TIME Magazine revealed this morning its short listed candidates for their 2012 Person of the Year Award. Apple CEO Tim Cook made the final list of eight total famous candidates from business, politics and science.

The reveal will take place tomorrow morning–here are the final eight:

  • Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani activist who was shot in the head by the Taliban for her crusade for better girls’ education
  • U.S. president Barack Obama
  • Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi
  • Bill and Hillary Clinton for their global humanitarian and political activism
  • Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo!
  • Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
  • the Higgs Boson — the particle of the year — and the three scientists who discovered it
Last year, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was nominated for the 2011 Person of the Year, but ‘The Protester’ ended up winning.
Who do you think should win the 2012 Person of the Year Award? Tim Cook?
