Critics' picks as globe frontrunners
0 
"Toy Story 3" has received the Golden Tomato Award for the best-reviewed film of the year. The award is presented annually by the website RottenTomatoes.com, which compiles reviews from critics to measure the percentage of favorable critiques.
According to the website, the animated tale about toys searching for meaning when their owner grows up and heads off to college collected positive reviews from 99 percent of critics, making it the best-reviewed film in wide release of 2010.
"Toy Story 3" beat out "The Social Network," which got a positive-review score of 97 percent and took the Tomato in the drama category.
At the Globes, this year's best-picture drama contenders are "The King's Speech" "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "Inception," and "The Social Network." "Network" has taken the lion's share of critics' awards so far this year.
But Matt Atchity, Editor-In-Chief of Rotten Tomatoes, says he expects "Speech" will be the Globes' pick.
Matt Atchity, Editor-In-Chief of Rotten Tomatoes, said, "It's a foreign film. It's an English film. It's a period drama. It's about royalty. I make it sound like it's all of these elements, but, first and foremost, it's an amazing movie. It's an absolutely beautiful movie. And I think that the (Globes' voting group, the) Hollywood Foreign Press Association is going to recognize that. I suspect that that's the way they're going to vote."
This year's best-picture musical or comedy Globes contenders are "Alice in Wonderland," "Burlesque," "The Kids Are All Right," "Red" and "The Tourist."
Matt Atchity said,"I have a feeling 'The Tourist' is going to win. I have a feeling, I think that that they're just crazy enough (to vote for) it. You know, it's got the big stars. It's the big, glamorous movie. I think it's going to win. You know, the Hollywood Foreign Press isn't, necessarily, again, looking at Tomatometer scores. They're not looking at financial success necessarily. They're really looking for this kind of unique, international appeal. And I think that 'The Tourist' probably has that biggest appeal."
The 68th annual Golden Globe Awards are set for Sunday in Beverly Hills, California.
