Calista Flockhart among finalists for TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year?

Why not Flockhart 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 60-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Flockhart 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 ‘Freeport Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Freeport (Calista Flockhart'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:

“Calista Flockhart Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Dec 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveCalista”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Calista Flockhart?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Calista Flockhart?

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?
