All month long, we've been talking about the best of 2008 in movies, music, and television. Now, as '08 draws to a close, I wanted to leave you with my picks for the best of the best. See you next year, Buzz readers!
Why was 2008 so good for Robert Downey Jr.? Because we just couldn't get enough of him. The man's had a lot of career ups and downs, but this just might have been his biggest year ever.
As you told me in my best of 2008 polls, some pretty good music came out this year. But what achieved "most played" status on my iPod this year? As we prepare to say goodbye to 2008, I've pulled out some of the songs that were staples in my collection.
You've voted on the different categories of movies as we looked back at the best of 2008, but I'm curious to know whether you think the year in cinema was a good one overall.
Sure, some movies made a lot of money off of us this year (ahem, The Dark Knight), but when you look back on '08 in its entirety, do you think it delivered really great films?

From the Decemberists turning up on Mad Men to the Hawaiian version of "More Than Words" from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, there's some good stuff here, and you can check it out when you read more
