Candace Bure Remains Uncancellable as She Wins Big at Movie Awards, Touts ‘Name of Jesus’ on Cable TV
For actress Candace Cameron Bure, success is sweeter when it comes after she was attacked for standing firm in her Christian beliefs.
On Friday, Bure won two top prizes at the 30th annual Movieguide Awards in Los Angeles, which celebrate excellence in Christian entertainment.
The “Full House” alum received the Grace Award for TV performance in “A Christmas…Present,” which her film production company produced in collaboration with the Great American Family network.
Bure’s Christmas movie also won the award for “Best Family Television.”
The former child star gushed on Instagram, “My heart is full of gratitude and love.”
In her post, Bure thanked Great American Family and the fledgling network’s CEO, Bill Abbott, for providing a platform that enables Christians to unabashedly “share scripture and the name of Jesus on cable television.”
“I’m pretty darn excited for my company @CandyRock.Entertainment!” she wrote on Saturday. “Our first movie out of the gate, A Christmas…Present and we won Best Family Television from @MovieGuide Awards.”
