The public now has the opportunity to vote on the Golden Trailer’s top honor, Trailer of the Year. Voting is open from today through Wednesday.

Thirteen of winning trailers in the 16 spotlight categories are eligible for the top prize; the Golden Fleece, Trashiest Trailer and Best Video Game Trailer are not in the running.
The winner will be announced in a national primetime broadcast titled “The Movie Preview Awards,” which will air May 26 on MyNetworkTV.
Created in 1999 to “celebrate the art, craft and fun of movie promotion,” the Golden Trailer Awards have become the top prize in the movie marketing business.
