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!
