Mass and lunch with LA's Cardinal Roger Mahony, at the Beverly Hills
Hilton Hotel This year the association honored -Television series NBC's "West Wing," staring, Martin Sheen, and Motion Picture "Return to Me," "The highlight
of the day, other than actually getting to talk to her, was Bonnie
Hunt's acceptance speech-I don't think there was a dry eye in the
room. She was touching, and humble and her spirit lit the whole
room. She talked about how she wants to spread good and kindness
in her work. Even though she struggled growing up in a blue collar
family, her faith and soul were the most important things in her
life. God showed her that the love of her family pulled her through
the tough times. When things got tough she always said 'I've got
my faith, another door will open.'" Chicago Film
Critics Association Awards Monday, February 26 2001 The Board of Directors annually selects an individual who has contributed to the growth or prestige of the film/arts/theatre community. This individual receives the Commitment to Chicago award. Bonnie Hunt

Bonnie also accepted the Grace Prize for most inspirational acting for Carol O'Connor, who was ill. The event was broadcast on PAX-TV Easter Sunday. In accepting her award for directing and co-writing RETURN TO ME, Bonnie said, "I didn't expect this. Thank you so much. What an honor." Backstage after the show, she said that the religious faith of her parents, including her father who died when she was a teenager, played an important part in crafting the story for RETURN TO ME, where Carroll O'Connor of TV's ALL IN THE FAMILY plays a godly Roman Catholic grandfather to actress Minnie Driver. "They continue to be an inspiration to me," she added. Don Lake, her writing partner for RETURN TO ME, also came on stage to accept the Epiphany, as did Executive Producer "Doc" Erickson.
