I thought I'd round off the list with the worst movie of 2009: The Invention of Lying.
Of course, seeing how I can't see all movies that are released or listen to all songs that are released, I'm sure there are some real gems that have been omitted from this list. Care to add on? Just leave a comment.

2009 Pop Culture in a Nutshell
2009 was a very interesting year, filled with pop culture to top off the decade. From a middle-aged British woman becoming an Internet singing sensation overnight to Stefani Germanotta (better known as Lady Gaga) taking the world by storm with her outlandish fashion to the first black president for the US to the unforgettable, televised incidents at the VMAs and the AMAs, it's been quite a crazy 12 months.
2009 was, in essence, the year of celebrity deaths, break-ups, and babies; Twitter; very public faux pas; Lady Gaga; history; and so much more.
Now let me sum up 2009 for you.
Beyonce made an awesome video for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), in which she wears this sort of mechanical glove on her left hand, that involves her and two other female dancers in black leotards dancing around in a white room. I've seen so many spoofs and parodies of this video on Youtube. The most disturbing one, though, goes to Joe Jonas.
Susan Boyle became an overnight international Internet singing sensation when she sang I Dreamed a Dream on Britain's Got Talent. Who ever thought such a beautiful voice could have came from her mouth?
If you don't have a Facebook or Twitter account by now, then you must not exist.
Kanye West became the most hated man in America by all teenage girls when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs and said, "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." What really ices the cake is Beyonce received the award for Video of the Year later during the show and then allowed Taylor to come back on stage to give her speech.
Lady Gaga became the first singer whose debut album (The Fame) had four #1 singles: Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, and Paparazzi. Originally scheduled to tour with Kanye this fall/winter in the Fame Kills Tour, she is currently headlining her own tour called The Monster Ball. She also shocked pretty much everyone with her choice of fashion this year, from the Kermit dress to the blood-soaked Paparazzi performance to what has been dubbed "The Bird's Nest".
Blake Lively's hairstyle became the new "Jennifer".
Brittany Murphy is the latest celebrity to die this year. Others include Beatrice Arthur, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcet, Henry Gibson, Jett Travolta, Les Paul, Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, Steve McNair, and Umaga.
Several sequels were released this year: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Halloween II, and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, as well as many other blockbusters: Avatar, 2012, Where the Wild Things Are, Sherlock Holmes, Monsters Vs. Aliens, and Watchmen.
One of the most shocking moments of 2009 happened when the winner of this season of American Idol was announed: Kris Allen. The runner-up, Adam Lambert, did a little shocking of his own during his performance of For Your Entertainment at the AMAs.
Celebs who called it quits on their relationship or marriage: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo, Jon and Kate Gosselin, Mel Gibson and Robin Moore, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, Holly Madison and Criss Angel, Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, and Katy Perry and Travis McCoy.
On a happier note, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga, Tim and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Molly Ringwald and Panio Gianopoulos, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons, David and Jordon Grohl, Kimberly Williams and Brad Paisley, Josh and Yessica Holloway, Tim Allen and Jane Hajduk, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller, Tiger and Elin Woods, and Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck all became parents this year.
Speaking of Tiger Woods, he's been in the news lately for his many alleged affairs and his car accident. The pro-golfer has decided to take a break from golfing.
Barbara Walters named Michelle Obama the Most Fascinating Person of 2009, while her husband, President Barack Hussein Obama II, received the Nobel Peace Prize. For what, we still aren't sure.
That's 2009 for you. 2010 will kick off the next decade in just a few short days. Who knows what it will hold?
