| I disagree about Channing. She was Dolly, over and over again. Yes, I know about Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and the films, but compared to others who were passed over while they were alive, Channing is pretty much a one-note samba. Rosemary Clooney, for example, was a singing star, had her own TV show, starred in everyone's favorite December movie, hit hard times, wrote two books and reinvented herself at the end of her career as a top cabaret performer. Perhaps one posthumous award should be given each year so we don't forget what greatness really is. |

| ....they were covering 60+ years of Art. It took them awhile to get through the absolute giants of the film, music, dance worlds. Then they added TV and then opened up the music award to newer forms like rock and blues and C&W. There were probably 100 or more who deserved the honour but didn't live long enough to be honoured. None of the silent stars lived long enough. The Lunts were dead. The Barrymores and Kit Cornell were gone. Not to mention giants of the screen like Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne, who died before the Honors even started. When it comes to actors you have one or at most two a year. And that's film, TV and theatre. So there are always going to be omissions. |
