Washington — The Kennedy Center Honors was a decidedly tuneful affair, with musical talents representing four of its five recipients – vocalists and/or songwriters Dionne Warwick, Renée Fleming, Queen Latifah and Barry Gibb — along with actor/comedian/filmmaker Billy Crystal.
The program, in its 46th year, followed the traditional format that showcases tributes to each honoree by artists and celebs whose identities are undisclosed in advance. It kicked off with a lively parade of dancers down the aisles, led by emcee and former honoree Gloria Estefan and accompanied by Sheila E on drums — a first for the event. Produced again by Done and Dusted Inc., it will air Dec. 27 on CBS.
Omitted this year was one familiar staple at the event – the inclusion of brief video biographies of each honoree that emphasized their childhoods and routes to success. Instead, minimal use of videos embellished career highlights.

Barton Cowperthwaite, best known for his work on Tiny Pretty Little Things, has revealed he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
The 31-year-old actor took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that doctors found "at least a stage 2" glioma.
A glioma is a growth of cells that starts in the brain or spinal cord.
"It is a fairly decent sized brain tumor," he wrote in the social media statement.
"The tumor's cells originate in the brain, so it's not spread from a cancer anywhere else in the body," he added.
Barton portrayed Oren on the Netflix hit Tiny Pretty Things, which launched in 2020.
"The only course of treatment for something like this is brain surgery." he wrote on Instagram.
"Docs so far have been confident that they'll be able to remove most of the tumor, and that after a successful operation, and some rehab, I will be operating like my self.
