Enjoy our gallery ranked from #1 to #50, including such overdue people as Denzel Washington, Jessica Lange, Dionne Warwick, Mick Jagger, Harrison Ford, Liza Minnelli, Tommy Tune and many more. Of course, only five of them can be chosen but certainly all are worthy. The Kennedy Center Honors selections for 2021 were Justino Diaz, Berry Gordy, Lorne Michaels, Bette Midler and Joni Mitchell.Īnd now we provide our latest list of Kennedy Center Honors top 50 recommendations for 2023. Of the 2021 selections, Gordy and Midler had been championed here. We had also recommended 2020 honorees Joan Baez, Garth Brooks and Dick Van Dyke (celebrated in May 2021 instead of December 2020) in our previous annual galleries. Those have included country music superstar Reba McEntire plus pop star and Oscar-winning actress Cher in 2018 and two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field and orchestral conductor Michael Tilson Thomas in 2019. In other recent years, we offered a similar special photo gallery and have been very happy to see several of our suggestions be honored.
