Oprah, Spike Lee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lil Jon and More Stars at the 2024 DNC

After July's Republican National Convention attracted such luminaries as Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Amber Rose, this year's Democratic National Convention is drawing arguably bigger stars like Oprah, Spike Lee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Stevie Wonder.

This year's DNC, celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris' historic presidential nomination, was hosted by Tony Goldwyn, Ana Navarro, Mindy Kaling and Kerry Washington, with each star emceeing one night of the event. The four-day convention featured performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Patti LaBelle and other major musicians; surprise appearances by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, who gave a speech urging those who are registered as independent like herself to vote; a daytime panel moderated by Julia Louis-Dreyfus; and more.
