Sunday night, in Washington D.C., some of the greatest entertainers in American history gathered for the Kennedy Centers Honors. The ceremony awards lifetime achievement honors to those who have helped to shape American culture, and this year's winners were no different. President Barack Obama was in attendance as the first award was presented to Dustin Hoffman by Robert De Niro, who described him as “world class, spectacular, colossal … pain in the *ss.”

King of the talk show David Letterman was hailed by the likes of Stephen Colbert, Ray Romano, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey and Jimmy Kimmel. Jack Black introduced rock titans Led Zepellin, and surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page watched as the Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz and Heart all performed songs from their back catalogue.

Prima ballerina Natalia Makarova and blues legend Buddy Guy, who recently sang "Sweet Home Chicago" with Obama in the White House, were also honored. The special will be aired on CBS on December 26. Do you like watching awards ceremonies?

An Award is suppose to be given for something that shows the admiration of something accomplished. However, Obama would not be able to relate to that since when he received the Noble Award he had not accomplised one thing except being the first Arab elected as the President to America.

There are award shows for award shows. The glut of them has made all of them pretty much pointless. Kind of like that "Sales Award" you see at every car dealership. They all get one.

In fact, I hate them. It's a big advertising scam in my opinion. A party where narcissistic people attend to pat themselves on the back. Where I work we save lives and cure the sick. We never throw an annual party to pat ourselves on the back. A "thank you" is more than enough.

When our unelected monarch awards something at the palace,the red carpet is in place, soft music plays, and the toadies come forward one by one, with moochus pompo, losing their self respect and dignity, as they bow low or curtsy before a nonentity, who should have been booted out decades ago. The awards always refer to the Empire - for goodness sake, what fecking Empire? Hopefully one day this trivia will no longer exist, but in the meantime I hope that a joker will secretly replace the soft, oh so soft, oh so candy floss music, with the resounding German National Anthem!
