Other stars that will hand out trophies are Ashton Kutcher, the cast of "Hidden Figures," the cast of "Stranger Things," Viola Davis, Michelle Dockery, James Marsden, Nicole Kidman, Brie Larson, Denzel Washington and many more.
During the night Lily Tomlin will be honored with the Life Achievement award for her amazing work until now. To honor the amazing legend, a pair of legends like Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton would only be fair to hand out the amazing accolade.
