 The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has announced that the 2,538th Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will go to Peter Jackson in a ceremony to be held on Monday, December 8 at 11:30am. The star will be located at 6801 Hollywood Blvd in front of the Dolby Theater, with the ceremony taking place in that same location. Andy Serkis will be the guest speaker with additional celebrities in the form of Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Richard Armitage and Elijah Wood. With all these folks in Hollywood that day, it now seems pretty clear that the previously supposed New York premiere on the same date is no longer happening.
Everyone at TheOneRing.net would like to issue Sir Peter Jackson a heartfelt congratulations, you will always be welcome at any and all of our fan events. After all, you helped create this thriving community of fans we foster on TORn.

Hollywood Chamber to honor Peter Jackson with star on the Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that Director/Producer/Screenwriter Peter Jackson will be honored with the 2,538th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, December 8, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. PST. The star in the category of Motion Pictures will be dedicated in front of The Dolby Theatre, at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.
"We are very happy to honor such an esteemed filmmaker as Peter Jackson with a star on the Walk of Fame,"¯ stated Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies. "His groundbreaking and award-winning films are part of the legacy of larger-than-life, Hollywood-style entertainment that is beloved the world over."¯
Assisting emcee and Hollywood Chamber President/CEO Leron Gubler to unveil the star will be actor Andy Serkis.
Peter Jackson is one of the world's most successful filmmakers. One of his monumental achievements, "The Lord of the Rings"¯ Trilogy, which he directed, as well as co-wrote and produced along with fellow Academy Award® winners and frequent collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, collectively earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations, winning 17 Academy Awards, including Best Picture for the final film. Jackson and Walsh had received in 1995 their first Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for their acclaimed film "Heavenly Creatures".
Jackson once again plunged into the world of Middle-earth to direct, co-write and produce a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The first film in "The Hobbit"¯ Trilogy, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey",¯ was released in 2012 and earned over $1-billion worldwide and three Academy Award nominations. The second film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug",¯ released in 2013, earned over $950-million and earned three Academy Award nominations.
Jackson's most recent film is the third and final installment. As with the first two films in The "Hobbit"¯ Trilogy, the final film is a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), with New Line managing production. The film will be released by Warner Bros. worldwide on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, with select international territories releasing on December 10, 2014, in High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D) in select theaters, other 2D and 3D formats, and IMAX®.
Jackson, through his New Zealand-based WingNut Films banner, also was responsible for the globally successful 2005 remake of "King Kong",¯ which earned over $500-million worldwide and three Academy Awards. More recently, Jackson directed the Academy Award-nominated "The Lovely Bones", an adaptation of the acclaimed best-selling novel by Alice Sebold. He also produced the global sensation "District 9",¯ which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Jackson also produced, with Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, "The Adventures of Tintin",¯ which was directed by Spielberg. The film won, amongst many other awards and nominations, the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature and the Producers Guild of America Award for Animated Motion Picture Producers of the Year. The movie is the first of three, based on the world-renowned comic book series by Herge©, and Jackson will direct the second film in the trilogy.
Jackson has been active in enriching and promoting the arts, as well as supporting worthy humanitarian causes, including stem cell research and civil rights. In his home town of Wellington, he has helped ensure the preservation of key historical sites and theaters, as well as chairing the 14-18 Aviation Heritage Trust. He has also mentored young filmmakers and employed hundreds of actors, artists, craftspeople and technical crew from the U.S., New Zealand, and all over the world on his films and other projects.
Jackson was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2002. He was later knighted as a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2010.

However the Hollywood Walk of Fame means nothing, it lost it long ago, so whatever. You don't get a star for doing something, you get one because you pay for it.
like butter scraped over too much bread.

The person who receives the star doesn't pay for it. The one who nominates the person does. Current fee rumored to be $30,000.
Not that PJ and other people who have received the stars don't deserve them. But there is a big fee involved.

Maybe someone covering the event for TORn can find out. Whoever nominates the person pays the fee. Where the money actually comes from, I don't know. It probably varies.
