Why not Capaldi 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 66-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Capaldi 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 ‘Scot Of The Year’ by some major Scottish newspapers and even ‘Glasgow Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Glasgow (Peter Capaldi'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:
“#CapaldiPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Peter has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Peter Capaldi?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Peter Capaldi?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
