Rotten Tomatoes' 11th Annual Golden Tomato Awards

Take a look at Rotten Tomatoes' 11th Annual Golden Tomato Awards, which honors the best-reviewed movies of 2009. From the biggest Hollywood hits to the most provocative indies, Rotten Tomatoes honors the films that made critics sing their praises - and probably inspired you as well.

It was a huge year for blockbusters, with Avatar, the rebooted Star Trek, and Up thrilling audiences and critics alike. And as usual, the year saw an exceptional crop of documentaries, independents, and foreign gems, including An Education and Anvil! The Story of Anvil. Which films will take home a coveted Golden Tomato Award? Where do your favorites rank?

Here's how the Tomato Awards work:
• Limited releases are defined as opening in 500 or less theaters at initial release. Platform releases, movies initially released under 500 theaters but later receiving wider distribution, fall under this definition.

• Foreign releases are defined as non-English language films.

• Each critic from our discrete list gets one vote, all weighted equally.
