Mere days separate us from 2012. Entertainment Weekly sums up the best and worst of what celebs put out in 2011.
It was the best of movies, and it was the worst of music in 2011, at least according to Entertainment Weekly. The magazine has released its annual “Best and Worst of 2011″ issue, and in the midst of awards season, this is one “it” list celebs will have mixed feelings about.
Critics and columnists for the popular entertainment magazine are weighing in on which TV shows, films, albums, books, and even Broadway shows have had the most impact this year–for better or for worse. Besides a critical look at the massive or lackluster appeal of this year’s pop culture, Entertainment Weekly is also reminiscing over the stories that garnered the most attention for the entertainment industry.
From Charlie Sheen to Rebecca Black’s 15 minutes of TGI-”Friday” fame, and Oprah’s daytime farewell to Harry Potter’s record-breaking box office take, no Hollywood story is safe from scrutiny. Which more than explains the decision to feature scathing Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais in the special issue.
Aside from salutes to outstanding performances in film (and Golden Globe nominees too!) like Viola Davis from “The Help” and Rooney Mara from the anti-feel-good holiday movie, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” you can also read about celebs in their own words. Tony Bennett is talking about his duet with the late Amy Winehouse, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is giving kudos to juicing fitness great Jack LaLanne.
What were your favorite pop culture and entertainment moments of the year? Worst? And the real question: On which list would you put “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1″?
