As we near the hotly-anticipated start of 2011, we here at Fandango decided to put out a call to filmgoers to see what (and who) they were most looking forward to in the New Year. We’ve already shared with you the results of the Sexiest Men and Women in 2011 Movies (voted on by over 1,000 filmgoers right here at Fandango), and now we’re going to shake things up by revealing the results of some of our most talked-about polls: The Most Anticipated Blockbuster of 2011, The Next Big American Movie Star in 2011 and Most Mismatched Movie Couple in 2011.
Let’s begin with the blockbusters, where both Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga were put head to head, revealing that both men and women are anticipating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 the most out of all other movies arriving in theaters in 2011. You won’t see Breaking Dawn, Part 1 anyway near the men’s list (though it is number two on the women’s list), and, surprisingly, The Hangover 2 beat out other blockbusters like Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on both lists. Perhaps the biggest surprise, however, is that neither Marvel movie (Thor or Captain America: The First Avenger) cracked the top five for men or women. Check out the full results below …

Next up we have the most mismatched movie couple of 2011, a title that, for men, belongs to Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz in The Green Hornet, and for women rests solely with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Just Go With It. Other mismatched couples on the list include Kevin James and Winona Ryder (The Dilemma), Kevin James and Rosario Dawson (Zookeeper) and Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Connelly (The Dilemma). Geez, poor Kevin James – is a guy who’s large and in charge not allowed to date a pretty lady? Check out the full results below …
