Why not Wong 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 39-year-old actress, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Wong 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 ‘Canadian Of The Year’ by some major Canadian newspapers and even ‘Scarborough Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Scarborough (Ellen Wong'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:
“Ellen Wong Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 18 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Ellen has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 18 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Ellen Wong?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 18 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Ellen Wong?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
