Jennifer Lawrence

She's Jennifer Lawrence. She starred in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "American Hustle." She's AP's Entertainer of the Year. She's been named one of Barbara Walters' 10 most fascinating people of 2013. She's publicly denounced sexualizing young Hollywood stars and fat-shaming on television. She's hilarious. She's basically the "It" girl of 2013, in terms of the film industry and the rest of Hollywood.

The face of Superman and Clark Kent, Henry Cavill (Twitter/@Hay_Lan17).

Henry Cavill

Superman, himself. Cavill, who starred in "The Tudors" a couple years back, jumped at the forefront of the film industry when he landed the most prominent role in "Man of Steel." With so much hype brewing about 2015's "Batman vs. Superman" movie (in which he's already been guaranteed as Clark Kent), Cavill won't soon be fading from sight.

Angelina Jolie

While she did not star in a movie this year, 2013 has been a big year for Jolie. After finding out she had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer, the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" actress underwent a double mastectomy to drop her risk level to under 5%. She then had breast reconstruction surgery. When Jolie went public about her operations, she was regarded as a hero. Her decision undoubtedly motivated other women to get screened for cancer.

Ryan Gosling

The Hemsworth brothers on the red carpet (Twitter/@ILoveChrisHems).

Not only was Hemsworth in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" alongside Jennifer Lawrence this year, he also deserves to be on this list for all he had to put up with in the spotlight. He and Miley Cyrus called off their engagement earlier this year, and he probably won't stop being asked about her for a long time to come. Any time Cyrus pulls some new stunt, count on interviews asking him for his opinion. And she's not quite done talking about the breakup, either. Poor Liam.

Imagine.

Matthew McConaughey

The Texas-born actor starred in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Dallas Buyers Club" this year. His role as Ron Woodruf in the latter was an especially demanding one. McConaughey had to lose about 50 pounds to portray Woodruf, an HIV-positive homophobe who fought the FDA in the 1980s and provided unlicensed drugs to the AIDS community. McConaughey proved he could tackle such a serious role.
