Best of 2011
PEOPLE
PERSON OF THE YEAR
1. Elizabeth Olsen
“I think it’s just staying grounded. It’s not something I think about. I think it’s something media puts upon people. I don’t think it’s something that people healthily think about, like, ‘Now I’m a celebrity!’ I don’t think people should think like that. I hope that whatever press comes about from Sundance will further the films’ hope for getting distribution.”
2. Harry Potter cast
3. Community cast
4. Karen Gillan
MOVIES
MOVIE OF THE YEAR
"Elizabeth Olsen, in a breakthrough performance that establishes her as a presence notable for far more than being the younger sister of those "Full House" twins, plays the harrowed title character, whose sense of identity is as confused as the tongue-twisting title on the marquee suggests." - Huffington Post
TELEVISION (SOME NEW TO ME)
TELEVISION SHOW OF THE YEAR
"The truth is, pretty much every time Miranda turns and looks at the camera, I burst out laughing. And even when her slapstick is so obvious it wouldn't confuse a small child. I still laugh. Even when I'm trying not to. Even when I really, really don't want to." - Chris Harvey
FAVORITE SHIPS
FAVORITE SHIP ON TELEVISION
"I think what it is between Jess and Nick is they're just really keeping tabs on each other, I think Nick would have to be in love with her for so long that it would have to be like a gas tank overflowing. But I don't think right now Nick would have the guts to do it." - Nick Johnson
BOOKS
BOOK OF THE YEAR
"In a sweeping narrative reminiscent of the epic classic Dr. Zhivago comes a love story that takes place in war-torn Russia during World War II. Named for a statue in Red Square, The Bronze Horseman is a perfect blend of romance, suspense, and intrigue, guaranteed to transport readers to another place and time." - B&N
MUSIC
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
"21 is simply stunning. After only a handful of plays, it feels like you’ve always known it. It will see Adele become an even greater award magnet come the end of the year, leaving her contemporaries for dust. Genuinely brilliant." - BBC

When the chancellor's daughter goes missing, you are sent to investigate her disappearance." - BigFishGames
