Clooney honored in Kentucky contest

Kentucky is honoring native son George Clooney with an award from the governor. Clooney's parents were at the State Capitol yesterday to receive the award on their son's behalf. The actor won the "national award" category in the 2009 Kentucky Governor's Awards in the Arts. The award is given each year to a Kentucky-born artist who has gained national or international recognition. Clooney was born in Lexington.
