An annual tradition begins.
The guilds may have spoken (yelling quite loudly SLUMDOG!), the Oscars may have read out loud some names (BUTTON! SLUMDOG!NOT-BATMAN!), StinkyLulu gave out the Lulus, J.D. has the Chloes, Nat's working on the Film Bitch Awards and I figured: why not join the crowd and say what I thought was the best in film for the year? And so the Dorys (read: Door-ees, get it?) were born.

nice picks, especially wall-e and revolutionary road, which I thought was heavily underrated.
Wonderful picks.
Yay, I'm glad you've decided to jump on the bandwagon! I hate to sound like an echo, but I love your choices- even if we don't exactly see eye to eye on Revolutionary Road ;). The Portman nomination is especially delightful...she gave an ingenious performance in The Other Boleyn Girl and it makes me sad that few people realized it.
Aw, thanks you guys!
I tried to keep 'em interesting, and I was surprised how well they ended up showcasing the films I found interesting and exciting this past year without being all 'oscar curmudgeon-ey' :D
Oh G-d I just love the "I've Loved You so Long" love!
This was such a great film and Angelina over Kristin at the Oscars was insulting!
I'm liking the Dorys so far.
