By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

UPDATED: Thanks Jay for the update. 300 won the award for "Best of Show" also, whatever the hell that means! They actually have awards for trailers? Actually ya know, why not? They are a big part of a movie's marketing and they are such a huge factor in most people's decision on whether to see a film or not. The annual Golden Trailer Awards are now in their 8th year. Here is a full list of winners (i've linked the title to each to a youtube trailer but note it might not be the award it won for as most movies have several trailers)...

Summer 2007 Blockbuster - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix The Golden Fleece (for "Best False Advertising") - Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane ArbusBest Action - 300Best Comedy - BoratBest Horror - 1408Best Thriller - The DescentTrashiest Trailer - Black SheepBest Animated/Family - The Simpsons MovieBest Drama - The DepartedBest Documentary - This Film Is Not Yet RatedMost Original - Bee MovieBest Voice-Over - GrindhouseBest Independent - The Science of SleepBest Romance - In the Land of WomenBest Music - Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man

One question... is the "Best-False Advertising Trailer" award a positive or negative one? Great to see 300 pick up the award for Best Action. Personally I think it's the best trailer of the last 12 months, and for your viewing pleasure I have uploaded it for you to watch below.

Kinda makes ya wanna see it again doesn't it? source - coming soon
