Here, at long last, are the best and worst of all 532 films I saw in 2011. I wanted a lot of diversity among the winners so there are no repeat films among the categories. In cases of a movie being frontrunner in two categories I had to judge which award a particular film deserved more then gave the other category to the runner up. But be assured that all of these films got what they deserve and deserve what they got.
Did I make any horrible mistakes? Am I right on? Let me know in the comments.
