59. Ava DuVernay

Her Netflix series When They See Us collected 16 Emmy nominations and rewrote the story of the Central Park jogger case in the public consciousness. Other 2019 wins for DuVernay, who has a major voice on Hollywood issues of gender parity and inclusion: Signing on to produce and direct DC's DMZ for HBO Max (part of her $100 million deal with Warner Bros.

She's also casting the first show she'll personally write since Scandal days: Inventing Anna, based on the viral New York magazine story of fraudster Anna Delvey.

Her multiyear deal with Apple kicked off with the September launch of the new Apple-fied version of commerce-driving Oprah's Book Club.
