重磅新闻：

CBS《家庭电影与电视奖》（Family Film & TV Awards），将在 12月20日（周六）晚 8–9 点 全美同步播出：

纽约时间 8–9 PM；加州时间 8–9 PM；中部时间 8–9 PM。

在美国四分五裂的当下，这个节目正逐渐成为为数不多能向全国传递 温暖、家庭价值与正能量 的大型电视节目，尤其是在圣诞节家家团聚的季节。继 2024 年 CBS 收购金球奖 后，电视台正在全力打造这档节目。

今年的主持人是 Julie Chen Moonves ——CBS著名的早间新闻主播，也是热门节目 Big Brother 的主持人。她的经历在美国媒体史上颇具象征意义。她的丈夫 Les Moonves 曾任 CBS 总裁兼CEO；2018年 MeToo 运动最激烈之时，他因多名女性的公开指控而辞职。Julie 一度请假；三天后回归《CBS This Morning》时，她在节目结束时第一次使用“Julie Chen Moonves”署名 —— 这是她十多年婚姻里第一次在电视上公开使用丈夫的姓氏，表达了对家庭的坚定支持。

节目那句经典的口号是：“家庭是一切。”

从 Julie 身上，我们也看到另一层含义：真正的家庭，并没有那么容易被摧毁。

家庭电影与电视奖：重建之路

这个节目的重启，是多方共同努力的成果：

• David McKenzie（《好莱坞圣诞大游行》制片人）承担整体制作与重塑。
• 裔锦声博士（Jeannie Yi） 引入中国资本，并重新设计了象征凤凰精神的“金色太阳鸟”新Logo。
• John Maatta（前华纳兄弟COO/CFO、曾批准制作《绯闻女孩》）为节目建立制作治理体系。
• Jeff Bogert 负责保护节目商标与知识产权。

家庭电影与电视奖诞生于 1996 年，由 Olympia Gellini 创办，Dick Clark 制作，获得克林顿总统的祝福。如今，它再次以希望、温暖和“家庭”之名回到美国电视舞台——这正是当下美国和世界需要的暖心节目。

CBS 是美国电视界最具影响力的巨头之一：在全美收视率中长期名列前茅，尤其在新闻领域领先；其自有电视台与遍布全国的加盟台构成庞大覆盖网络，几乎触达所有美国家庭；作为与 NBC、ABC、Fox 并列的“美国四大电视网”，CBS 深刻塑造着美国娱乐与媒体生态。作为派拉蒙环球（原 ViacomCBS）的核心资产，CBS 也是一个横跨 MTV、Nickelodeon、Showtime 等品牌的传媒帝国的重要组成部分。2019 年 8 月 13 日，CBS 与 Viacom 宣布重新合并为 ViacomCBS（即今日的派拉蒙环球），由 Bob Bakish 出任总裁兼首席执行官，Joe Ianniello 担任 CBS 董事长兼首席执行官、全面负责 CBS 体系业务，Shari Redstone 则出任新集团的董事长。简而言之，CBS 依然是全球媒体领域最具影响力、覆盖最广的超级力量之一。

Dear All: Please keep an eye on the CBS Family Film & TV Awards, which will air on Saturday, December 20, from 8–9 PM across all U.S. time zones —New York: 8–9 PM; California: 8–9 PM; Central Time: 8–9 PM.

At a time when America feels divided, this program is becoming one of the few national broadcasts that genuinely spreads joy, family values, and positive energy, especially during the Christmas season when families gather at home. After acquiring the Golden Globes in 2024, CBS has poured its full strength into elevating this show.

This year’s host is Julie Chen Moonves, the well-known face of CBS This Morning and the hit show Big Brother. Her story has become part of American media history. Her husband, Les Moonves, was the CEO of CBS; in 2018, during the height of the MeToo movement, he resigned after several women publicly accused him. Julie took a short leave. When she returned to CBS This Morning three days later, she signed off the broadcast with a name she had never used on air before: Julie Chen Moonves—a silent but powerful gesture of loyalty to her family.

“Family is everything” is the signature line of the Family Film & TV Awards.

Through Julie’s journey, we also see another truth:

A family is not easily broken.

How the Family Film & TV Awards Was Rebuilt

The modern revival of the show is a collective effort:

• David McKenzie, producer of the Hollywood Christmas Parade, led the reboot.
• Dr. Jeannie Yi brought in Chinese investment and created the new Sunbird logo — a symbol with the same spirit as the Phoenix.
• John Maatta, former COO/CFO of Warner Bros., whose approval once greenlit Gossip Girl, added governance and structure.
• Jeff Bogert safeguarded the show’s intellectual property and legal rights.

The program was originally created in 1996 by Olympia Gellini, produced by Dick Clark, and received blessings from President Bill Clinton.

Today, the Family Film & TV Awards returns as a celebration of hope, unity, and shared humanity — something the country deeply needs.

CBS stands as one of the most powerful forces in American television: it consistently leads U.S. networks in overall viewership, especially in news; its vast network of owned-and-operated stations and affiliates gives it near-universal national reach; and as one of the historic “Big Four” broadcasters alongside NBC, ABC, and Fox, it shapes much of the country’s entertainment and media landscape. As a key pillar of Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS), CBS is part of a media empire that includes MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime. The company’s modern structure took shape on August 13, 2019, when CBS and Viacom reunited to form ViacomCBS—now Paramount Global—with Bob Bakish as president and CEO, Joe Ianniello overseeing all CBS-branded assets as chairman and CEO of CBS, and Shari Redstone serving as chairwoman of the combined conglomerate. In short, CBS remains a dominant, far-reaching, and influential powerhouse in global media.

At a time when America feels increasingly divided, this program has become one of the very few major television events capable of delivering warmth, family values, and positive energy to audiences nationwide—especially during the Christmas season, when families come together. Following CBS’s acquisition of the Golden Globes in 2024, the network has been fully committed to rebuilding and elevating this show.

This year’s host is Julie Chen Moonves, a renowned CBS morning news anchor and the longtime host of Big Brother. Her personal journey carries deep symbolic meaning in American media history. Her husband, Les Moonves, formerly Chairman and CEO of CBS, resigned in 2018 at the height of the #MeToo movement following public accusations by multiple women. Julie briefly stepped away from television; when she returned to CBS This Morning three days later, she signed off for the first time as “Julie Chen Moonves.” It was the first time in over a decade of marriage that she publicly used her husband’s surname on air—an explicit expression of her commitment to family.

The show’s iconic motto is: “Family is everything.”
Through Julie’s story, we see another layer of meaning: true family is not so easily destroyed.

Family Film & TV Awards: The Road to Renewal

The revival of this program is the result of a collective effort:
• David McKenzie, producer of the Hollywood Christmas Parade, led the overall production and creative revitalization.
• Dr. Jeannie Yi (裔锦声博士) brought in Chinese investment and redesigned the new logo—the Golden Sunbird, symbolizing the spirit of the phoenix.
• John Maatta, former COO/CFO of Warner Bros. and the executive who greenlit Gossip Girl, established the show’s production governance framework.
• Jeff Bogert oversaw the protection of the program’s trademarks and intellectual property.

The Family Film & TV Awards was originally founded in 1996 by Olympia Gellini, produced by Dick Clark, and received congratulations from President Bill Clinton. Today, it returns to American television carrying the values of hope, warmth, and family—exactly the kind of heartfelt program America, and the world, needs right now.
