随着世界为2025年做准备，它留下了一年的战争、政治转变、流行文化时刻、体育胜利、失去的明星等等。
美国广播公司新闻频道(ABC News)在那里记录每一个时刻，并将在两小时的特别节目《2024年》(The Year: 2024)中回顾今年的决定性事件，该节目将于美国东部时间12月26日周四晚上9点播出，之后将在Hulu上播放。
主持特别节目的《早安美国》联合主持人罗宾·罗伯茨将与《今晚世界新闻》主持人兼执行主编大卫·穆尔、《早安美国》的迈克·斯特拉恩和劳拉·斯宾塞、《美国广播公司新闻直播》和《今晚世界新闻》周日主持人林西·戴维斯、《晚间热线》联合主持人朱珠·张、《20/20》联合主持人黛博拉·罗伯茨和美国广播公司新闻记者威尔·里夫一起主持。
特别节目还包括来自ABC新闻主播、记者和撰稿人的评论，包括ABC新闻的强大政治团队、《观点》的共同主持人等等。
这个特别节目现在已经是第14个年头了，还包括对埃尔顿·约翰、泰迪·弗斯、丽萨·安·沃尔特、伊洛娜·马赫和斯蒂芬·内多罗斯克等的采访。以下是专题报道中的一些话题。
困扰
泰勒·斯威夫特今年再次出现在我们的脑海中，她发布了新专辑“折磨诗人的部门”，并开始了她破纪录的时代之旅的另一段旅程。当副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯宣布竞选总统时，查莉XCX宣称“卡玛拉是个乳臭未干的孩子”,这也主宰了整个夏天。
除了年度音乐之外，特辑还展示了年度社会和时尚趋势，以及打破票房纪录的电影。
突发新闻
卡玛拉·哈里斯和唐纳德·特朗普争夺白宫的激烈竞争主导了2024年大部分时间的新闻。乔·拜登总统的辩论表现、对特朗普的暗杀企图、哈里斯取代拜登成为民主党提名人以及特朗普最终获胜都是值得关注的故事。
以色列和加沙之间可怕的持续战争延续到第二年，将伊朗和黎巴嫩真主党卷入其中。乌克兰战争也过去了1000天，乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，是时候与俄罗斯进行和平谈判了。
名人恋情
我做还是不做?特别节目还探讨了今年我们最喜爱的一些明星的爱情生活是如何演变的。珍妮弗·洛佩兹在与本·阿弗莱克结婚两年后提出离婚，结束了他们之间如火如荼的关系。娜塔莉·波特曼也和《黑天鹅》的编舞本杰明·米利派德分手12年了。
然而在名人关系方面也不全是坏消息——泰勒·斯威夫特和特拉维斯·凯尔斯的关系吸引了全世界，海莉和贾斯汀比伯有了一个男孩，“黄金单身汉”琼·瓦索斯和乔克·查普尔订婚了。
法律和正义
这位曾经和未来的总统并不是今年法庭上唯一的突出人物。美国广播公司新闻的专家探讨了音乐大亨肖恩“吹牛老爹”库姆斯对性交易和其他指控的无罪抗辩，梅嫩德斯兄弟臭名昭著的1989年谋杀案回到了法官面前，世界末日作家查德·戴贝尔因三重谋杀家人被判处死刑。
不能错过的时刻
你试过“与星共舞”病毒抬腿吗?这只是今年所有人都在谈论的时刻之一。其他时刻包括令人惊叹的日食，埃尔莫的推文引发了关于心理健康的讨论，以及一名女子在她的半卡车悬在肯塔基州克拉克纪念桥上后获救。
爆发的明星
演员格伦·鲍威尔在2024年的大部分时间都是聚光灯下的焦点，他在《除了你以外的任何人》、《杀手》和《龙卷风》中的表演赢得了好评在电视方面，安娜·萨瓦伊在Hulu的历史剧《幕府将军》中的表演为她赢得了艾美奖最佳女主角。联袂主演的真田广之获得最佳男主角奖，该剧获得最佳剧情片奖。
在音乐上，沙佩尔·罗恩让我们所有人都在粉红小马俱乐部跳舞，而塞布丽娜·卡彭特则让全世界渴望一杯(认证白金)浓缩咖啡。沙博兹还宣布在第五街附近的市中心有一个派对，并在此过程中获得了五项格莱美提名。
政治
在选举年，政治是许多谈话的中心。美国广播公司的记者关注共和党人唐纳德·特朗普如何克服法律困境和暗杀企图赢得第二个总统任期。
他的民主党对手、副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯可能有泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)和碧昂斯(Beyoncé)等超级明星的支持，但这不足以击败东山再起的川普。
人工智能
人工智能的兴起在2023年引发了恐惧，但在2024年，这项技术被集成到我们已经拥有的设备中——更新可能会将其添加到你的手机、笔记本电脑或智能家居中。
人工智能已经被用于无数方面，从分手短信到医疗探索，甚至无人驾驶汽车。ABC团队将深入研究所有这些问题。
作为纪念
今年，世界失去了一些闪亮的星星。美国广播公司新闻将庆祝玛吉·史密斯，特瑞·加尔，卡尔·韦瑟斯的生活和遗产。唐纳德·萨瑟兰，雪莉·杜瓦尔，詹姆斯·厄尔·琼斯，克里斯·克里斯托佛森，昆西·琼斯，利亚姆·佩恩等等。
冠军
2024年巴黎奥运会主宰了夏季体育。游泳运动员凯蒂·莱德基成为美国历史上最成功的女奥运选手，体操运动员西蒙·比尔斯在今年奥运会的其他重大成功中东山再起。
特别节目还突出了亨特·伍德霍尔和塔拉·戴维斯-伍德霍尔的成功故事，这对已婚夫妇获得了金牌，俘获了我们的心。
除了奥运会，堪萨斯城酋长队连续赢得超级碗，纽约自由队赢得了第一个冠军头衔，洛杉矶道奇队成为美国职业棒球大联盟的世界系列赛冠军。
ABC News' 'The Year: 2024' looks back at this year's major news and entertainment events
As the world gears up for 2025, it leaves behind a year of war, political shifts, pop culture moments, sporting triumphs, lost stars and more.
