肯尼迪中心荣誉奖今年改在第一资本球馆举行 拆除之争持续发酵
10 月 2 日，肯尼迪中心发言人宣布，今年的肯尼迪中心荣誉奖（Kennedy Center Honors）颁奖典礼将于 12 月 7 日在华盛顿的第一资本球馆（Capital One Arena）举行。这是该奖自 1978 年创办以来，首次不在肯尼迪中心歌剧厅举办。
背景是特朗普政府计划拆除这座 1971 年建成、为纪念遇刺总统约翰·F·肯尼迪而设的国家级表演艺术地标，引发法律与国会层面的双重阻击。美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀上月裁定，政府在采取任何拆除步骤前必须至少提前 30 天通知；国会议员也在推动立法阻止拆除。特朗普上月对记者表示，若不进行改造，这座建筑"将不得不关闭、最终会被拆掉"，并称政府应获得肯定。此前，由总统任命者占多数的肯尼迪中心董事会已投票将特朗普的名字加到场馆之上。
肯尼迪中心荣誉奖被视为美国表演艺术领域的最高荣誉之一，往届得主包括众多音乐、戏剧与舞蹈界传奇人物。今年的获奖名单将于稍后公布。典礼移师可容纳两万人的第一资本球馆——华盛顿奇才队与首都队的主场——也意味着这场文化盛事今年将以体育场馆的规模亮相。

Kennedy Center Honors Move to Capital One Arena Amid Demolition Fight
This year's Kennedy Center Honors will be held on December 7 at Washington's Capital One Arena, a Kennedy Center spokesperson said on October 2 — the first time since the awards began in 1978 that the ceremony will not take place in the center's Opera House.
The move comes as the Trump administration faces legal and congressional challenges over its plans to demolish the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the national performing-arts landmark opened in 1971 as a memorial to the slain president. A federal judge ruled last month that the administration must give at least 30 days' notice before taking any steps toward demolition, and members of Congress are weighing legislation to block the teardown. The center's board, largely appointed by President Trump, previously voted to add his name to the facility.
The Honors, among the most prestigious American awards for lifetime achievement in the performing arts, will announce this year's honorees at a later date. Capital One Arena, home of the NBA's Wizards and the NHL's Capitals, seats roughly 20,000.
