We lost a lot of talented people this year.

To focus our remembrances on just 10 people is, well, hard, but as we celebrate the lives and contributions of actors, writers, directors, musicians, behind-the-scenes folks and one or two "regular" people, we want to take a moment to also acknowledge that for each public loss there is a more potently felt private, personal loss felt by their loved ones and family.

In the end, though, this is a celebration of life. So, let's party!
