Paul McCartney received the Kennedy Center Honors award in Washington, D.C., today, along with four other honorees.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who hosted a dinner last night, welcomed the talent, including television talk show host Oprah Winfrey, dancer and choreographer Bill Jones, country singer Merle Haggard and Broadway composer Jerry Herman.

A surprise list of guests and musicians will perform for the honorees tonight. Entertainers already on the guest list include Steven Tyler, Gwen Stefani and Julia Roberts.

McCartney made an appearance at the celebratory dinner last night, held at the State Department.

Past winners include Bruce Springsteen, Brian Wilson, and Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey.

The event will be aired Dec. 28 at 9 p.m. on CBS.
