For some reason, Vanity Fair includes me in its annual ranking of the 100 most influential people of the Information Age. Though I think its New Establishment order is a bunch of hooey. C’mon, Liberty Media’s John Malone (#10) above James Cameron (#36)? Still, it was an honor to be among only 8 women individually (not part of a group or couple) on a list so dominated by alpha males:
Thank You, Vanity Fair, From #93

Keep making enemies. That always works out well for everyone in the end.
It’s worked well for Brad Grey … so far. Love her or hate her, it is deserved. No one can dispute that.
Nikki, long time reader… but Enemy’s brining up a big ‘karma’ point for you.
The article starts by telling people about the caustic qualities of your blog. I know you take a great deal of pride in that, but it’s something to be weary of as well.
Start spinning the “journalist” title a little harder so you when the inevitable blow to your career comes, you can recover from it without having to superglue your reputation together in the process. From janitor to star, everyone takes a shot at some point.
You are a damned good reporter (you were THE front line during the last set of strikes). That means something. Let’s hope the next listing in Vanity fair talks about that part of your capabilties, instead of the negative ones.
Love it! Keep hittin ‘em in the kisser Nikki.
From one Nikki to another…you go girl!

You go girl! Congratulations!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!
Next year in top10
So happy for you. You are an inspiration!!
Congrats, but it’s time for you to get a new glamour shot taken. Seriously. You can afford it now.
You’re in my top 1 of the most influential people of the Information Age and James Cameron didn’t even make my list.
Keep telling it. Like it is
Congrats Nikki!
Nikki Fikke: Putting the fear of God into incompetent corporate Hollywood clusterf*cks everywhere.
To paraphrase a famous “Nikkism,” I come daily for the cynicism and stay around for the subversion.
Congrats, Nikki.
Shouldn’t Nolan have been on this list?
“You go girl!” – “Congrats!”
Listen to you pathetic kiss-asses. Understand one thing: this woman would throw all of you under a bus if it meant moving up to #92.
Congrats Nikki!! You are still one of the biggest reasons why I have given up on the “Trades” and as a result I feel better informed…..and entertained. This recognition is very much deserved and we all salute you for the great work that YOU and the ace Deadline TEAM generate.
Nik, you are an awesome chick!
you look mean Mrs.Finke.
Kudos to you!
Give’em hell, Nikki!
Bravo and well deserved.
Congrats its fun reading as well as infl.;
also;one of the all time fab names- Nikki!!!!!!
You hot little Jewess, you!
Rawk on………..
I think it’s plenty well deserved too! My only problem is the ranking. Then again it’s Vanity Fair and I always have a problem with their ranking meter. The lack of bullshit on this site is rare in such a kiss-ass Access Hollywood world. We need this. So rock on, Nikki!
Congrats. The site just keeps getting better. The addition of Fleming coupled with the Variety.com paywall has turned you into the industry standard.
Pretty incredible growth, and VF is probably the best recognition of it yet. Have fun at their party!
If you can’t make the VF party, you could send Tilda.
Been a reader since the start, congrats.
Congrats. Well deserved.
