<\/p>\n The stars had been out and shining shiny in D.C. this weekend … this as President Biden<\/strong><\/a> bestowed lifetime awards on a handful of them who had been honored on the White House.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n George Clooney<\/strong><\/a>, Gladys Knight<\/strong><\/a>, Bono<\/strong><\/a> and the remainder of U2 had been readily available Sunday in our nation’s capital to obtain their Kennedy Center Honors for contributions to the humanities over the course of their lives … and so they all dressed to impress for the swanky get-together.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Gladys Night on the White House .. The Kennedy Center Honors … pic.twitter.com\/NGvpGHatTS<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) December 4, 2022<\/a> <\/p>\n Other honorees included composer Tania Leon<\/strong> and Christian singer Amy Grant<\/strong> — all of them lined up for tons of pictures and took within the applause as JB sang their praises. At one level, he even singled out Gladys particularly and made a little bit pun a couple of traditional tune of hers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n As for the remainder of the bunch … POTUS referred to as all of them “actually distinctive” through the reception — noting Clooney’s exception on-camera roles over time, to not point out his philanthropy. And as for U2 … effectively, let’s simply say Joe’s a fan, going as far as to name them poets of our time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Please be part of us in congratulating your forty fifth class of Kennedy Center Honorees. \ud83e\udd29\ud83c\udf08\u2728<\/p>\n Tune in Dec. 28 at 8 p.m. EST as a star-studded #KCHonors<\/a> lineup pays tribute to @U2<\/a>, @AmyGrant<\/a>, @MsGladysKnight<\/a>, #GeorgeClooney<\/a>, and #TaniaLe\u00f3n<\/a> on @CBS<\/a> and @ParamountPlus<\/a>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcf8 Gail Schulman pic.twitter.com\/1OMUVoJS9H<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Kennedy Center (@kencen) December 4, 2022<\/a> <\/p>\n BTW, it wasn’t simply these celebs who had been in the home … Julia Roberts<\/strong> was there, as was Don Cheadle<\/strong>, Richard Kind<\/strong>, Matt Damon<\/strong>, Sean Penn<\/strong> and others. So, yeah … BIG turnout.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n There’s bits of video trickling out from the precise ceremony — however the entire thing was correctly recorded and goes to air in full later this month. It could even embrace performances from a few of the musical acts … time will inform.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n CLIP: White House reception for Kennedy Center Honorees. pic.twitter.com\/NmdTqbGesg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CSPAN (@cspan) December 4, 2022<\/a> <\/p>\n Pretty good wanting group right here, we should say.
