How to watch the New Jersey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, hosted by Danny DeVito

Fans of actress Meryl Streep, actor Paul Rudd and former Giants quarterback Phil Simms can cheer as the celebrities and an array of other New Jersey icons are inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame at the 16th Annual Induction Ceremony, airing this weekend on WWOR/My9.

The ceremony airs at 6 p.m. Sunday and can be viewed again on Dec. 28 and Dec. 29 on NJPBS. It will also stream on the Hall’s YouTube ad Facebook channels.

The event honors 21 of the Garden State’s most accomplished residents across six categories, including Arts & Letters Education & Science, Enterprise, Performing Arts & Entertainment, Public Service and Sports.

The induction event, hosted by actor Danny DeVito, drew celebrities to the newly opened New Jersey Hall of Fame Entertainment and Learning Center, where they recorded their award presentations and speeches.

This year’s inductees were chosen from pool of 50 after a public vote. This group joins more than 230 New Jersey natives who were inducted since the first class was named in 2008.

Streep, an actress who won three Academy Awards and eight Golden Globes and received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, is from Bernardsville. “My dreams were born in New Jersey and my imagination was nurtured in her public schools and for that, I am very grateful,” she said at the event.

To qualify for the New Jersey Hall of fame, an inductee must have lived in New Jersey for at least five years. It is not necessary to have been born in New Jersey.

The 10,000 square foot center housing the New Jersey Hall of Fame is filled with interactive exhibits where visitors can experience space travel and sing on a karaoke stage with holograms of music legends like Frankie Valli and Gloria Gaynor. On the Hometown Tour exhibit, passengers climb into a classic car for a virtual reality tour through the hometowns of the New Jersey Hall of fame inductees.
