Get ready to see some of your favorite stars shine even brighter! The Hollywood Walk of Fame has just unveiled its Class of 2027, saluting 32 entertainment icons whose lasting influence has captivated audiences globally. This dazzling lineup was announced by Walk of Fame alums Ming-Na Wen and Sheila E., along with Ron Frierson, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO.
Situated right on Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, the Walk of Fame is a legendary tribute in the entertainment universe, celebrating achievements in film, TV, music, live performance, sports entertainment, and radio. Since its grand debut in 1960, this iconic boulevard has been home to over 2,800 esteemed stars.
The process of getting a star isn't a walk in the park. Fans, studios, or reps nominate celebs, and the choicest are handpicked by the Hollywood Walk of Fame Selection Committee, with the final nod from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Selected stars need to give their thumbs up and have a two-year window to plan their grand ceremony.
“Getting a star on the Walk of Fame is an honor that reflects a lifetime of achievements,” shared Ron Frierson, capturing the essence of this prestigious award.
This year's class is all about diversity and talent. The motion pictures category features heavyweights like Idris Elba, Kate Hudson, and Sam Rockwell, while the Fanning sisters – Elle and Dakota – are set to make history with a rare joint star ceremony.
In the TV realm, Pedro Pascal rides his Hollywood wave alongside Lisa Kudrow and Adam Scott. And when it comes to music, artists such as Karol G, Linkin Park, and Lil Wayne are ready to rock the boulevard next to legends like The Ramones and Waylon Jennings.
The live performance section honors big names like Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and Lea Salonga. Sports enthusiasts will cheer for Jimmie Johnson, while radio fans will celebrate Enrique Santos.
Each honoree will have their own time to shine with personal ceremonies slated for 2026 and 2027. So, mark your calendars – these star-studded events promise a glitzy parade of talent that will take over Hollywood's famed streets.
From beloved actors and chart-topping artists to unforgettable TV personalities and live performers, the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2027 mirrors the incredible talent diversity shaping the entertainment landscape today. They're all set to leave an indelible mark on Hollywood's storied sidewalks.