ABC News was there to chronicle every moment and will look back at this year's defining events in a two-hour special, "The Year: 2024," which airs Thursday, Dec. 26 at 9 p.m. ET, and streams afterwards on Hulu.
"Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts, who hosts the special, will be joined "World News Tonight" anchor and managing editor David Muir, "Good Morning America"'s Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer, "ABC News Live Prime" and "World News Tonight" Sunday anchor Linsey Davis, "Nightline" co-anchor Juju Chang, "20/20" co-anchor Deborah Roberts and ABC News correspondent Will Reeve.
The special also includes commentary from ABC News anchors, correspondents and contributors, including ABC News' powerhouse political team, co-hosts from "The View," and more.
The special, now in its 14th year, also includes interviews with Elton John, Teddy Swims, Lisa Ann Walter, Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik and more.Here's a taste of the topics featured in the special.
Obsessions
Taylor Swift was on our minds again this year, having released new album "Tortured Poet's Department" and embarked on another leg of her record-breaking Eras tour. Charli XCX also dominated the summer when she declared "Kamala is brat" as Vice President Kamala Harris announced her candidacy for president.
In addition to the music of the year, the special also features the social and fashion trends of the year, and the films breaking box office records.
Breaking News
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump's contentious race for the White House dominated the news for much of 2024. President Joe Biden's debate performance, the assassination attempt on Trump, and Harris replacing Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee and Trump's eventual victory were the stories to watch.
The horrific, ongoing war between Israel and Gaza stretched into its second year, drawing in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The war in Ukraine also passed 1,000 days, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy signaling it's time for peace talks with Russia.
Celebrity Romance
I do or I don't? The special also explores how the love lives of some of our favorite stars evolved this year. Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage, ending their kindled relationship. Natalie Portman also split from Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millipied after 12 years.
It wasn't all bad news on the celebrity relationship front though -- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship captivated the world, Hailey and Justin Bieber had a baby boy and "Golden Bachelorette" Joan Vassos got engaged to Chock Chapple.
Law& Justice
The once and future president wasn't the only prominent figure in court this year. ABC News' experts explore music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' not guilty plea on sex trafficking and other charges, the Menendez brothers' infamous 1989 murder case coming back in front of a judge and doomsday author Chad Daybell being sentenced to death for the triple murder of his family.
Can't Miss Moments
Did you try the "Dancing with the Stars" viral leg lift? This was just one of the moments that had everyone talking this year. Other moments include the stunning solar eclipse, the tweet from Elmo sparking a conversation on mental health and the woman rescued after her semi-truck was left dangling over the Clark Memorial Bridge in Kentucky.
Breakout Stars
Actor Glen Powell was in the spotlight for much of 2024, earning critical acclaim for his performances in "Anyone But You," "Hitman" and "Twisters." On the TV front, Anna Sawai's performance in Hulu's historical drama "Shogun" earned her a Lead Actress Emmy. Co-star Hiroyuki Sanada netted the Lead Actor award, while the series took the win for Outstanding Drama.
Musically, Chappell Roan got us all dancing at the Pink Pony Club, while Sabrina Carpenter had the world craving a (certified platinum) Espresso. Shaboozey also announced that there's a party downtown near 5th St., and got five Grammy nominations in the process.
Politics
In an election year, politics was at the center of many conversations. ABC's correspondents look at how Republican Donald Trump overcame legal woes and an assassination attempt to win a second presidential term.
His Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, may have had superstar celebrity endorsements from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, but it wasn't enough to beat a resurgent Trump.
AI
The rise of artificial intelligence inspired fear in 2023, but 2024 saw the tech being integrated into the devices that we already have -- the update likely added it into your phone, your laptop or your smart home.
AI has been used in myriad ways, from breakup texts to medical exploration and even driverless cars. The ABC team dives into them all.
In Memoriam
The world lost some of its shining stars this year. ABC News will celebrate the lives and legacies of Maggie Smith, Teri Garr, Carl Weathers. Donald Sutherland, Shelly Duvall, James Earl Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Quincy Jones, Liam Payne and more.
Champions
The 2024 Paris Olympics dominated sports over the summer. Swimmer Katie Ledecky became the most successful female Olympian in U.S. history and gymnast Simone Biles' launched a comeback amid the other major successes of this year's Games.
The special also highlights the triumphant story of the Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall, the married couple taking home gold and capturing our hearts.
Beyond the Olympics, the Kansas City Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls, the New York Liberty took home its first championship title and the LA Dodgers became Major League Baseball's World Series champions.
