“I Can Only Imagine,” the movie based on the real story behind Mercy Me’s hit song of the same name, has been nominated for an E! People’s Choice Award (PCA) in the Family Movie category.
Voting is open now and will continue through Sept. 14. Fans can vote at www.PCA.eonline.com or via Facebook and Twitter. The official rules allow for multiple votes per day (see the official rules for details).
The top five vote getters in each category will be named finalists and move on to a second round of voting scheduled for Sept. 24 – Oct. 19 with special Turbo voting periods Sept. 13 – 14 and Oct. 4 – 8 when votes count twice. The winners in each category will be named during the E! People’s Choice Awards show on Nov. 11.
The People’s Choice Awards is the only live award show where winners are selected by popular vote of the people, according to a press release.
“I Can Only Imagine,” the only faith-based film nominated in the PCA Family Movie category, spent two weeks at No. 3 in theater box office receipts after opening March 16, 2018.
The film was directed by Birmingham-based filmmakers Jon and Andrew Erwin. It tells the story of Bart Millard, lead singer for Mercy Me, and his rocky relationships with his abusive dad, who came to Christ before his death from cancer. His father’s conversion inspired Millard to write the popular song.
A post at the film’s Facebook page urges, “Help us by using your voice to vote for ‘I Can Only Imagine!’ We are grateful to be able to share the message of hope and redemption amongst so much talent and prestigious awards.”
