The nominations are in!  (Nobody nominated AVATAR, probably because it came out too late).  So which will be the winner?  My vote goes to THE HURT LOCKER; my prediction is that UP will be the board favorite (although I think it will be in a close race with DISTRICT 9).

Zombieland because of the goofiness of it
yeah no.

voted for the hurt locker   :thumbup:   up was cute but I just didnt enjoy it as much as pixar's other movies. Its my least favorite after cars. 
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far~ ruminations

I only saw District 9 and Zombieland.  I'll give a slight edge to District 9.

Definitely Up.  If this movie didn't touch you on some emotional level, then I have to wonder if you have a soul.

I think you forgot to vote because UP is still sitting there at 0%.

Having a soul  :wink:, I liked UP a lot.  Definitely in my top 5 for the year, but not my #1 choice.

Well, that was easy. "Up" is the only movie on the list that I saw last year. Hopefully, 2010 will be (IMHO) a better year for films, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Guess I'm going with Inglorious Basterds, since its the only 2009 movie I saw.

What about Star Trek?

No one nominated it; I guess people had forgotten about it by the time nominations rolled around?

It wouldn't make my top 10 movies of the year, but I thought it was above average and it was quite the crowd pleaser at the time.  A lot of people fawned over it when it came out but I guess they forgot about it soon after.

HURT LOCKER.  Riveting.  BASTERDS is a close 2nd.
