The Time 100 is an annual list designating the 100 most influential people in the world. In its online presentation, Time introduced the list as follows: "In our annual TIME 100 issue we name the people who most affect our world".[1] The overall list was organized with 4 main sublists: Leaders, featuring Sarah Palin and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; Heroes, featuring Chief Master Sergeant Tony Travis and Bill Clinton; Artists, featuring Conan O'Brian and Lady Gaga; and Thinkers, featuring Steve Jobs and Zaha Hadid.[1] The list included 10 Indians.[2] Oprah Winfrey continued her streak of having been included on every Time 100 list and was one of thirty-one women on the list. The list included many expected names and some surprises such as Scott Brown, who The Huffington Post described as a premature selection at that point in his career.[3] Others who were considered surprising selections included Elton John, Ashton Kutcher and Taylor Swift, according to the Daily Mail.[4] The announcement of the list was celebrated by a black tie gala at the Time Warner Center in New York City on May 4, 2010.[5] The list was published the following day.[4] Time readers contributed to the selection by an online vote of over 200 finalists.[6]
