Members Jonathan Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 I was confused because I thought she had already received a similar award from NATAS back in the 80s. It was called the Trustees Award. But according to wikipedia, that award is for continued excellence. So this Lifetime Achievement Award is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAYYYYYY overdue. Congratulations Agnes!

Members Khan Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'd rather see Albert Wolsky accept it in honor of his late partner, James Mitchell (Palmer, AMC; Julian, WHERE THE HEART IS; et al). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steve Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well, now I have to watch the awards for the first time a few years. I can't wait to see the tribute to Agnes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 13, 2010 Members Share Posted May 13, 2010 I did more research on the Trustees Award that Agnes received in 1981. NATAS states: So, the Lifetime Achievement Award isn't the highest honor, but it's an honor in itself. If that's the case, then Oprah shouldn't have removed herself for consideration, because she has yet to receive the Trustees Award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 This was tweeted today by soap journalist Deanna Barnert: Whoever that someone was, thank goodness they fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well, maybe they were going to just have her be on stage right out of a clip package because she does have trouble walking. I can see them doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Agnes was probably afraid to come onstage, as any second too long would cause Dick Clark to have her tasered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Dick Clark isn't even involved in the show this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 I just can't convince myself of that. I have this awful vision of Agnes trying to thank people and Dick motions his flunky Ryan Seacrest to get out the brass knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 I remember when Bill Bell was given the Lifetime Achievement Award. He was talking for at least 15 minutes. It was painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Not counting his introduction, his actual speech was less than 5 minutes... <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 I am so glad he won before Agnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 12, 2010 Members Share Posted June 12, 2010 Is that really the whole clip? Wow, I must've had a short attention span back then, because it felt like 15 mintues to me. Well Agnes won the Trustees Award which is a higher honor that Bell never received. Though I'm not sure why they're going backwards and giving her this award 20 years later.
