Why not Woodard 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 72-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Woodard so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Tulsa Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Tulsa (Alfre Woodard's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Alfre Woodard Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Alfre has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Alfre Woodard?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Alfre Woodard?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
