    Best Director: Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island
    Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island
    Best Actress: Noomi Rapace, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
    Best Supporting Actor: (tie) Pierce Brosnan, The Ghost Writer & Nicolas Cage, Kick-Ass
    Best Supporting Actress: Olivia Williams, The Ghost Writer
    Best Original Screenplay: Terribly Happy (technically 2006 but I saw it this year and haven't seen many other original screenplays so far this year)

  5. Indeed, though it's the type of film I'd hope doesn't make my year end top 10, if only because it would be a sad statement about the rest of 2010's releases...

  6. Shutter Island would definitely rank among my personal list of the year's worst, or at the very least most disappointing. So far I haven't seen anything amazing that isn't an international carryover from last year just making its way stateside, i.e. A Prophet, Fish Tank, etc. I guess if I had to hold a personal Oscars right now it would be (based on U.S. release):

    Best Picture - A Prophet
    Best Director - Jacques Audiard for A Prophet
    Best Actor - Tahar Rahim for A Prophet
    Best Actress - Katie Jarvis for Fish Tank
    Best Supporting Actor - Michael Fassbender for Fish Tank
    Best Supporting Actress - Patricia Clarkson for Shutter Island
    Best Original Screenplay - The Square
    Best Adapted Screenplay - The Ghost Writer

  10. Well, I agree that The Bounty Hunter and Wolfman are among the worse, and that Shutter Island and She's Out of my League are among the best, but I found Valentine's Day to be mediocre, Edge of Darkness to only be decent, and Remember Me to suck out loud. I haven't seen The Last Song or Dear John, but from the looks of it I'm not missing much...
