"For a decade, the Moviefone Moviegoer Awards have given real movie fans a chance to speak up and make their opinion count," said Steven Yee, Vice President and General Manager, Moviefone. "This year, moviegoers took the opportunity to nominate a wide spectrum of films from big-budget crowd-pleasers like Spider-Man 2 and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to smaller independent films like Garden State and Finding Neverland. We invite movie fans everywhere to cast their vote and make their voices heard."
Last year, moviegoers cast nearly twenty million votes and selected The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King as the Best Picture of the year. Johnny Depp was voted Best Actor for his Pirates of the Caribbean performance and Charlize Theron was moviegoers' pick for Best Actress for her role in Monster. The year's sexiest kiss according to moviegoers was the passionate smooch between Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Universal Pictures' The Wedding Date, a romantic comedy starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney, opens nationwide on February 4.
