Tony Awards 2014: Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Will Ferrell, More Join Lineup

The lineup for the Tony Awards 2014 has gotten a bit more star-studded, which didn't seem possible after the initial list of presenters was announced, yet here we are, adding more names to the bunch. The 68th annual ceremony, hosted by Tony winner/generally great guy Hugh Jackman, has added a multi-time Oscar winner, a two-time nominee, a comedy heavyweight, a music legend, and a rising star to its roster. And that's just to name a few.

Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood will appear at the ceremony, presumably to promote his upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway smash Jersey Boys, which hits theaters June 20. Also added to the roster is music icon Carole King, the subject of Best Musical nominee Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Also joining the fray are two-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper, comedy giant Will Ferrell, House of Cards star Kate Mara, Tony nominee Audra McDonald (Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar & Grill) and surprise snub Zachary Quinto, who was the only cast member of Best Revival contender The Glass Menagerie to miss out on a nod, although I'm sure this won't be his only shot at Broadway's richest prize.

These stars join an impressive lineup that already includes Kevin Bacon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Liev Schreiber, Emmy Rossum, Zachary Levi, Lucy Liu, Patricia Clarkson, Leighton Meester, Ethan Hawke, Zach Braff, Matt Bomer, Anna Gunn, Gloria Estefan, Fran Drescher, Wayne Brady, Emilio Estefan, Kenneth Branagh, Tony Goldwyn, Vera Farmiga and Alessandro Nivola.

The three-hour spectacular will be broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 8 on CBS.
