Jessica Hill/AP A nonprofit has canceled the ceremony for an award named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, after its choice of recipients outraged the late liberal justice’s family. The Dwight D. Opperman Foundation has presented the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award to accomplished women including Barbra Streisand and Queen Elizabeth II since its inception in 2019. But this year, the Opperman Foundation selected four men, including conservative media titan Rupert Murdoch and billionaire Elon Musk, and Martha Stewart. Ginsburg’s family blasted the selection last week, saying the decision is an “affront” to the memory of the late justice and her values. “This year, the Opperman Foundation has strayed far from the original mission of the award and from what Justice Ginsburg stood for,” …

Leading Graziadei past a series of photos, Jean-Pierre paused at one of Ginsburg and asked him to identify her, joking that she knows he’s good with names.  “I’m so sorry,” Graziadei said. “It was a bad time. I knew that that wasn’t actually her in the photo . . . I know how much of a legend she …
