The Houston Film Critics Society will present a Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously to Patrick Swayze on Saturday during its Best of 2009 Award Presentation. The society also will give its Humanitarian of the Year Award to G.W. Bailey, an actor known for his parts in the Police Academy movies and in TV's The Closer.

Bailey, who will attend to accept the award, is being recognized for his work with the Houston-based Sunshine Kids Foundation.

The presentation is free and will be full of video clips, so I hope you can make it. It will take place at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Museum of Fine Arts' Brown Auditorium. The free event will be followed by a reception in the museum galleries.

Members of the organization will announce awards in 15 categories in a presentation that will be filled with film clips.

Bailey, who was born in Texas, has long volunteered for the Sunshine Kids, an organization that provides activities, trips and events for young cancer patients. Bailey became executive director of the organization in 2001.

This is the second year the Houston Film Critics Society has presented awards to the year's best movies. Founded in 2007, the group is comprised of critics from area newspapers, TV stations and websites and was organized for the purpose of increasing public awareness of cinematic excellence and to encourage the publication and broadcasting of substantive critical commentary on film.
