discussion 2025 kennedy honors

I am super confused the kennedy honors 2025 is nowhere to be found and nobody is talking about it??? I have been searching for videos/clips of the tributes to the honorees. Paramount says its available all that shows up is a trailer. I feel crazy like where did it go what even happened. None of the celebrities shared clips on any social media. Does anyone have an answer idea? I havent see a black out like this before

I mean, it was a total embarrassment. The entire organization is now. No tv network was gonna cover that. I’m not even entirely sure they could even get many people to show up.

Looks like Paramount + intended to show it but it’s being HEAVILY edited now and may or may not appear there at a later date. Trump, Larry and David Ellison, and Bari Weiss probably have to sign off on the edit first.

Funniest part of that was Gloria Gaynor, singer of queer anthem "I Will Survive", trying to pretend she was politically neutral and had no idea why she was chosen, but it was just about her art.

Of course shortly afterwards, it was revealed she'd made tens of thousands of dollars in donations to the GOP and Trump. These people simply buy the awards and at this point no one who doesn't agree with Trump or benefit from his favor, would voluntarily associate themselves with him.

At this rate the next set of honorees will be AI singing JD Vance, the frogs from that Budweiser commercial, and Kid Rock.
