I do think that my inability to finish this could be chalked up to the subpar year that was 2009. It wasn't the worst year I've rated, but I really had to stretch in order to fill out even a top 20. There was way too much mediocre for me to sift through. We are talking damn near half the year circled around 5-7 stars. And most of those 7 star movies I was being generous. On top of that, I don't even feel compelled to see all the nominated movies and performances this time around.

Well, there's always 2010...
