1. Un Prophete / A Prophet
2. Anvil: The Story of Avil
3. Adventureland
4. The Hurt Locker
5 An Education

Honorable Mention: Moon, Zombieland, Drag Me to Hell Paranormal Activity, Mystery Team, Up, Inglourious Basterds, Land of the Lost, Lymelife, The White Ribbon, The Invention of Lying (The romantic back half of the film keeps this from being a classic along the works of movies like Groundhog Day)

Best Director: Jacques Audiard, Un Prophete; Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
Best Picture, Foreign Film, and Documentary are self-explanatory from my list.

In retrospect, I'd like to change my Best Actor winner to Favre for his acting job in needing two guys to help him limp off the field after his first pick yesterday, only to trot out limp free on his next possession.
Invention of lying sux. I've come to the conclusion that Ricky Gervais can't write good movies.
