Power 50: Tim Cook

Once intensely private, Cook appeared last September on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to explain why he decided to discuss his personal life: "It became so clear to me that kids were getting basically discriminated against, kids were even being disclaimed by their own parents, and that I needed to do something." It wasn't product launches, but rather Apple's standoff with the FBI that has been the biggest risk of Cook's tenure. He decided the company wouldn't comply with a federal court order to help unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists, arguing that doing so could set a "dangerous precedent that threatens everyone's civil liberties."

A highlight of the latest season of her talk show (which has raked in dozens of Daytime Emmys) was when she confronted Caitlyn Jenner on the former Olympian's gay marriage views, an exchange that prompted a shift in Jenner's position. This summer, DeGeneres will reprise her popular voice role in the much-anticipated Disney/Pixar film Finding Dory. Keep Reading →

In this unpredictable year, MSNBC's Maddow has become the locus of all things politics during the network's wall-to-wall coverage. Her eponymous tentpole show focused laser-like on the Flint, Mich., lead-poisoned-water crisis, prompting national outrage, a Democratic primary debate in that beleaguered city, and a Michigan gubernatorial recall campaign.

Power 50: Anderson Cooper

Anderson Cooper

His political knowledge and finely tuned baloney detector helped him cut through the rancor among Republican presidential candidates, and parse the often-narrow policy divides among the Democrats. He anchors Anderson Cooper 360deg, and this year co-wrote the memoir The Rainbow Comes and Goes with his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Their relationship is the subject of the recent HBO film Nothing Left Unsaid by documentarian Liz Garbus. Keep Reading →

Power 50: Ryan Murphy

Is Murphy the new Aaron Spelling? At this point, it may be safe to say so. Keep Reading →
