Why not Fonzi 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 47-year-old actress, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Fonzi 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 ‘Argentine Of The Year’ by some major Argentine newspapers and even ‘Buenos Aires Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Buenos Aires (Dolores Fonzi'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:
“Dolores Fonzi Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 28 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Dolores has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 28 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Dolores Fonzi?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 28 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Dolores Fonzi?
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?
