And the 2011 Golden Schmoes winners are…!!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

As in previous years, it was the film with the most nominations
(DRIVE had the most noms this year with 15) that ended up with the most
wins at the Golden Schmoes this year, as Nicolas Winding Refn’s film won
the biggest award for “Favorite Movie”, while he personally also
won for “Best Director”. The film ultimately ended up with the
most wins from any film this year, which was 6 including “Best Actor”
for Ryan Gosling (who also won for “Favorite Celebrity” of the
year, btw), “Coolest Character” for The Driver in the
film (aka Gosling again), as well as “Best Music” and “Most
Memorable Scene in a movie” (c’mon…you must remember what it is!).

Unlike previous years where one film will dominate the
Golden Schmoes (see table below), it was an overall mix of different films
winning this year, which is what I personally prefer anyway (I think it’s
kinda boring to vote for the same movie in every single category).

MOST WINS @ GOLDEN
SCHMOES (All-Time):

The other three big winners this year were David Fincher’s
latest entitlted THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, which won
3 different categories including “Best Actress” for Rooney Mara,
as well as “Best Music” and “Best Trailer”. Fincher
always wins something in the Golden Schmoes! It’s interesting to
note that Fincher himself was the runner-up to Mr. Refn for “Best
Director” this year.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES surprised
many people this past summer and continued to surprise at our awards as it
also picked up 3 wins including (you guessed it!) “Biggest Surprise”,
as well as “Best Special Effects” (natch!) and Andy Serkis’ 2nd
win as “Best Supporting Actor” for playing a CGI character in a
movie. He also won in
2002 for his portrayal of the loveable Gollum.

 Lastly, but not leastly, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
also managed to surprise a lot of people this year (especially after the
Ratner-ization of the X-MEN series with THE LAST STAND), as it finished
only a few votes shy of RISE OF THE APES for “Biggest Surprise” but also
finished as the runner-up for “Favorite Movie” of the year! Pretty
impressive. But even though it didn’t win those two categories, it did
manage to snag “Best Sci-Fi” movie of the year, “Breakthrough
Performance” for Michael Fassbender’s portrayal of Magneto (also the
runner-up for “Coolest Character”) and the “Best Line” of the
year delivered by the great Wolverine: “Go f*ck yourself.”

Unfortunately for other films like SUPER 8 (7
nominations), MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL (6 nominations) and BBRIDESMAIDS
(6 nominations), there wasn’t much left over for them as SUPER 8
got completely shut out (although Elle Fanning finished a close runner-up
as “Best Supporting Actress”), MI4 took home the obvious award for them
for “Best Action Sequence” because Tom Cruise was awesome
climbing that uber-tall building in Dubai, while BRIDESMAIDS
did end up with 2 awards including “Best Comedy” (although it
also finished runner-up for “Most Overrated” film of the year) and Melissa
McCarthy’s awesome performance as “Best Supporting Actress”.

Also, I thought it was poetic justice for Kirsten Wiig to
finish in 2nd place for “Best Actress” (always the bridesmaid, never the
bride…hehe). You can see the full
