Didn't see a thread for this.........maybe because Trump awarded it (the first time he has in his presidency) but congratulations to Voight.
Most recently it went to Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks and Audra McDonald (2015).
The National Medal of Arts is an award and title created by the United States Congress in 1984, for the purpose of honoring artists and patrons of the arts. A prestigious American honor, it is the highest honor given to artists and arts patrons by the United States government.

Voight is a bigoted & senile old piece of rancid shit, and I hope I NEVER have to see him again for the rest of his days. Nothing to celebrate when a scumbag honors another scumbag. |

Voight is the only Hollywood figure with even a modicum of prestige to support the accidental president, so it makes sense that he's receiving this honor.

Alison Krauss received the award this year too so tying into what this thread has predictably disintegrated into........don't forget Kid Rock!

I don't know, some part of me loves the idea of Trump giving Voight an award for Midnight Cowboy. Maybe they watch it on the weekends together!

Yikes, fair enough ..........not a Ray Donovan fan I guess .........  I know nothing about his political views and frankly dont give a fuck - Love him in Ray Donovan. |

He's getting a medal (or whatever) for his acting work not for his "humanitarian" efforts and as far as I'm concerned he is or was a top notch actor. I may strongly disagree with his political views but I can still enjoy his acting. Whatever happened to the whole "separate the man from the artist" thing in Voight 's case? It' s OK when a pedophile director is getting the high honors but when it's Voigt's turn, people say it's a scandal? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣How hypocritical!
Ps : I'm not that familiar with Voight's personal life (except that he's Angelina Jolie 's dad) but someone wrote in his comment that he was racist. What exactly did he say or do? It' s a genuine question.

There is literally nothing Voight has over actors from his own generation like De Niro or Hoffman except for Trump's dick in his mouth. Let's call a spade a spade here. |

With or without an orange cock in his mouth😁 And all we're saying is that the orange dick in his mouth played a major part in him getting this "honor" over someone like De Niro who doesn't go a week without telling Trump to go fuck himself. |

That's your opinion. Besides, De Niro has already had his fair share of achievements awards so I highly that he gives a fuck. |

No shit. Why would I be expressing someone else's opinion? He doesn't have to give a fuck for him to be more worthy of something like this. |

But once again, if De Niro does not give a fuck, why should we? |

Trump only gave this award once to an actor in his whole term 2016-now (see thread) to Jon Voight to some controversy........the last years where it was more "normal" recipients were Morgan Freeman, Sally Field, Elaine May, Mel Brooks. Will be interesting to see who gets it next for actors - some big guns and big political heavyweights are still missing this and are all 60+ now: De Niro, Nicholson, Hackman, Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Close, Lange, Washington, Bridges, Beatty, McDormand are missing it........... Eastwood, Redford, Duvall, Streep, Streisand, Pacino, James Earl Jones, Audra MacDonald, Rita Moreno, Angela Lansbury have received it - full link below.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Medal_of_Arts |
