3. TINA FEY
It takes a certain self-confidence to play a woman who accidentally dates her third cousin, erroneously assumes her neighbor is a terrorist, and gets called the C-word by a colleague (especially when said character is based on you). ''I love going to those uncomfortable places,'' says Fey, who stars as 30 Rock's workaholic TV maven and is also the NBC show's creator and exec producer. ''I'll go down any weird avenue.'' Maybe 2008's surprise Emmy win for best comedy will empower Fey to pursue some dreams for her alter ego. ''Liz Lemon could do an international adoption for a Russian baby and get the paperwork wrong with the European dates and somehow end up with a huge, muscular 13-year-old. Yeah, I could see that.'' Hopefully we will too.
