What Culture: I think we can all agree this has been the year of Matthew McConaughey. The oft-ridiculed Texan (even Matt Damon has been at it) with an angular face, washboard abs and enough southern charm to fill a KFC outlet, has shown us all in 2012 that, yes, he can actually act. Chances are he’ll at least grab a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars next year for his role in Magic Mike.
