Michael Lynton 
CEO, Sony Entertainment
Turns out people are still willing to pay money to watch films in a theater. For evidence, see Sony’s Skyfall, which has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide in the last few months. That’s good news for Michael Lynton, but the head of Sony’s film and music units has lots of challenges on his plate. Among his newest priorities: Trying to kick- start the new “4K” digital format for ultra-high-definition TVs, a job that involves both creating and distributing titles in the new format.
