Who do you think should be considered for next years honors.

Im really hoping for Betty White, Bette Milder, Angela Lansbury, Regis Philbin and Barbara Walters

Really its a shame Carol Channing wasnt granted the honor

It is mind-boggling to me that Dick Van Dyke has not been honored. It needs to happen.

Angela Lansbury received the honor in 2000.

Barbara Walters is a recluse (and is apparently in ill health) and wouldn't attend the awards.

My bad.  In that case I'll add Betty White to my list!

"It is mind-boggling to me that Dick Van Dyke has not been honored. It needs to happen."

He just turned 94 so I hope they do it while he is still alive to enjoy the honor.

They also failed to honor Mary Tyler Moore while she was alive.  They seem to have an aversion to honoring "TV actors" (even though MTM and Van Dyke both did so much work beyond television).

Yeah, Dick Van Dyke not being honored yet is the biggest omission for me. Then Liza & Bette Midler.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
