MD Poll: Global Certainty 2010

The Golden Globes are tomorrow night and, if the "real" voting was as close as it was for out latest MD Poll, it will be a heated race to victory in at least one of the Best Picture categories.

The Social Network narrowly topped the Dramatic competition, closely followed by Black Swan and The King's Speech, in a tie for second place. Meanwhile in the Comedy or Musical category, it should be smooth sailing for The Kids Are All Right, which netted more then 60% of the votes. See the comments section below for the complete results.

Since the Oscar nominations are only two weeks away, the MD Poll will be taking a short break until then.

Awards Watch: Golden Globe Winners 2009

Oh, those wacky folks at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association sure proved their populist nature with tonight's Golden Globe Awards. Winners included such box office hits as Avatar, The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes and, most surprising of all, The Hangover. Meanwhile, such critical darlings as The Hurt Locker and Up in the Air were left with little to no recoginition, a fact that will surely cloud Oscar predictions for the rest of the season.

See the comments section below for a quick look at all the winners.

MD Poll: Global Possibilities 2009

For our last MD Poll of the year, we turn our attention to the recently announced Golden Globe nominations and ask you to name the movies you think will win in their top two categories, Best Picture - Drama and Best Picture - Musical or Comedy.

Alas, you weren't so lucky last year, when Slumdog Millionaire and Vicky Cristina Barcelona bested your picks The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Mamma Mia! Let's see how you do this year!

Place your votes in the two polls located in the right hand sidebar, and be sure to vote in both of them! Results will be revealed on January 15, two days before the Golden Globe telecast.
