AL ROKER
BREAKOUT STAR: Benedict Cumberbatch. "Benedict is the intelligent sex symbol. Let's face it, he Sherlock Holmes and a code breaker? Plus he battled Spock and Kirk. This guy does it all."
BEST SONG: Happy – Pharell. "After all this time you still never get tired of hearing the song. You would get a smile on your face and you feel yourself moving. I am still happy."
BEST DRESSED: Lupita Nyong'o. "Lupita is the epitome of style and grace. She looks great in anything she wears; from a simple black sheath to a more elegant gown on the red carpet."
NATALIE MORALES
BREAKOUT STAR: Chris Pratt. "Guardians of the Galaxy showed he is ready for superhero super stardom enough so that GQ named home their Man of the Year. It certainly has been his year.
BEST SONG: Happy – Pharrell. "Young or 'older,' his song made us all happy in 2014 and I still can't help but smile when I hear it."
BEST DRESSED: "Best dressed goes to Hollywood new It girl Amal Allamudin. Clearly she is the total package to have won over the heart of George Clooney.. But she also makes the ladies swoon with her classic sense of style with just the right amount of edge."
WILLIE GEIST
BREAKOUT STAR: Sam Smith. "What a soulful voice. We'll be singing his music for generations."
BEST SONG: Happy – Pharell. "Were there other songs this year?"
BEST DRESSED: Lupita Nyong'o. "You can't take your eyes off her on screen, on a red carpet, or on the cover of a magazine."
TAMRON HALL
BREAKOUT STAR: Sam Smith. "His voice has a gravitational pull. It draws you in and warms you up."
BEST SONG: Stay with Me – Sam Smith. "It got us all talking."
BEST DRESSED: Beyonce. "From her edgy look in the Flawless video to red carpet elegance, Bey steals the show without looking like she is trying."
