How do you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? The yearlong selection process kicks off in April, when applications go live on the Walk of Fame website. By June, the producers receive roughly 200 to 300 nominations

. By June, the producers receive roughly 200 to 300 nominations, among them, a handful that do not meet the minimum requirementsfive or more years of work experience in the entertainment industry, awards and nominations and engagement in philanthropy.

The committee awards a different number of people each year, though usually around 24. The Class of 2021 honorees, chosen this summer, will comprise 35 individuals, due to a competitive pool of 200 applicants. Once the honoree signs a confirmation form, the $50,000 sponsorship fee is donated to the Hollywood Historic Trust, a nonprofit organization that oversees the maintenance of the street and handles repairs that cannot be afforded by the city.

If an applicant isn’t selected the first time around, the nomination can be rolled over to the next cycle. All applications are good for up to two years.

Lol. What a bunch of garbage. Okay, you need to be nominated for one, agree to get it, agree to have a stupid ceremony for it AND MOST IMPORTANTLY PAY $50,000. Glad that’s cleared up. It’s still stupid and a blight on the sidewalk.

Sure... that's why the ceremony always takes place the week someone's movie comes out. 🙄

Who cares

Richard Jaeckel is one who never received a star. He should get one posthumously. Veteran 60 plus year character actor; Oscar nominee and was involved with philanthropy before his death in 1997.

Wait but culty has a star. What fake philanthropy did he claim?

Did they give KimKardashian one yet? Because if they don’t then I don’t wanna know

Please consider awarding a star to Naya Rivera. She was a role model for LGBTQ community around the world for her portrayal as Santana Lopez on Glee and she died saving the life of her son. Please consider it. MsAmberPRiley druidDUDE HeatherMorrisTV

“You cannot just buy a star” “$50,000 sponsorship fee”

✔️ 5 years ✔️ award ❎ $50k ❎ philanthropy got some work to do

Why did you give Trump one then?

And Carole Baskins manages to get her application in for consideration.

Cash always helps
