Chris Colfer, Scott Rudin, et al. Named 2011's Most Influential People

Time magazine has just announced their complete list of 2011's Most Influential People. The list is comprised of 'artists and activists, reformers and researchers, heads of state and captains of industry. Their ideas spark dialogue and dissent and sometimes even revolution.'

This year's list included theatre veterans Colin Firth, Scott Rudin, Chris Colfer, Matt Damon, Amy Poeler, and more. Also making the list were Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Barack and Michelle Obama. 

In recent years Time has assembled an annual list of the 100 most influential people of the year. Originally, they had made a list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. These issues usually have the front cover filled with pictures of people from the list and devote a substantial amount of space within the magazine to the 100 articles about each person on the list. There have, in some cases, been over 100 people, when two people have made the list together, sharing one spot.
