a flash of lightning,
I watched that skinny boy in the pink suit transform into
a superhero.
- ♪ Well, you may go to college ... ♪
- What's their heading?
- Bullseye. 0-9, 0-50, tax Southwest.
- They're headed away from us.
They don't know we're here.
- The second those tomahawks hit the airbase,
those bandits are gonna move to defend the target.
We have to get there before they do.
Increase speed.
(audience applauds)
- And the winner is:
Elvis.
What a great movie that was.
Unfortunately, Elvis has left the building.
Get it?
So I'm accepting this on Elvis' behalf
and everybody in the movie.
I'm taking it home.
Kids, I won!
