Been quite a year tbh:

Best Movie: Inception (I saw it in 2010, not sure if it was an 09 release)
Worst Movie: Not sure.
Best Book: The New Machievelli - Jonathon Powell
Worst Book: Thought the second of the Millenium Trilogy was slow as.
Best Song: Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble;
Worst Song: Time of My Life - Blackeyed Peas. My ears bled;
Best Artist: Mackenzie Thorpe (ok he's a visual artist, but so what?);
Worst Artist: Ke$ha;
Best Moment: 14 May, about 12.30 - 1.00 pm;
Worst Moment: a tie between 19 May, about 3.00 pm and 5 December about 2.50 pm;
Best News story: Labor winning the federal election;
Worst News story: Haiti. Also found the WA police misuse of tasers appalling.

And even joking that GIMH > Pasag is dire. Smarten up ffs.

[Goughy]

Hmm, I have not seen any of the movies listed, heard any of the songs or read any of the books. I did hear something mentioned about Haiti though.

Zip your lips like a padlock

[Flyonthewall]

Best Film: Inception
Worst Film: Avatar (found it bland, formulaic and, what's worse, a total CGI-fest - didn't appeal at all)
Best Book: "Shadow Wave" by Robert Muchamore
Worst Book : None, haven't read any books this year that I didn't enjoy
Best Song: Percussion Gun by White Rabbits (shame about the rest of the album)
Worst Song: Far far too many to mention, but I reserve a special level of rage and disgust for the X Factor cover version of "Heroes". It should be criminalised.
Best Artist: The Fall (the new album really is sensationally good)
Worst Artist: Again, far far too many to mention - maybe Mumford and Sons if I had to pick one out - but it could be plenty of others.
Best Moment: Finding out my GCSE results, and seeing that I'd done really well. England winning the World Twenty20 and the Adelaide Test.
Worst Moment: My Grandad dying on August 27th. Sent me right back into depression, felt wretched for weeks after that - the guy was a genuine friend as well as a relative.
Best News Story: The Chilean Miners survival.
Worst News Story: The New Zealand Miners.

Best Song: Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble;
Worst Song: Time of My Life - Blackeyed Peas. My ears bled;

heh, not really a BEP fan but that's maybe my favourite song of theirs ever, whereas imo anything associated with that slimey mutha****** Mike Bubble is worse than poos
