Among all the great entertainment in 2008 [1], a few people clearly stood out, including the beautiful and funny Elizabeth Banks. Why was this year good for Elizabeth Banks? Because she was everywhere.

The woman was in six — count 'em, six! — movies that were released this year. Some were ridiculous and silly (Meet Dave [2] with Eddie Murphy, Meet Bill [3] with Aaron Eckhart, Role Models [4] with Paul Rudd) while one was ridiculous and raunchy (Zack and Miri Make a Porno [5] alongside Seth Rogen). She got to be in the sweet movie Definitely, Maybe [6] with Ryan Reynolds, and she did a serious Laura Bush impersonation, with Josh Brolin as her George, in Oliver Stone's W. [7] And in just a few weeks we'll see her play a freaky stepmother in the scary movie The Uninvited [8].

She's got range and beauty and crazy comedic skills, and I wish every year could bring us this much Elizabeth Banks.
