Welcome to RT’s 13th Annual Golden Tomato Awards, in which we honor the best-reviewed movies of 2011. From the biggest Hollywood hits to the most provocative indies, we’ve got the films that won the critics’ hearts — and probably inspired you as well.
It was another wild and wonderful year for cinephiles, as we collectively bade farewell to the Harry Potter franchise while offering a hearty “welcome back” to The Muppets. In addition, we delighted at the antics of stat geeks (Moneyball) and jealous frenemies (Bridesmaids). Over at the arthouse, we empathized with a down-on-his-luck silent movie star (The Artist) and an anthropomorphized chimp (Project Nim). Which films will take home the coveted Golden Tomato Awards? Where do your favorites rank? And which of these flicks took home the User Tomato award, decided by you, the RT faithful? Read on to find out!
