The Kennedy Center Honors has turned into the Grammy Awards.
They’re inducting Queen Latifah, Dionne Warwick, Barry Gibb, Renee Fleming. And Billy Crystal, a former host of The Grammys.
The Center didn’t include any serious actors, skipping Hollywood and Broadway. Crystal, who everyone loves, is meant to cover both arenas.
But four singers? They’re all deserving but this shows a lack of thought and a craven yearning for ratings.
Fleming and Warwick make sense. The other two could have waited. I love Queen Latifah but she’s too young. But she’s a CBS star, so you get the idea.
No Denzel Washington?
No Francis Ford Coppola?
No Liza Minnelli?
