This year’s group was very good and well deserving of the awards. It is nice that the President was able to further art in the United States with his presence this afternoon.
I was shocked that Al Pacino and Mel Tillis made this years list. Pacino should make every honored list as an actor. From his early days on the Godfather movies to later day treats such as HEAT, and The Recruit I am a big fan of Pacino.
While we typically think of art as hanging on a wall, or figures, or figurines, or decorations there should be a broader term used for those with exceptional talents.
Congratulations to all who made the list this year.
Thanks
