Ah, I was wondering where this thread was! I thought the show started off really well with the Joni Mitchell tribute (although I hated seeing Mitchell looking so frail), then dragged a little with the Michaels (they couldn’t find any SNL cast member from more than 25 years ago other than Kevin Nealon?) and even the Midler (the best part was Manchester by far, but they couldn’t have her sing?) tributes, and then rebounded with Diaz and Gordy (but I’d really like to know why Diana Ross wasn’t there). Even though the KCH will have 2 editions to submit for Emmy consideration this season, I really don’t think that either of these will ultimately make the list of nominees, as the program hasn’t been nominated in 6 years and I feel like voters have moved on.
Any guesses for next one? Here are mine:
1)Denzel Washington
2)Gladys Knight
3)Emmylou Harris
4)Bernadette Peters
5)Betty White
(Alternates I am hoping 4 too):
6)Pinchas Zukerman
7)Ron Howard
8)Johnny Mathis
9)Phil Collins
10)Audra McDonald
I think that Francis McDormand, and possibly Joel and Ethan Coen, have reached the point in their careers where they deserve to be recommended, but are not included on the updated GD list.
I wonder if Glenn Close will win a KCH before she wins an Oscar.

Phil Collins?! Why don’t you add Randy Newman there to make it complete?
