Barack Obama
He won an election. Can your fave say the same?! While handling affairs here and abroad, he also inspired about a gajillion memes. Surely, he's proud of that fact.
Zooey Deschanel
She remained adorkable as always, but reigned some of the quirkiness in to really hit her stride on New Girl. Meanwhile, she had some of the best nail art in Hollywood.
Ben Affleck
He cemented himself as a surefire Oscar contender with Argo, which he both directed and starred in, and, personally, welcomed a son to the ever-growing Affleck-Garner brood.
Claire Danes
She swept the Emmys' drama categories along with her Homeland costars, earning a Best Actress in a Drama award for herself. Meanwhile, her ugly cry remains on point.
Amanda Bynes
She managed to out-LiLo even Lindsay Lohan with her cross country, headline-grabbing antics. Cars, public bathrooms and paparazzi, you have been warned.
Chris Hemsworth
He kicked some serious bad guy butt across two franchises: Taking on aliens as the viking god Thor in The Avengers and fairy tale foes in Snow White and the Huntsman.
Nicki Minaj
She took her empire from music (releasing an album and EP) to TV (an E! special and American Idol) and frangrances too! And not once did any of her wigs look anything short of flawless.
Jon Hamm
He might have been shutout at the Emmys (again), but he was the night's best looking loser. Would you expect anything else from Mad Men's dashing Don Draper?
Frank Ocean
He had everyone talking when he dropped an R&B bombshell about his sexuality (even Beyoncé wrote him a letter!) and released a masterpiece of an album, Channel Orange.
Madonna
She found time to release an album (MDNA), go on a world tour and perform at the Super Bowl on breaks from her full time job: Apparently starting feuds with...everyone.
Jessica Biel
She dabbled in sci-fi action adventure with Total Recall then switched over to real life drama to star in Hitchcock, all before marrying longtime love Justin Timberlake.
