New Jerseyans have the opportunity to choose their hometown heroes over the next month as the New Jersey Hall of Fame has announced its 2023 nominees.
Members of the public can vote for up to 10 of the 50 nominees in entertainment, arts, business, public service and sports through Friday, May 19 using this online form. The final inductees will be announced in July, and the annual induction ceremony will be held at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. The ceremony will be streamed on the Hall of Fame's YouTube channel.
This year's performing arts nominees include Paul Rudd, a Passaic native who gained mainstream success as an actor in 1995 romantic comedy "Clueless." Over his more than three-decade career, Rudd has become a household name,(snip)
Anthony Bourdain, a New York City native who spent much of his childhood in Bergen County, was a celebrity chef best known for his ability to find connections between international cuisine and the human condition. His television shows — including "A Cook's Tour," "No Reservations," "The Layover" and "Parts Unknown" — helped him garner success as a chef and writer. He died in 2018 (snip)
Other performing arts nominees include Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton, Oscar-winning director Brian De Palma, "All About Eve" actress Celeste Holm, 5th Dimension vocalist Marilyn McCoo, Oscar-winning actress Eva Marie Saint, American roots singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow, 1970s pop singer Tony Orlando and Grammy-winning Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh.
Leading the pack of public service nominees is First Lady Jill Biden, a Hammonton native who grew up in Willow Grove.

P.S. Where's Snookie??
Please keep control. I know a lot of us here are tearing up but she was only nominated so far. It is, well, so—— inspiring....😢😭
Paul may live in NY but he was born and raised in Overland Park, KS and visits often. You’ll see him at many Chiefs and Royals games.
Jill Biden who has stood idly by as Joe and Hunter and others of their family have engaged in incestuous sexual abuse of their family members…yeah she deserves to be in the New Jersey hall of fame for sure.
They left out Babysitter/slut, that’s the accomplishment that put her into the White House.
True. True.
Yeah, where is Snookie? Hasn’t she done more to elevate New Jersey than “Dr. Jill”?
She makes sure Joe has ice cream
The New Joysey Hall of Fame? ROTFLMO. What did the Mother Of All Breakfast Tacos do to get in? Give all the judges valentines? She’s a ditz. Perfect for the Joysey Hall of Fame.
“Dr.Jill,” deserves a nomination to the “Hall of Shame,” for her life of contributing to the pains of the Biden family, gy having an affair, marrying Slow Joe, and keeping his loss of his pitiful brain going on before the American public.
SHAME ON YOU, JILL!
You ain’t nothin but a she-dog and an embarrassment to NJ and USA.
And Artie....
