Why not Argento 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 45-year-old actress, as a 2020 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Argento 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 ‘Italian Of The Year’ by some major Italian newspapers and even ‘Rome Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Rome (Asia Argento'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:
“#ArgentoPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Asia has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 19 Sep 2020
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Asia Argento?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 19 Sep 2020
Could 2020 officially be the Year of Asia Argento?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2020 Person of the Year.
