Tony Hayward makes it to the list of famous personalities of 2010 because of the worst reason possible- the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. We saw not only how he had a part to play in the disaster, how he downplayed it, how little he did to rectify the damage while being paid large amounts of money for his position.
