The Hollywood Reporter’s list of the most powerful women in the entertainment industry is a complete joke.

The list hit my e-mail inbox Wednesday morning, and I clicked it instantly. I had to find out where all my favorite people ranked. It took me virtually no time at all to realize the list was garbage. (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)

How do I know the list is garbage? That’s really simple. Lena Dunham is featured but certified smokes Emilia Clarke and Emma Watson are not. (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)

THR wrote the following glowing comments about Dunham:

By 32, Dunham had already written, directed and starred in groundbreaking projects for film (Tiny Furniture) and TV (HBO’s Girls), to say nothing of penning books, hosting podcasts and launching a publishing imprint. But now the lightning rod, who can set off the news cycle with a single Instagram post, is starting anew with a solo deal at HBO and a string of other projects, including a J.J. Abrams- and Steven Spielberg-produced film that she’s writing about a Syrian refugee.

Here’s my live reaction to that gibberish.

Any list about the most important women in Hollywood that doesn’t include Watson or Clarke is a list without an ounce of legitimacy. Congrats to Dunham because she can do a podcast. I’m pretty sure Emma Watson was in the biggest franchise of my generation at like the age of eight. “Harry Potter” is more impressive than anything Dunham has ever put her fingers on. (SLIDESHOW: 71 Times Samantha Hoopes Stripped Down)

As for Clarke, have you guys ever heard of that little show “Game of Thrones” on HBO? I’m pretty sure she’s the most badass character on the whole show. (SLIDESHOW: This Blonde Bombshell Might Be The Hottest Model On The Internet)

I guess changing television forever just isn’t enough these days to land you on THR’s garbage list of women. (SLIDESHOW: 60 Times Abigail Ratchford Wore Almost Nothing)

Finally — and this is important — there might not be a better example of women who are absolute smokes combined with elite talent. There are plenty of talentless models in Hollywood. More than I could count if I were given a month. There are plenty of very talented people who aren’t smokes.

These two are actually grade-A talents in each.

Do better, THR. Do much better.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
