Stephanie Brummell, editorial assistant

Ice-T from "Law and Order: SVU"
Or, "Captain Obvious" as I like to call him.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens
For making it too easy to be considered a "good" actor. I'm convinced that anyone, yes, even myself, is a better candidate for any award over this girl. Well, maybe not "best form of torture." All she has to do is open her mouth and "sing."

My Existent or Non-existent Rehab Counselor
Because if, as a celebrity, I wasn't already in rehab, I'm sure I'll be there some day. I can't resist peer pressure.

Joedy Felts, Richmond.com New Media Designer
For making it so easy for me to laugh ... at him. Oh, and for introducing me to my new "lova," Super G.

Banrock Station Wine
For making it deliciously easy and cheap to drink away my sorrows when my movies hit below the $25 million mark. Oh, woe is me!  

Karri Peifer, arts and entertainment writer

My unborn children
Because if I'd already had them I wouldn't have been able to focus on my career. So thank you, hypothetical children, for not existing.

The TV show "Jericho"
For inspiring me to do better.

My boyfriend
Because he's my rock … and my bankroll.

My mumma
She's the wind beneath my wings … and, you know, the original bankroll.

Brian Dillon
I just couldn't have accomplished anything without Richmond.com's Senior New Media Designer. Plus, I'm trying to see whether or not he actually reads our site.

Josh Katz, movie reviewer

Martin Scorsese
Even if my movie has no connection whatsoever to Scorsese, I'm thanking him. No classier way to beg for work than by butt-kissing on live television, I tell ya.

My High School Physical Education Teachers
For instilling me with such loathing of the physical arts, a hatred that spurred me toward more creative pastures and is now netting me more money in a year than they'll ever see in their lives. No more public showers ever again!

God
Without whom nothing is possible. At least, that's what every basketball player who's ever accepted an MVP award has led me to believe.

L. Ron Hubbard
Because if you're gonna self-destruct, you do it big time.

All the Girls I've Loved Before
Especially the ones who dumped me, forcing me to mine my pain into fame and fortune. That could have been you sitting next to me on Oscar Night. Shame I'm "just a friend," though, huh?

David Hylton, editor

Simon Cowell
Because he's British and tells it like it is. He helps me be a better human being.

My editorial horse in the Richmond.com basement
Because everyone needs fresh glue every once in a while. Without it, my day would drag on and on.

Magic Hat
Thank you for being my beer of choice this year. Refreshing, smooth and much better than so-call "light" (or "lite") beverages.

Barack Obama
Because I like the words "hope" and "change." I'm not endorsing him (yet), but in my whole adult life I've never felt more proud to be an American. Oh wait, someone else already said that this week. Words. They're just words.
