Why not Morgan 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 40-year-old actor, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Morgan 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 actor have already been named ‘Irish Of The Year’ by some major Irish newspapers and even ‘Armagh Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Armagh (Colin Morgan's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the actor was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Colin Morgan Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 1 Jan 2026

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveColin”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 1 Jan 2026

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Colin Morgan?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 1 Jan 2026

Could 2026 officially be the Year of Colin Morgan?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2026?
