Some have applauded our rankings, others have said we must have come up with our list after smoking the contents of a Bali tourist’s body-board bag.

By what criteria do you rank the people who have made the biggest impact?

There are stars who make our 2011 list because they guided shows that managed to blitz their opposition in the ratings.

Others are in the rankings because they played a part in developing a new trend, impressed us with their smarts, or had a year that produced an impressive arc of career progress.

And let’s not forget those who should be feeling more than a little crimson-faced about their performances.

2. Melissa George
The Slap (ABC1)

Why she’s hot: Melissa George returned to Australia to make The Slap and immediately showed why she’s so sought-after.

Her performance as emotionally fractured mum Rosie, who presses charges after her child is slapped by another parent at a suburban barbecue, is extraordinary.

Prospects for 2012: George is on fire. She is to star in British espionage series Nemesis, appear opposite Julia Stiles in movie Between Us, and star in historical drama The Stolen.
