Hmm...I agree on a lot of your 'bests', with the following exceptions:
Best Sushi: Have to go with Mikuni. Sure it's trendy, but since it's so popular, the turnover means the fish is always fresh.
Best TV Anchor: Cristina Mendonsa
Sexiest Woman Alive: Too tough to call. Hard to find one that has it all, face, body, brains, class, maturity and sense of humor. I think I'd have to go with Jessica Biel or Selma Hayek.
