HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Worldwide movie viewers are favoring long-time Hollywood idol Matt Damon at the Green Globe Film Awards.  Christoph Waltz, who has walked away with five Best Supporting Actor awards this year for his role in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds", may not be exclaiming "That's a Bingo!" at the Green Globe Film Awards on March 23rd as Matt Damon has led in Green Globe nominations for his performance in Clint Eastwood's "Invictus".

Although American actor, writer, and philanthropist Matt Damon, is no stranger to film awards, he has faced stiff competition this year against the Austrian actor Christoph Waltz.  However, the tides may change at the Green Globe Film Awards for Damon as fans have the final say in selecting the award recipients.  And who would dare bet against the 2007 People Magazine selection for "Sexiest Man Alive" as a fan favorite?  In addition to his nomination for Best Supporting Actor, Matt Damon has received Green Globe Film Award nominations in the categories of "Best Actor" for his role in "The Informant" and "10 Best Actors of the Decade".  

The Green Globe Film Awards is made up of 100 Viewers' Choice Awards that are selected by global movie lovers through an online voting system at http://www.movie-voters.com.  Awards in the categories of major motion picture, environmental, humanitarian, animated and international films will be presented at the Green Globe Film Awards and Emperor's Dreams Dinner Gala on March 23, 2010 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. The 2010 International Category Theme is "Asian Films".  The event, which is organized by the Academia Foundation and the Anaheim University Akira Kurosawa School of Film, is sponsored by the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, Asiana Airlines, All Nippon Airways (ANA), and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and endorsed by the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles, the Consulate-General of Los Angeles and the Japan Foundation.
