According to a well-placed source, Tom McCarthy is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the director's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 23/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not McCarthy 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 58-year-old director, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes McCarthy 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 director have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘New Providence Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in New Providence (Tom McCarthy's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the director was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Tom McCarthy Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 22 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Tom has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Tom McCarthy?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Tom McCarthy?
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?
