What you're missing is a loop to test for more than one eleven. Here's a suggestion:

def get_hand_value(*args):

	hand_total = sum (args)
	total_elevens = args.count (11)
	while total_elevens > 0 and hand_total > 21 :
		total_elevens -= 1
		hand_total -= 10
	if hand_total  < 21 :
		return "The value of your hand is {0}".format(hand_total)
	elif hand_total > 21 :
		return "Busted!"
	else:
		return "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!"
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
# While testing the execution of your program, I will use the hands below:
hand_1 = get_hand_value(4,4,4,4)
hand_2 = get_hand_value(11,10)
hand_3 = get_hand_value(11,5,6,4,11,4)
hand_4 = get_hand_value(11,5,6,10)
hand_5 = get_hand_value(10,5,7)
hand_6 = get_hand_value(5,6,5,10)
hand_7 = get_hand_value(10,11)
hand_8 = get_hand_value(11,11,11,11,10,10)
hand_9 = get_hand_value(5,6,5,5)
 
print(hand_1)
print(hand_2)
print(hand_3)
print(hand_4)
print(hand_5)
print(hand_6)
print(hand_7)
print(hand_8)
print(hand_9)

Output:
The value of your hand is 16
