Oprah vs. Angelina: Who's Got the Power?

Hollywood's latest power couple could also be one of its oddest.

Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie (Oprangelina?) have come out tops in a pair of the Hollywood Reporter's annual Y-chromosome-deficient countdowns: the Power 100 list of Hollywood's most influential women and the roundup of the top-banking actresses, respectively.

The kingmaker's (or, more accurately, president-maker's) nonshocking placement at No. 1 is based on "her dizzying array of Oprah-branded media and her immense cultural influence…[she] might just be the most influential woman in America."

The only thing she doesn't have, it seems, is box-office pull, with Brad Pitt's other half outranking fellow top-tier leading ladies Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon by commanding $15 million per picture. Her 2008 films, boosted in large part by Kung Fu Panda, grossed nearly $1 billion.

Those spreads on the French Riviera aren't going to pay for themselves.

Jolie landed at No. 24 on the Power List, where she and Winfrey were joined by budding moguls Tyra Banks (No. 36), Tina Fey (No. 51), Rachael Ray (No. 65) and Miley Cyrus (No. 100).
