Is Herzi's "Passion Index" the highest for film/actor/scene? It's seems startlingly high - nearly twenty points.

Almost. Technically, the highest average in terms of points per vote was for the "Rachel bathes Kym" scene, but that was just two people so let's ignore it. Otherwise, here are the top five across all categories:

19.83: Elles alfresco, Scene
19.55: Hafsia Herzi, Supporting Actress
18.69: Charlie Kaufman, Screenplay
17.25: Lance Hammer, Director
17.13: Carlos Reygadas, Director
