Tina Fey
Favorite Performance: Liz Lemon, ‘30 Rock’
The best actress on television at the moment. But don’t forget Baby Mama and Mean Girls.

Uh-oh
“Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich is heading to Burbank tomorrow to direct the voice talent for the film. Unkrich joked on twitter , “Flying to Burbank to direct Woody, Hamm, Mrs. Potato Head, and Slinky.”
Oh no!
Jim Varney is gone, therefore Slinky should be gone as well. Toys break! We’ll understand! We’re not six anymore. God, we were six when Toy Story came out. I...

Note: there’s no real criteria for entry onto the list… you just have to be up and coming and not otherwise...
