华盛顿讯——该机构一名发言人周五表示，今年的肯尼迪中心荣誉奖将不在肯尼迪中心举办，而是在华盛顿特区市中心的Capital One体育馆举行。
此次宣布之际，肯尼迪中心主楼目前因特朗普政府所称的安全评估处于关闭状态，同时围绕该中心的法律和政治斗争仍在持续。去年，美国国会为该场馆的翻新工程拨款超过2.5亿美元。
特朗普总统曾宣布对该场馆进行为期约两年的大规模翻新，他还希望将自己的名字添加到中心的外立面和一处户外广场上。由特朗普任命的肯尼迪中心董事会成员曾暗示，如果法院不允许添加他的名字，该中心的大规模翻新工程可能无法推进。
本届肯尼迪中心荣誉奖将于12月7日举办。这项年度盛典旨在表彰在表演艺术领域为美国文化做出终身贡献的人士。Capital One体育馆是华盛顿首都队冰球队和华盛顿奇才队NBA篮球队的主场。
哥伦比亚广播公司自1978年至2025年每年都会转播肯尼迪中心荣誉奖。据一位熟悉该转播合同的消息人士透露，双方的合作合同在2025年颁奖典礼播出后到期。肯尼迪中心发言人表示，该中心预计将于今年秋季晚些时候宣布2026年颁奖典礼的转播合作伙伴。
2025年的荣誉奖得主包括演员西尔维斯特·史泰龙和乡村音乐艺术家乔治·斯特雷特。

Kennedy Center Honors to take place at Capital One Arena

Washington — This year’s Kennedy Center Honors will take place at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., instead of at the Kennedy Center, a spokesperson for the institution said Friday.
The announcement comes as the Kennedy Center’s main building is currently closed for what the Trump administration has described as safety assessments, and as legal and political battles over the center continue. Last year, Congress appropriated over $250 million for renovations to the facility.
President Trump has announced a major renovation of the facility that would take roughly two years, and he still wants to add his name to the facade and to an outdoor plaza at the center. The president and the Kennedy Center board, whose appointees were selected by Mr. Trump, suggested the major renovation of the facility might not proceed if the courts won’t allow his name to be added.
This year’s Kennedy Center Honors will take place on Dec. 7. The annual gala performance recognizes lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts. Capital One Arena is home to the Washington Capitals hockey team and the Washington Wizards NBA basketball team.
CBS has broadcast the Kennedy Center Honors every year from 1978 to 2025. The contract for that partnership ended after the 2025 program aired, according to a source familiar with the contract. The Kennedy Center is expected to announce its broadcast partner for the 2026 program later this fall, the Kennedy Center spokesperson said.
The 2025 honorees included actor Sylvester Stallone and country music artist George Strait.
