10. Take Shelter (58 points) 9. The Descendants (61 points) 8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (73 points) 6. The Artist and Melancholia (84 points) 5. A Separation (90 points) 4. Hugo (110 points) 3. Midnight in Paris (115...
Before we can wrap up all the goodies from 2011, let us remember some of the crap, so we’re that much more thankful for the good stuff. This category was wide open, but there were enough votes for these five to be “awarded” the Worst Films of 2011.

The fourth LION Award is for Best Supporting Actress. This is the most intriguing category I’ve tallied (so far), because of the massive support for three separate Jessica Chastain roles. How many made it or did she split the vote?
5. Jessica Chastain in The Tree of Life (39 points) 4. Shailene Woodley in The Descendants (46 points) 3. Jessica Chastain in The Help (50 points) 2....
