Merry Christmas Eve everyone. My roommates and I opened our presents early because one of our roommates will be in Tennessee later today. Talk about lots of candy. I think I did pretty well with what I got. It was a fun night and then we ended up playing a game called “Smart Ass,” which was also fun.
Yesterday, the Associated Press released there person of the year in entertainment. For the first time in a long time, I agree with there choice, Tina Fey.
The annual honor chosen by newspaper editors and broadcast producers across the country for the entertainer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008.
Runner-up was Robert Downey Jr., mainly for his comeback with the blockbuster movie “Iron Man,” and the third-place went to Heath Ledger, who played the Joker in “The Dark Knight” before he died.
I think Fey deserved the award, not only for returning to Satuday Night Live with one of the best impressions of Gov. Sarah Palin ot any polititian for that matter. It was mostly because of her performance that Palin herself eventually went on the show.
In 2008, Fey also starred for the first time on the big screen in “Baby Mama” (which grossed $60 million and one of my favorite movies of the year) and won three Emmys for her her NBC sitcom “30 Rock,” which she created, stars in and writes.
Recently, she was also nominated for a Golden Globe (for best performance by an actress in a TV series, comedy or musical), as well as a SAG Award.
Last year’s AP Entertainer of the Year also went to a comedian whose satire blended in with politics: Stephen Colbert.
