'Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle Of Love' Wins Christopher & Movieguide® Awards
Dolly Parton continues to enjoy a successful music career on many levels. Her Pure & Simple album and tour were both resounding successes, as have been her two NBC-TV movies from the holiday seasons, 2015's Coat of Many Colors, and 2016's Christmas Of Many Colors: Circle of Love. Both films were resounding successes for the network, and have resulted in a series of awards for the singer.
Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love was cited as one of the TV and Cable winners of the 68th Annual Christopher Awards, along withThis Is Us, the runaway hit of the season, Academy Award NomineesHidden Figures and Hacksaw Ridge, and Gold Star Parents, an episode of the long-running CBS news magazine staple 60 Minutes. The award will be presented in a May ceremony.
The Christopher Awards win is the latest for the film, which also includes the Movieguide® Epiphany Prize for Television. It marks the second straight win for a Parton-related project, following Coat of Many Colors.
In April of 2016 Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors received the Academy of Country Music's Tex Ritter Award, which honors a movie "released and / or receiving major exposure during the preceding calendar year, featuring or utilizing country music." The award shares its name with Tex Ritter, a film and music star from the 1930s through the 1970s.
The films are both based upon Parton's experiences growing up in the mountains of East Tennessee, and her memories of celebrating the holidays with her family. Circle of Love also detailed the beginning of Parton's desire to make it in the music business. Both projects starred Rick Schroder and Jennifer Nettles as her parents, Robert and Avie, and Gerald McCraney as her grandfather, Jake Owens. Winning rave reviews for her portrayal of Parton in the movies was young actress Alyvia Alyn Lind.
