Star Trek XI Named Hollywood Movie Of The Year
Written by Wayne Hall on October 29, 2009 – 12:30 pm -
During the recent 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival’s awards ceremony, Star Trek XI took home a top prize selected by fans on the Internet, and Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in the film, accepted the award, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“Gee, I’m shocked the online community chose to honor Star Trek,” Quinto joked as he was given The Hollywood Movie Of The Year, chosen by a Yahoo! Movies public poll. The genre movie won with 42,095 votes, or 26 percent of those who cast their ballots over the Web.
Started thirteen years ago, the Hollywood Awards are chosen based on “private, press, preview and festival screenings, as well as recommendations from a cross section of Hollywood professionals, including actors, agents, executives, directors, film critics, entertainment journalists, managers, producers, publicists, screenwriters and members of the guilds and societies.”
Star Trek will be available on DVD on Tuesday, November 17.
