It's that time of year again. The special time right before Time announces their Person of the Year, the annual award given to whoever made the biggest impact on history that year, for better or for worse. 

On Monday, Time announced their shortlist and there are some pretty interesting choices on there. 

Already everyone has their picks. 

People are even rooting for candidates who aren't on the list, and some ideas sound more serious than others. 

The winner will be announced on Wednesday, so place your bets now.
