There’s just something about Benedicts. It might be the way the name turns your tongue into a snake when you whisper it out loud: “Ben-e-dict.” Or the way their presence makes you feel so fancy. Benedicts were everywhere this year and more than one touched us in a special place. Here is a rundown of the hottest Benedicts of 2013:
Benedict Cumberbatch
CucumberPackage starred in 27 of the top 30 films containing a Benedict this year! This Benedict deserves an Oscar or at least a thank you fruit basket for getting us through what could have been a very Benedict-less 2013.
