GQ 'Men of the Year'

(Nov. 17) -- When GQ unveils their 'Men of the Year' annually, lots of Hollywood hunks and other in-the-spotlight men are left upset when they're snubbed. This year, in a PopEater/GQ exclusive, we're proud to give you this year's winners: Leonardo DiCaprio, Barack Obama, Jon Hamm and Michael Phelps.

Barack Obama: It should be obvious to anyone why Barack Obama is on this list. The magnitude of what he achieved by becoming the 44th President of the United States is still setting in nationwide, and now he even has a GQ cover to make his 2008 even more successful.

Leonardo DiCaprio: Leonardo DiCaprio's turn in the upcoming 'Revolutionary Road' may very well earn him an Oscar, making him the actor to watch this winter. 'Road' pairs him once again with his 'Titanic' love, Kate Winslet, of whom DiCaprio said he now shares "a different level of intimacy" with. "That's just something that comes with age and experience. After all, we were barely 20, 21 years old in 'Titanic,'" he said of working with Winslet.

Michael Phelps: The king of the 2008 Olympics is probably used to being on magazine covers like Sports Illustrated or even Men's Health. But a style magazine like GQ is likely a first ... mainly because he's known for posing with as little clothing as possible to show off his impossibly chiseled physique. He even shows his competitive side to GQ, telling them: "I just don't like to lose -- not in swimming, not in Monopoly -- ever."

Jon Hamm: The Emmy-winning breakout star of 'Mad Men' knows exactly how lucky he is to have landed his once-in-a-lifetime role. "Look, I know I hit the jackpot here. I found this role that sits well on me. I've managed to become successful without any taint of compromise. I get to share it with my girl. I get how lucky I am," he boasts to GQ.

i'm quite disappointed with the list too! the academy award winning leonardo cicaprio and the emmy award winning john hamm didn't made much of a headline this year. so i don't see any reason for them to be on the list. and the more i got disappointed when no footballer made it on the list! aww!

does anyone can really admire Leonardo DiCaprio?? with his ugly bird-like face? He always remainds me some silly sparrow..never can take him seriously.. In despite of his sparrow-like face i have to admit he is not too bad actor...'specially these his couple of movies, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "Aviator" are great..
