New Year’s honours omissions

Michael Gove makes a striking point in his Times column today:

“I am delighted Bruce Forsyth will be getting his knighthood shortly. But why, still, no K for Christopher Lee? I don’t begrudge McKellen or Gambon their honours, but Lee is quite simply our greatest living screen star. He is 87 next year. A career in which he has played Counts, from Dracula to Dooku, cannot continue with him still a commoner.”

To be honest, I’ve been going through the past few years assuming that Lee’s been knighted already.  He certainly deserves it for bringing us the greatest screen incarnation of Dracula, among many other achievements.  Are there any other glaring New Year’s honours omissions that CoffeeHousers can think of?

P.S. While I’m thinking about it, don’t forget to submit you suggestions for David Cameron’s New Year’s resolution. You can do so by clicking here. There’s a bottle of bubbly at stake…
