Best Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight: pretty much stole the movie and gave us one of the best villains of all time. Runner-up: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Doubt
Best Supporting Actress - Marisa Tomei, The Wrestler: apparently Marisa Tomei also has a thing for overweight past their prime wrestlers, I kid, she does a great job portraying a past her prime stripper. Runner-up: Amy Adams, Doubt
Best Actor - Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler: back from the dead Rourke gives a fantastic portrayal of a wrestler searching for an identity after his best days are behind him. Runner-up: Daniel Craig, Defiance
Best Actress - Kate Winslett, Revolutionary Road: Winslett gives a haunting performance of woman trapped in a loveless marriage who will do anything to escape her mundane life. Runner-up: Merryl Streep, Doubt
Best Director - Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight: Nolan transforms Chicago into Gotham and paints a city and its inhabitants on the verge of chaos. Runner-up: Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Best Screenplay - Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight: Nolan had help from his brother, I forget his name, but Nolan should be rewarded for not only The Dark Knight but also Batman Begins. Nolan delicately pieced together a story where Batman, the Joker, and other villains could realistically exist. Runner-up: Justin Haythe, Revolutionary Road
Best Costume/Makeup Design - Tropic Thunder: Whoever did the makeup for Robert Downey Jr. should never have to work again. Runner-up: The Dark Knight
Best Special Effects - Wanted: Wanted was simply insane. From the car chase in Chicago to the European train scene, the effects were out of control. Runner-up: Iron Man
Best Picture - The Dark Knight: For me a great movie should do three thing; entertain you, make you think, and have a point. The Dark Knight did all of these and more. Runner-up: Slumdog Millionaire

I'm sorry to do this Tom, but seriously, what were you thinking when posting this?
It looks like you saw 4 movies and deemed them all the best movies of the year. Yes, I liked the Dark Knight, but Best Screenplay? Are you retarded? Seriously!
I just can't wait for the Oscars to see how different their opinions are from yours. However, if Dark Knight wins best screen play, I PROMISE I will clean the entire apartment. No Joke. Luckily I won't have to worry about that.
The Academy = Old Jewish people hellbent on pushing their liberal values and thinking on Joe Moviegoer. I honestly think I could write some crap about Jewish Holocaust survivors hunting down ex fill in the blank german/natzi/arab and it would get green-lit.
Me = Young, smart, and open to choosing super hero movies as a best picture.
just curious, how many of these movies did you actually see tom?
Tom,
When did you become a homosexual? Next time something like this happens, please let me know.
I saw all of these movies in addition to Frost/Nixon, Benjamin Button, and The Reader. My neighbor is in the WGA and was kind enough to drop off what turned out to be a murder's row of movies, last year we got Juno, No Country, and There Will be Blood.
Also Tim, how am I gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
