The Most Overexposed Celebrity of 2013

Miley Cyrus, of course. It was Miley's M.O. this year to give us a bevy of things to talk about, and talk we did. Essays were written about her music videos, open letters were written about her twerking, and her lolling tongue was all over the place. Miley's worked hard for this award, so give her around of applause, everyone! Okay Miley, can you at least put your tongue in your mouth to accept the award?

The Most Played Out YouTube Trend of 2013

By far, the Harlem Shake. People made Harlem Shake videos everywhere: in the office, in the military, in the locker room, in the firehouse, in their bedrooms. But weirdly enough, few of these people actually knew how to dance the Harlem Shake.

The Celebrity Most Posed for a Comeback in 2014

Amanda Bynes had a rough year. Her meltdown played out publicly over Twitter, but she was also all anyone talked about for the better part of the summer. Bynes is in mental treatment right now, but when she gets out, she'll hopefully remind us why we loved her so much in She's The Man.

The Sexiest Man of 2013

People may have overlooked Gosling in favor of Adam Levine, but it was hard not to notice Gosling this year, with his being a Tumblr feminist and supporting animal rights and all. They may not have seen you, Ryan, but we do. Oh, we do.

In Memoriam

Cory Monteith's death came as a shock to everyone: his coworkers, his fans, and a generation of kids who had never seen one of their idols die so young. It was a loss that Glee may never fully recover from, but hopefully they'll emerge from this tragedy as a stronger, but different, show and cast.

The Most Shocking TV Moment of 2013

The Red Wedding on Game of Thrones was the biggest source of pain for TV watchers and the biggest source of enjoyment for book readers. Those who only watched the show came to know just how ruthless George R.R. Martin is as a storyteller, and those who had read the books got to videotape their friends freaking out. Fun and nightmares were had by all.

The Binge-Watching Breakout of 2013

Orange is the New Black wasn't Netflix's first foray into original content, and it wasn't even its most anticipated show. But the dramedy about a women's prison appealed to a mass audience and showcased the reality of the prison system as well as the reality of LGBT relationships. Now all we can do is wait impatiently for Season 2...

The Pop Prodigy of 2013

Who would've thought that a 16-year-old would stage a takeover on pop music? Love her or hate her, Lorde is a strong performer with strong opinions, and "Royals" was this year's unexpected hit. Expect even bigger things from her in 2014.

The Best Finale of 2013

Breaking Bad was a show with an impressive audience and heaps of critical acclaim. So of course, there were weeks of theorizing and analyzing the show before the series finale. We'd say more about the show's final episode, but we don't want to spoil it for the three people who haven't watched it yet.

The Most Fabulous TV Wardrobe of 2013

The show is almost three years old at this point, but 2013 seemed like the year that people got seriously addicted to Scandal. And why wouldn't they? For all the drama, don't you kind of want to be Olivia Pope? The wine, the crisp white wardrobe, the drop-dead gorgeous coats — she's the most fabulous fixer around.

The Hottest Baby of 2013

Prince George was born in 2013, and everyone was all over that baby. He had merchandise, he had creepy dolls made in his image, and he had everyone freaking out over Kate Middleton's figure. That baby is a trendsetter if there ever was one, so Suri Cruise better watch out.

The Most Maimed Dance of 2013

Twerking was already a cultural phenomenon, but then Miley Cyrus blew the lid of the whole damn thing. Soon, people were twerking everywhere — grandmas twerked, people twerked as pranks, and Miley twerked all over the Internet. The worst part? Hardly any of these people knew what twerking even was. New twerking rule: If you must twerk, at least watch a Big Freedia video before you get to twerk.

The Worst Song of 2013

We thought we had reached the zenith of terrible tween songs in the age of "Friday." Then "Chinese Food" came along, and we all learned just how wrong we were.

The Most Public Couple of 2013

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got engaged in 2013, and we had to see it all: their overblown proposal, their cute baby, Kim's weird Instagram sext of her butt, their simulated sex in the "Bound 2" video. But hey, who knows? Maybe these two crazy narcissists can make it through 2014.

America's 2013 Sweetheart

Jennifer Lawrence could do no wrong in 2013. She's funny, she gorgeous, she's just like us, and oh yeah, she also kicks ass and wins awards. America's love for J-Law is eternal, and the Hunger Games trilogy will only make it strong. Watch out, 2014, J-Law is coming for you.
