Dolly Parton’s TV movie “Coat of Many Colors” won the Epiphany prize for the most inspiring television production of 2015. This motivating true story of living legend Dolly takes us inside the tight-knit Parton family and how they overcame tragedy through the power of love, faith, and a raggedy patchwork coat! It tells the tale of a courageous 9-year-old girl from Tennessee, and the loving family that taught her the power of inner strength.

“The War Room,” produced and directed by the Kendrick Brothers, also was named the most inspiring movie at the 24th annual Movieguide Faith & Values Awards.

Joe Mantegna (“Criminal Minds”) and actress Sadie Robertson (“Duck Dynasty”) hosted the show; and you will have the opportunity to view the show February 24 on the Reel Channel. Among the slew of stars that took the stage were Dolly Parton, Ricky Schroder, Tamar Braxton, Jane Seymour, Kevin Sorbo, Pat Boone, and the adorable Alyvia Alyn-Lind, who portrays the young Dolly. The 8-year-old actress won the Grace Award for her piquant performance.

With the award season in full force, try checking out the “Celebration of Entertainment Awards” exhibit at the Hollywood Museum on Highland. Featured in this exhibit are costumes, props, iconic images and special art from “The Big Short,” “The Danish Girl,” “Brooklyn,” “Trumbo,” and “Inside Out,” to name a few. There is a display of statuettes from the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, and more. Also highlighted is a glimpse of fashions over the years, including dresses worn by Marilyn Monroe, Sharon Stone, and Kate Blanchett.

We attended the opening night gala and ran into such luminaries as Tippi Hedren, Donna Mills, Margaret O’Brien (who won an Oscar at 8 years old) and George Chakiris, whose Academy Award and Golden Globe (which he won for “Westside Story”) were on display.

“The Hollywood Museum wants to showcase the best of this year’s films and TV shows, paying tribute to the stars and the studios; and recapture the glamour of old Hollywood,” said Museum Founder and President Donelle Dadigan.

The exhibit runs from now through May 1.
