The Dorys 2009, or How here's the best according to me!

I started the Dorys (pronounced Door-ees, get it?) last year as a way to put in my two cents as to what the best films are in a given year (I mean, last year I just had to interject between all the SLUMDOG!! SLUMDOG IS THE ONLY FILM EVER MADE I LOVE IT OMG IT'S SO GOOD LET'S GIVE IT ALL THE AWARDS POSSIBLE! This year, with the guilds and the critics and the groups all relatively screaming the same names, I find it refreshing to throw my own thoughts out there (though as you'll see, there are names that crop up even here that have been seen elsewhere).

Remember, the Dorys include Oscar's Big 8 + Ensemble (I don't consider myself a great judge of tech stuff to make an informed decision). Enjoy!
