Patrick Stewart to be knighted.

Yet another snub to Scott Bakula. From the Daily Record:

Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart is to be knighted in the New Year's Honours.

The 69-year-old movie star and thespian will be one of the big names in the honours list announced by the Queen.

Patrick has had a 50-year career in theatre and films including 16 years with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

But he is best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films.

Senior sources said the Queen was an admirer of the famously bald star.
