Why not Iñárritu for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 61-year-old director, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Iñárritu so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the director have already been named ‘Mexican Of The Year’ by some major Mexican newspapers and even ‘Mexico City Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Mexico City (Alejandro González Iñárritu's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the director was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Alejandro González Iñárritu Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Alejandro González has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Alejandro González Iñárritu?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Alejandro González Iñárritu?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
