How Did Women Pilot Writers Fare For 2012?
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:
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

Congrats on a job well done # 93. Continue to tell it right and first!!
If they put you higher, they’d piss off a lot of people you’ve pissed off. If they left you off, they’d piss off you…which would be far worse.
Congrats, your truth is painful but necessary in this town.
A sincere congratulations to you for your esteemed recognition for a job well done. Top 100 and soon Top 10, for sure. I raise my glass and toast to Ms. Leader for a superb site and keeping us up with everything.
“For some reason, Vanity Fair includes me in its annual ranking of the 100 most influential people of the Information Age.”
“For some reason”….
Nikki – We all know that you’re an influential figure in this arena, even those of us that refuse to admit it. You break stories that other publications have difficulty with for whatever reasons – but feigning modesty in search of more praise is probably one of the most obnoxious things a person can do. You’re great at your job, and have set up something very impressive in a relatively short amount of time. Kudos to you and congrats on making the list, but try not be so shitty about it.
I think you’re much higher up the list than 93rd. Even Ari (and he’s fictitious) wouldn’t be scared of you at #93…..
Felicidades Nikki.
You work it, girl!
BS. Another stupid worthless list and egotrip for Nikki.
Nikki, when I first started reading DEADLINE I was repulsed. After
a while I thought “hmmmmm”. Now, whenver someone calls DEADLINE a
blog I say “No it isn’t. It’s a website. A a darn good one!”
Congratulations…and keep fighting the good fight.
You’re uglier than I thought.
Wow. I’m stunned that paramecium can compose thoughts…..
JJ…. whatever happened to good comportment? Why don’t you post a photo of yourself and let me be the judge? I bet you are an ugly, cellulite-riddled mess living in your mom’s basement.
Chill. And don’t hate on Nikki. It just reveals the poor character shining underneath. If you have nothing nice to say, well, you KNOW the rest….
Nope. Suspiciously left out. TOLDJA!!
huh. I woulda guessed you to be brunette – now I need to reevaluate everything i thought i knew
Well done Nikki. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations
As a frequent poster on your site, I kind of feel like we ALL won this spot together.
+ 1 on that Benny F.
yeah, i hear you benny f., except nikki gets paid for it genius… but you gotta love her. congrats nikki.
Seconded.
Seriously, you look like a Hitchcock-era villainess in that b&w shot.
But CONGRATS on the recognition. It is certainly well-deserved.
hottie
Not to take away from the kudos, but does VF actually matter anymore, and does any list in a magazine? Not feeling the specialness, alas.
Just ignore the jealous jailbird freaks posting looks; this is about WORK.
For single handedly rendering THR and Variety so banal, I often forget to read them, you are the definition of the power of new media. This town will be forever marked by B.D. (before Deadline) and A.D (after Deadline). Well done, well deserved. Keep ‘em honest.
We love you Nikki! You are the Alpha Female of Hollywood.
Well deserved. Congratulations.
Love it. Congratts!
#93 is Barcelona’s prefix number and now the place in which Nikki stands as one of the most influential people. Greetings and Kudos from Spain señorita!!
Michael Blomqvist in female form -:) congrats Nikki
It’s a great and deserved honor indeed, Nikki. And I am so grateful they included your oh-so-appropriate description of Jeff Zucker as a “kiss-ass incompetent.” Congratulations!
