Simply The Best

Oh yeah! It's the cream of the crop. It's the best of the best. GQ has officially announced their Men of the Year for 2013 and it's so good. My future-husband-in-another-life Justin Timberlake holds the honor of "#Hashtag of the Year" I guess because he's so awesome you can't put him in just one category. Hit songs, a hot tour, and lots of new projects. Keep giving us more, baby. All hail Justin! Lyrical slayer Kendrick Lamar is one of the cover stars earning the title "Rapper of the Year". He totally deserves it. After that diss verse on Big Sean's Control, Kendrick solidified his rightful place on the throne of hip hop. Who else made the cut for GQ's list?

Aaaah Matthew McConaughey. This Texas gent holds the title "Leading Man of the Year". He's charming, handsome, and adds a certain likability to the characters he portrays on screen. You can imagine throwing back beers and playing the bongos naked with each and every one of them.

We lost a great man this year when James Gandolfini passed away. He was not only an actor and producer, but a husband, father and an influential man. His portrayal as Tony Soprano in the HBO series The Sopranos is forever etched in television history. Upon hearing of Gandolfini's death, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston posted this on Twitter: "I'm saddened by James Gandolfini's passing. He was quite a talent and I owe him. Quite simply, without Tony Soprano there is no Walter White."

As if this is any surprise. Introducing GQ's "Funnyman of the Year" Will Ferrell. This guy doesn't even have to say anything and I bust out laughing. And when he does open his mouth... hilarious jibberish. Will Ferrell nails it every time. Ricky Bobby, Chazz Michael Michaels, Ron Burgundy. I can't freaking wait for Anchorman 2!

This is the 18th annual edition of these honors. I have no idea how GQ decides who's top dog, but I like the magazine's picks. Obviously I would've given Pharrell "Coolest Man of the Year" award, but no one asked my opinion. I would've also added other categories like "Most Likely to Steal Your Girlfriend But You Don't Mind" and "Most Fashionable of the Year" which would both go to Tom Ford because he's just so sexy.

Sound off: Did GQ leave someone off the list? Who's your man of the year for 2013?
