The Entertainer Of The Year Award Goes To…
Filed under: Media Minute > Tina Fey
With 2009 soon approaching us, publications are busy releasing their best and worst of 2008.
Even the Associated Press has their Entertainer of the Year award.
That award is chosen by broadcast producers and newscast editors across the country. And coming in at the top of the list is former Saturday Night Live actress Tina Fey.
The award is given to those that have had "the greatest impact on culture and entertainment."
One entertainment editor from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said, "Tina Fey is such an obvious choice. She gave us funny when we really needed it and, in a year when women in politics were making huge strides, Fey stood out in the world of entertainment."
Coming in at second place was Robert Downey Jr. And with his recent comeback hit with Iron Man he definitely deserved to be on the list.
The third place spot went to Heath Ledger for his amazing portrayl of the Joker in The Dark Knight.
But it was definitely Tina's year.
She had her comeback cameos on SNL playing Sarah Palin. She starred in this years' Baby Mama which grossed over $60 million. And she even won THREE Emmys for her sitcom 30 Rock.
Let's hope she does even better next year. She's moving on up!

Last star,
Thank you for your concern.
This is actually a very happy time for me.
I do admit I am horrified by the hostility and hatred I've encountered here from some posters. I suspect they are very sick people.
Shes a wonderful actress…CONGRATS AND MERRY XMAS!!
Oh my God! She looks like a young Sigourney Weaver in that picture.
All those kudos…for Tina Fey?? In other years on SNL except this one, when she was head writer, the show wasn't a wow. And a bit of an odd commentary that above all actresses/comediennes/humanitarians who changed the world…she was numero uno? Odd.
2008 was quite a year, GREED and NASTINESS took the front page. But I am hoping that we all turn over a new leaf and stop worshipping greed and nastiness. OH YEAH, I think TINA FEY is as greedy and nasty as they come.
Re: LettyB WISHES YOU A MERRY X-MAS! – Merry Xmas Letty and to all!!!
