Radcliffe, Pitt among 2011's top entertainers

"This year, it seemed pretty clear that it was Daniel Radcliffe," Cagle said. "Between 'Potter' and Broadway, he's the one who surprised us the most and got us most excited."

In the issue, celebrities write about the entertainers on the list. But how are those celebrities chosen?

Entertainment Weekly, Cagle explained, looked for a personal or professional connection.

"We asked Meryl Streep to write about Viola Davis because they're both great actresses in the forefront of the Oscar race. And even though Meryl and Viola are competitors, Meryl couldn't wait to say nice things about the very talented and popular Viola Davis," Cagle said.

"We asked Steve Carell to write about Ryan Gosling because they costarred in one of our favorite movies this year, 'Crazy Stupid Love.' In a couple of instances, we invited celebs to write just because they were fans: Julia Roberts loves Adele; Sandra Bullock loves 'South Park' and 'Book of Mormon,' so we asked her to write about Trey Parker and Matt Stone."

Cagle also shared thoughts on each of the entertainers on the list:

Entertainer of the Year: Daniel Radcliffe

No one has ever had a year like him: a billion-dollar blockbuster and a Broadway show. Radcliffe starred in the finale of the biggest movie franchise in history (nearly $8 billion in global box office), he spent 11 months learning to dance so he could star in Broadway's "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (and he was great in it) and he also found time to shoot another film -- a thriller called "Woman in Black," which opens in February. Despite wealth and fame at an early age, he's never fallen into the teen-star trap. He has shown that he's humble, curious and dedicated to the craft of acting, and he has made a point of learning all he can from great actors (like Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman during the 'Potter' films) and directors, and challenging himself whether it's in a Broadway musical or 'Equus,' which he did on stage a few years ago. This means he's got a bright future: He's interested in learning and growing, that's the key to longevity.

Adele:

When picking Entertainer of the Year, it was actually hard to choose between Adele and Radcliffe. Adele had the top-selling album of the year and as a singer, she touches her audience more deeply than any other singer today. Julia Roberts in her essay pointed out that people have a deep personal connection to Adele. It's because Adele puts so much of her soul into her music, we really feel like we know her.

Brad Pitt:

He had two very interesting movies this year: "Tree of Life" and "Moneyball." While neither was designed to be a huge commercial hit, both movies were critically-hailed artistic accomplishments from one of this generation's finest and most interesting actors. I think this year the conversation moved away a bit from his personal life, and toward his career, which, artistically, reached a new peak.

Daniel Radcliffe: The Ultimate Scream!

Daniel Radcliffe proudly accepts the Ultimate Scream Award via satellite from New York City during the Scream 2011 Awards on Saturday evening (October 15).

Recorded the night before, the 22-year-old actor thanked fans on stage.

“This is amazing. Really, thank you guys so so much,” Daniel started out. “I’ve had the most incredible ten years of my life on Harry Potter. I had such an amazing time; I want to thank - first of all, all of you for coming; second of all, everyone who watched the films over the ten years and who supported us, and everyone who voted around the world, not just for me, but for the film. It’s been the year of the longest goodbye in the world and it is a very very sad thing, but we just had the most amazing, amazing time. So, thank you so much for this, this is crazy.”

Total awards won by the HP franchise: The Ultimate Scream, Best Scream-Play, Best Fantasy Actor, Best Villain (Ralph Fiennes), Best F/X and Holy Sh** Scene of the Year.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart To Attend 2011 Comic Con?

Breaking Dawn actors and real life couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are set to nerd it up this weekend in San Diego, at the 2011 Comic Con!

Reportedly, the couple will appear at the convention with a team of bodyguards, in an effort to promote the first part of Breaking Dawn.

An insider said, “Rob and Kristen must have something like twenty bodyguards. They expect mass hysteria wherever they go but Comic Con is the center for fanboys and girls. They risk being swamped by fans but special measures are being put in place.”

I bet they’re going to be mobbed! Are you going to Comic Con this year? Are you excited to see Rob and Kristen, in the flesh? Let us know what you think in the comments!
