Kennedyjeva nagrada
Kennedy Center časti je vsakoletna prireditev namenjena pomembnim osebam za njihove življenjske prispevke ameriški kulturi države ZDA. Za nagrado ni potrebno imeti ameriškega državljanstva, časti se pa predvsem pomembne glasbenike, igralce, kulturne ikone. Prireditev se je pričela z letom 1978 in velja za izredno prestižno prireditev, katere se praviloma udeleži predsednik države in kulturna elita, saj počaščene osebe na prireditvi ne nastopajo, prireditev se odvija s čaščenjem njihovega dela s pomočjo njihovih, mlajših, kolegov. Ves čas se ta prireditev izvaja v Washingtonu D.C. v Operni hiši kulturnega središča Kennedy Center.[1]
Zgodovina
[uredi | uredi kodo]Prireditev je bila sprva organizirana kot zasebna pobuda uporabe nove operne hiše v namen večjega namena. Že od začetka se prireditev posreduje televiziji, a ne v neposrednem prenosu. Sicer daljša prireditev se oskubi in očisti nepotrebnih detajlov in tako posreduje javnosti preko televizije okoli božičnih praznikov. Prvi gostitelj prireditve je bil Leonard Bernstein, sledili pa so različni voditelji, izstopa TV novinar Walter Cronkite.[2]
Nagrajence se izbira po predlogih javnosti,[3] , oblikuje pa se tudi odbor predstavnikov organizatorjev in nagrajencev, ki na koncu odloča o vsakoletni peščici nagrajencev. Nagrada predstavlja odličnost v glasbi, plesu, operi, filmu in televiziji.[4]
Prejemniki nagrade
