The 2009 Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards will be broadcast on KLRU on May 28 at 8 p.m.

The show will run one hour and is the first time the event will be broadcast. The awards were held at Austin Studios on March 12. It will also be re-broadcast on KLRU2 on June 3 at 9 PM.

This year's honorees were Larry Hagman, Powers Boothe, Catherine Hardwicke, Billy Bob Thornton and Rushmore, the Wes Anderson movie filmed in the Houston area.

Presenters included Linda Gray, Keith Carradine, Brendan Fraser and Dennis Quaid. Luke Wilson accepted honors on behalf of the cast and crew of Rushmore, and Thomas Haden Church took a turn as this year's emcee.

Other special guests included the cast of Friday Night Lights Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Brad Leland and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Grammy Award-winning musician Ray Benson, 2003 Hall of Fame inductee Tobe Hooper, director of 1974's Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch and AFS Artistic Director and 2007 Hall of Fame inductee Richard Linklater, who honored the work of Horton Foote. Foote was inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame in 2003 and died at 92 earlier this year.

Located at Austin Film Society's Austin Studios, the Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards recognize actors, directors, screenwriters, musicians, filmmakers and films from, influenced or inspired by the Lone Star State. The proceeds from the event benefit the educational and artistic programs of the Austin Film Society.
