City News Service reports that the ceremony, which is scheduled for 11:30 this morning, will include speeches from Jason Segel, Lisa Henson (Jim Henson's oldest daughter), and Walt Disney Studios President Rich Ross.
Coincidentally, "The Muppets" is also becoming available on DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Download and On-Demand today.
