“I’m beyond ecstatic to be hosting,” Lilley said in an interview with Movieguide®. “It’s not lost on me that it’s such an honor, and I don’t take it lightly. I’m just incredibly humbled to have been asked and we’re going have so much fun.”
In addition, the program will feature a performance from American Idol alum Colton Dixon, and Kathy Lee Gifford will be presented with the Visionary Award.
A red carpet preceded the event, with Movieguide® TV host and Gala producer Evelyn Carroll conducting interviews with each person who walked the carpet. Though the hour-long special won’t include red-carpet footage, the interviews are available on movieguide.org.
