‘The Chosen,’ Season 4, Nominated With ‘Sound of Freedom,’ ‘The Blind’
The K-LOVE Fan Awards is a fan voted awards show that aims to “create a fan experience that celebrates and promotes artists, athletes, authors and entertainers who, with excellence, engage and impact popular culture for Jesus Christ.”
This year’s show will take place at the Grand Ole Opry. Nominees include Christian artists and groups, worship songs, books, and podcasts. Fans can vote for their favorite nominees here.
Last year, the finale of Season 3 of “The Chosen” won the K-LOVE Fan Award for Film & Television Impact. This year, that category has been split into two in order to give “more faith-based visual media titles the opportunity to shine.”
“The Chosen,” Season 4, was nominated in the Film Impact category. The other nominees in that category are “After Death,” “Big George Foreman,” “Journey to Bethlehem,” “Ordinary Angels,” “Sound of Freedom,” “The Blind,” and “The Shift.”
“Jonathan & Jesus” is a docuseries that explores the growth of “The Chosen” following Season 2 and which focuses on what it is like for actor Jonathan Roumie to play the role of Jesus. At times Roumie has found the experience to be overwhelming, particularly as he has encountered fans who respond to him as though he were actually Jesus. However, the actor also sees playing the part as a gift.
“There’s definitely a responsibility,” Roumie told a tour guide while visiting Notre Dame, “but I also feel it’s a joy for me to get to do my job as an actor and get to play the person that has the most meaning in my life, the person that I love beyond anything or anyone.”
