The day has finally come! I hope you've enjoyed this week's countdown of the 100 People of the Year -- believe it or not, I've been compiling this list for eight years now. The first top 100 (back in 2000) had Angelina Jolie in the top spot. While she certainly dominated gossip headlines in '08, she doesn't make the cut here. (Interestingly, though, my No. 3 person of 2000 is my No. 2 person this year. James Marsters, Beck and Aimee Mann also appeared on the 2000 list and resurfaced in '08!)

But enough silly stats. Let's get on with the show, and please leave your feedback in the comments. If you're unsatisfied with the top pick, who should've been No. 1?

Previously:

- Nos. 20-39 of the Top People of 2008
- Nos. 40-59
- Nos. 60-79
- Nos. 80-100

20. Rob Pattinson. His glistening skin distracted millions of teen girls this year, and it's safe to say the Twilight franchise will transform the actor into a superstar. Even if the sequel bites, Pattinson's hair is a box-office cash machine.

19. Jason Segel. This year the actor came into his own by writing and starring in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, demonstrating his musical chops, continuing his sweet gig on How I Met Your Mother and even planning a Muppet movie. If he's taking requests, I'd like an extra helping of Floyd and Swedish Chef, please.

18. Wall-E. OK, so he's not exactly a person. But it was hard not to connect with the star of Pixar's hit film, even though he barely spoke and inhabited a universe full of futuristic blobs. Come on, how could anyone resist those wistful, metal eyes?

17. Nelsan Ellis. As gay, drug-dealing chef Lafayette on HBO's True Blood, he's the show's most complex and compelling character. (He's also one of the few actors on the series who doesn't speak with a mangled Southern accent, so he gets extra points there.)

16. Jessica Lea Mayfield. The young singer-songwriter's debut, With Blasphemy So Heartfelt, was one of my favorite records of the year. This is only the beginning for the performer, and I'm anxious to hear what comes next.

15. Seth Rogen. The curly-haired funnyman continued his Hollywood reign with pot and porn in Pineapple Express and Zack and Miri. Next up: a role in the new Judd Apatow flick, which certainly can't hurt a guy's career.

14. Ed Westwick. Everyone wastes time talking about the ladies of Gossip Girl when we know the real star is conniving playboy Chuck Bass, played to perfection by Westwick. Meet the new James Spader ... this one just happens to have been born the same year Less Than Zero was released.

13. Amy Poehler. The comedian had one of her best years on Saturday Night Live -- and she did it while pregnant. She also landed a role on the new series from The Office's producers, launched an empowering web series for girls, starred in Baby Mama, created/voiced a cool cartoon called The Mighty B! ... the list goes on. And, oh yeah, she eventually had that kid, too. Congrats.

12. Dev Patel. Slumdog Millionaire doesn't sound like the title of a hit film, but the winning combo of a great story and stellar cast has moved filmgoers around the world. It's hard to imagine the flick without Patel's performance as lovestruck and determined Jamal. (He also appeared in the racy BBC series Skins, which comes to DVD in January.)

11. Stephen Colbert. Can the Colbert Nation grow any stronger? Apparently, it can, and this year the host thrived with hilarious election coverage, a fake presidential bid, a heavily promoted holiday special, a comic-book appearance alongside Spider-Man, an Emmy and more.

10. Ron Moore. Battlestar Galactica's executive producer should prepare to break fans' hearts with the final episode, though the first half of his final season offered enough surprises to tide us over. On the bright side, he doesn't plan to stop working after the show ends, so expect much more must-see sci-fi to come.

9. Tunde Adebimpe. The multi-talented musician should be very proud of himself this year for a) releasing the critically acclaimed Dear Science with his band, TV on the Radio; and b) delivering a sweet, touching performance in Rachel Getting Married. Yes, that's right: The guy made one of the year's best albums and best movies. I think that merits some sort of trophy, or at least a gift certificate.

8. Fleet Foxes. One minute, the Seattle band was releasing a little self-titled EP and playing relatively intimate shows. The next, I'm seeing their debut CD at Starbucks. What catapulted them into the spotlight? Beautiful harmonies, top-shelf musicianship and the ability to create something so special at live performances, I've characterized them as spiritual experiences.

7. J.J. Abrams. The producer/director/writer embraces risks, and this year most paid off. His new series, Fringe, earned critical praise and a full-season pickup. The Cloverfield intrigue translated into box-office earnings. His updated Star Trek (slated for 2009) has fanboys buzzing. And then there's Lost, which had one of its best seasons. Without him, what the heck would I talk about at parties?

6. Jon Hamm. Each episode of Mad Men seems to expose a new side of Don Draper, and Hamm brings the ad exec to life. I'm equal parts confused by, attracted to and repulsed by the character ... and I love every second of it.

5. Vampire Weekend. No band exploded faster than this one, dubbed "the year's best" by Spin ... in March. Their self-titled debut reached everyone from indie fans to baby boomers, proving that skill and a unique sound still goes a long way.

4. Neil Patrick Harris. There was no time for Doogie jokes this year -- the actor was way too busy with How I Met Your Mother, another Harold & Kumar and (of course) the massively popular Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, in which he carried a tune (and a Freeze Ray). Barney Stinson may be a womanizing "bro," but lately Harris has made him a more three-dimensional ladies' man. To be honest, no I care more about his future than Ted's mysterious "mother."

3. Heath Ledger. The year began with the actor's tragic death. However, he leaves a legacy of great work, including his haunting, funny and surprising performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight. His talent and spirit won't be forgotten.

2. Robert Downey Jr. There's no doubt this actor is the comeback king, but his greatest return happened in '08 with the mighty Iron Man. (To watch Downey Jr. soar through the air was magical, if only because we've known how low he has been before.) He followed the heroic part with another blockbuster, Tropic Thunder, and upcoming projects include Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man 2. The man is back, and it's a pleasure to see him in action.

And the No. 1 person of 2008 is ...

1. Tina Fey. Honestly, who else could it be? Tina was everywhere this year, and for good reason: She racked up Emmys and praise for 30 Rock, graced the big screen in Baby Mama and dominated headlines with hilarious Saturday Night Live appearances. She writes, she acts, she makes us laugh. In these tough times, isn't that pretty much all we can ask for? This was her year, and she should enjoy it ... for, like, a couple days. Then I hope she gets back to work.

Thanks again for checking out this year's list -- I look forward to seeing your comments.
