My top five best movies of 2009 (alphabetical):
Antichrist
Avatar
Inglourious Basterds
The Road
Watchmen
The winner: Inglourious Basterds.
If there was ever a year when Postmodern film needed to produce a legitimate hero, it was 2009. At the moment of history when cinema needed him, Tarantino stepped forward and delivered exactly the movie that needed to be made. I wasn't sure when I saw it, but I am now. It's the year's best film.
It should win the Oscar in my book, and Harvey Weinstein says it will, so I'll make that my prediction too.
QT FTW

A Single Man
A Serious Man
The Hurt Locker
Stillet Licht
Actor of the Year: Robert Downey Jr., over George Clooney
