The annual Kennedy Center Honors were bestowed upon their artistic recipients this past weekend. The 2003 honorees are James Brown, Carol Burnett, Loretta Lynn, Mike Nichols, and Itzhak Perlman. Sadly. one fixture of the yearly event, host Walter Cronkite, had to call in sick with laryngitis. Caroline Kennedy filled in. The show will be broadcast on CBS on December 26th. (Sci-fi TV fans take note that Scott Bakula, your favorite time traveling song and dance man, makes an appearance. And by time traveling I mean Quantum Leap, not that recycled Star Trek Enterprise plot fodder.)
