Going by previous years this should be getting announced very soon.

I spent the last few hours looking at clips from previous years. Wondering who would be the performers for Liza. Possibilities include Chita, Michael Feinstein, Alan Cummings, Robert Deniro, Joel Grey, and Ben Vereen. Then they can have a chorus consisting of all the gypsys she has hired throughout the years. The number of queens that could be on that stage is mind blowing.

Shouldn't be for a bit, DAME, they historically announce in September or so, around Labor Day.

September? I could have sworn I read a press release last year in July. Oh we'll.

Dame, the honourees for last year were announced on Sept. 12/12...so looks like we still have a while to go.

No Tag. The ceremony happens in December.

I know the ceremony is in December, but the honourees were announced in September.

I know. September was mentioned before. But you wrote 12/12.. which is what my eyes saw.

So this gets announced within the next 2 weeks? No? Still rooting for Liza. Even rooting for Carol. But in any event.. I hope there is a good diva involved. Always makes these things fun for me.

I just resubmitted. But it is probably already decided by now.

Liza still doesn't have one?!

Long overdue. My guess is it gets announced this week. Keeping fingers crossed.

This is the week it's been announced lately. Should be soon!

I looked at one the press releases from last year and they announced on a Thursday.

Last year's honorees were announced on September 12th, so I wonder if we should be hearing something either Thursday or Friday of this week.

Well, it didn't happen.

I bumped this because I could and I want to put it out there again,

I'm wondering if some prospective nominees won't turn down the honor this year because the awards are so closely linked to the president.

[DAME]

Posted: 1/16/17 at 2:32am

From what I understand;  the honor and ceremony have nothing to do with the president.  And not all presidents have chosen to attend.  Certainly the presence of the cheeto  dims the light on these beautiful events.

Does anyone have the updated e-mail address? My e-mail was undeliverable.

Dame, in it's 40 years, there have only been 3 times the president did not attend. Also, there is a reception at the White House before the gala performance which links the awards directly to the President.

Mavis Staples, who won last year, even said at that time she would have declined if Trump were president

This year will be Ted Nugent and 3 Doors Down

Thanks for the link.  There was a news segment right before this years broadcast where they interviewed I don't know who from the honors and they said the president is not required to attend and that the honors go on with our without him.  I will try to find a link.
