With a new year quickly approaching, we’re doing more than stocking up on Champagne and re-remembering the lyrics to “Auld Lang Syne.” We’re also stopping to reflect on the year that was: and what a year 2010 was for fashion, music, and film. Ke$ha convinced us to throw away our toothbrushes; Justin Bieber melted 12-year-old hearts worldwide; and James Franco managed to juggle about nine careers at once. They (and 15 others) deserve to be recognized for their efforts! And so, without further ado, we are proud to present: Interview’s Faces of 2010.

The Breakthrough Actor: Andrew Garfield

In two of 2010′s most prominent films, Andrew Garfield’s was the character you were left thinking about long after the film was over. Garfield starred first as Tommy, the tragic love interest to Carey Mulligan‘s Kathy, in Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s tearjerker novel Never Let Me Go. Then, in The Social Network, Garfield brought some much-needed humanity to Aaron Sorkin’s tale of the founding of Facebook in his role as young Brazilian billionaire Eduardo Saverin. Garfield, with his quiet, serious charm and his highly expressive face, turned quite a few heads this year-including that of director Mark Webb, who cast him as Peter Parker in the upcoming 3-D Spider-Man film.

Quotable in 2010: “I was also into gymnastics when I was younger. I remember having a horribly traumatic experience where this fat guy sat on my back while I was doing the splits, and I was looking for my mother in the group of mothers on the sidelines, but I couldn’t find her. I remember sitting there, watching all of these kids do cartwheels-it just looked terrible to me,” Garfield reminisced to Terry Gilliam in October.
