For the 14th consecutive year, the folks at Time Magazine have once again passed me over when considering their annual roster of the world's 100 Most Influential People. Heretics! So be it — even an incomplete list is worth visiting judgment upon. Let's check out (and rank, naturally) the film personalities included this year. And to my publicist: You're fired!
10. Chelsea Handler*
9. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
8. Asghar Farhadi
7. Claire Danes
6. Jessica Chastain
5. Viola Davis
4. Kristen Wiig
3. Louis C.K.
2. Tilda Swinton
1. Harvey Weinstein
As for the rest of the list? I defer to Harvey.
*: As long as Chelsea Handler makes terrible ethnic jokes at mainstream movie junkets, she will be a film personality. And the least-influential to boot.
