Francis Ford Coppola’s Family Gathers for Photo at His Kennedy Center Honor (Exclusive)

The 2024 Kennedy Center Honors marked a big family reunion for Francis Ford Coppola.

The award-winning director, 85, was among this year’s honorees recognized for their lifetime artistic achievements.

The 47th annual event, hosted by Queen Latifah in the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 8, also named rock icons Grateful Dead, acclaimed singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt and legendary jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval as recipients. Plus, the Apollo received a special Honors as a historic American institution.

PEOPLE has an exclusive look at portraits of many of the honorees and presenters ahead of the event, premiering Dec. 22 at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Host Latifah, 54, can be seen posing in her own rainbow-colored Kennedy Center Honor medallion, after she earned the distinction in 2023.

Surrounding a seated Coppola, also clad in his medallion, are many of his extended family members: Thomas Mars, Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola, Pascale Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, Brady Cunningham, Talia Shire, Marlowe Schwartzman, Gia Coppola and Honor Titus. 

The Kennedy Center Honor is the latest of several accolades for The Godfather writer-director, including five Oscars and an Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, two Emmy nominations, three Golden Globes and two Palme d’Or prizes from the Cannes Film Festival.

Other portraits from the event include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who paid tribute to Raitt, 75; Miles Teller, who honored The Grateful Dead; and actress-songwriter Grace VanderWaal, who presented the distinction to Coppola, her director in the 2024 movie Megalopolis.

“In a star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, the 47th class of Kennedy Center Honorees will be saluted by today’s leading performers from New York, Hollywood and the arts capitals of the world,” reads a press release.

“Seated in the Box Tier of the iconic Kennedy Center Opera House, the Honorees will accept the recognition and gratitude of their peers through performances and tributes.”

The annual ceremony, it continues, “recognizes and celebrates individuals whose unique contributions have shaped the way we see ourselves, each other and our world. Recipients have each had an impact on the rich tapestry of American life and culture through the performing arts.”
