Tim McGraw is one proud husband as his wife Faith Hill was nominated for a WIN Award for her acting role as Margaret Dutton in 1883. She was nominated for Outstanding Actress Made For Television Movie / Limited Series. Faith was nominated along with Julia Roberts and Isabel May. May played her daughter in 1883.
Tim posted to Instagram, "Congrats to @1883official and these incredible women for their @thewinawards nominations!! The most talented woman I've ever known @faithhill for an outstanding actress, our "daughter" Isabel May for an outstanding actress, and @christinaalexandravoros for Scripted show Director. And #1883 for Outstanding Made for Television Movie/Limited Series."
McGraw got several responses to his post, including actress Rita Wilson, Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild, and him and Hill's daughter Audrey who all posted heart emojis.
Fans also responded with one writing, "Faith was great in her role....but Isabel!! The entire cast was phenomenal, really...I was so sad it had to end! Applause all around." Another fan noted, Congratulations to you all, well deserve absolutely loved 1883 seen it four times." One more fan asked, "How do one choose between Isabel and Faith? What!?"
According to their website, Women's Image Network (WIN) produces The Women's Image Awards to harness the power of the media. They note, "By promoting dimensional female media images (created by both men & women), WIN advances the value of women and girls. Now, more than ever, the world strives for equality, and entertainment consumers crave authentic female voices."
The site adds, "Our one-of-a-kind awards show exists to appreciate, encourage and applaud creators because to the extent women's voices remain silent, we all are robbed of their contribution."
Past winners of WIN Awards include Lauren Bacall, Beverly D'Angelo, Cloris Leachman, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Rivers, Lily Tomlin, and many more.
The WIN Awards will be handed out in Los Angeles on November 10, 2022.
Faith Hill seemed to step away from the country music spotlight a few years ago. She's had one of the most significant careers in the genre in the early 2000s as a solo artist. And, of course, along with her hubby Tim McGraw, who continues to record and tour.
Faith did make waves and got some fantastic reviews and recognition for her acting portrayal of Margaret Dutton, playing the wife of James Dutton in 2021 in the Paramount Plus original series 1883. James was portrayed by her "real-life" husband of almost 28 years, McGraw.
Her famous husband wrote his thoughts on many subjects in an article Esquire's "What I've Learned" feature. Tim discusses his family, his early life, and the fact that his wife, Faith Hill, helps him stay sober. McGraw quit drinking in 2008.
He also recalled that his wife Faith Hill helped him stay away from alcohol when he quit drinking. Tim said, "I remember a moment when I was getting out of bed and going to the liquor cabinet and taking a big shot at 8:00 in the morning." He remembered that he went straight to my wife and said, "'This is where I'm at.' I was scared. She just grabbed me and hugged me and changed my life."
Tim also touched on anger and that "love is being angry." He noted that love is getting in "each other's face" and accepting when you are wrong. McGraw shared that most parents fight in front of their kids. He said in part, "Everybody fights in front of their kids. That's part of the deal."
He concluded the piece by saying, "My wife always says, 'You're not scared of anything. I say, 'Oh, one thing. I'm looking at it right now.'"
While we usually see Hill standing beside her husband when he is honored, like at the recent 2023 ACM Honors, where he was given an icon award, she does have some pretty big songs in country music over the years. As Faith celebrates her 56th birthday today (9/21), we take a look at eight of her biggest songs.

1. "This Kiss" (1996)
WB NashvilleJust an amazing and catchy song and the song Faith's solo career is known for. The song became a crossover hit, peaking within the top 10 on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The song's music video features her in a colorful fantasy-like sequence. She is featured swinging on a nectarine, jumping from flower to flower, and riding flying bees and butterflies.
