As 2007 draws to a close, and Vulture’s editors begin their New Year’s celebrations ten days early, we look back on a year filled with triumph, tragedy, and all things in between. Sure, the writers went on strike, The Golden Compass failed to turn America’s children into atheists, and we never found out if Tony Soprano got whacked, but somehow we managed to stay entertained (and, we hope, entertaining). We’ll be back on December 31, but before we go, we celebrate a few of Vulture’s greatest hits.
