Obama: Most Fascinating of 2008

Actor Will Smith, seen here at the premiere of his new film "Seven Pounds," is one of Barbara Walters' "Most Fascinating People of 2008." Each of the actor's last eight movies grossed more than $100 million.

Smith attributes that success to how much he cares about the audience. "I want to create things that make people feel good," he said, "A big part of it is the consideration of the audience."
