| I've only seen 56 2009 releases and that doesn't include much of the year end bait. Those I've seen that I rated a 4 or a 5 in my movie log are:
 State of Play
 Up
 The Hangover
 In the Loop
 Ponyo
 District 9
 Inglourious Basterds
 The Informant
 Zombieland
 Precious
 The Fantastic Mr. Fox
 Up in the Air

 Wouldn't really consider them all Best Picture candidates since some of those are "good for the kind of movie they are" ratings (District 9) or mostly remarkable for a performance or two (In the Loop, Inglourious Basterds).
 
 But so far it has been a decent year at the movies that I've rather liked almost 25% of what I've seen outside the house.
