Peter Jackson Receives Hollywood Star

Kiwi filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson received his own star on the Walk of Fame yesterday in Hollywood Boulevard.

The star has been placed just outside the Dolby Theatre, where the Academy Awards ceremony takes place every year, and it’s located near those of Nicole Kidman and Steven Spielberg. Several stars from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies attended the ceremony (Andy Serkis, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Richard Armitage, and Elijah Wood) as well as Jackson’s partner Fran Walsh and writer Philippa Boyens.
