Hollywood Walk Of Fame Class Of 2020 Includes Actors, Comedians, Directors, And A Superhero

The 2020 Hollywood Walk of Fame class will include directors, musicians and even a superhero.

Hollywood’s Chamber of Commerce announced 2020’s Walk of Fame class on a livestream hosted by Variety Thursday afternoon. And the 2020 class looks to be one of the most star-studded collections of people the Chamber of Commerce has ever honored.

Leading the charge in the film category would be acclaimed actress and “America’s sweetheart,” Julia Roberts. Spike Lee, coming on the heels of his first Academy Award win, will also be honored with his own star on the Walk. Other names in the film category include two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, Laurence Fishburne, Chris Hemsworth, and Octavia Spencer.

In the TV category, “Married with Children” actress Christina Applegate will serve as one of the headliners for the 2020 class. Fellow TV actors Terry Crews and Milo Ventimiglia will also be honored with their own stars on the Walk. Longtime hosts Wendy Williams, Andy Cohen, and Kathy Lee Gifford have also been named. And the Commerce will also be honoring comedian Andy Kaufman for his work on TV during the 70s and 80s.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Alicia Keys, Billy Idol, and Elvis Costello will headline the musician category while Dave Chappelle and Billy Porter will be honored for their work in live theater and performance.

But perhaps the most surprising name in the 2020 Walk of Fame class is a fictional character. Batman has been chosen to receive a star on the walk as part of the film category. While it may be surprising to some, Batman’s has a long history on the big screen dating back to serials from the 1940s. And with names like Michael Keaton, Adam West, Christian Bale, and now Robert Pattinson attached to play the DC superhero, it is clearly a role that attracts some of the best and most unique talent in the industry.
