Amy Schumer: comedian, writer, actor, model, aunt, daughter, walker, swimmer (maybe?). THE LIST GOES ON. It's clear that she's a woman of many talents, and this year she also became basically everyone's hero. This is why.
1. Because she was without a doubt this year's — no, this century's — champion of prank sexts:
2. Because she was refreshingly honest about the true plight of being a woman:
3. Because she crashed this Game of Thrones cast pic and actually lived to tell the tale.
4. Because she worked it hard on top of a piano while dancing to Billy Joel.
And it was inspirational.
Uptown girls
5. Because this confession made us all feel a bit better about our own dating lives:
6. Because she was woman enough to admit she is Magda.
7. Because she is unapologetically real...
8. ...always.
9. Because she proved to be a necessary addition to any engagement photo:
10. Because she made a valiant effort to impress the paparazzi, even if in the end it was fruitless.
#roadmanager and I wore ball gowns to walk to work the day they didn't snap us. Damn it!
11. Because she kept it real AF with Selena Gomez:
12. Because she turned the tables on the press and started asking them serious questions for once:
13. Because it turns out she reacts probably exactly how we'd react in the presence of Meryl Streep:
14. Because she did not take any crap from this interviewer:
15. Because she was honest about her smoky eye:
16. And speaking of makeup, because of this whole beautiful song:
17. Because she made Kanye West and Kim Kardashian very uncomfortable for a few seconds...
18. ...and then gave a pretty wonderful reason for why she did it in the first place:
19. Because she responded to this photo set and caption with perfection.
(Singing) who's that girl?!!!
20. Because she bared almost all in this stunning portrait and it was perfect:
Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you @annieleibovitz
21. And because she made out with Tina Fey in front of a shit ton of people. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is someone I call a hero.
