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." As he came on stage, to receive the award, ANS reported he received a huge round of applause from his Hollywood peers at the event.

The awards ceremony, known as "The Christian Oscars," was held just three days before Sunday's 77th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.

Dr. Ted Baehr, founder of MOVIEGUIDE® and chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission, gave his Annual Report to the Entertainment Industry at the Awards Gala. He said that the detailed box office statistics in his report prove that moviegoers all over the world prefer clean, morally uplifting movies with strong Christian values.
