Established in 1951, the Woman of the Year award has been granted to many notable and talented entertainers, including Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan, and most recently, Anjelica Huston. The Man of the Year award was established in 1963. Its past recipients include Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins, Bruce Willis, and last year, Martin Scorsese.
