The Golden Globe nominations are out (see our list of favorites by clicking here) and people are already speculating about the Oscars.  But just because you’re not Meryl Streep doesn’t mean we at NYLON didn’t notice your outstanding performance.

Below, a list of our favorite young actors in movies this year.  (We tried to get James Franco and Anne Hathaway to read them out loud on NYLON TV, but they would only do it if they were naked.  No thanks.)

2010 was great year for HD imagery on the walls outside of theaters, as well as on indoor screens. The mark of a great poster comes when you get to the end of the year and remember a design and title even if you never made it to the box office to see the film.

Boasting some innovative layouts and homages to masterpieces of the past, as well as a keen grasp of what catches the eye, here are our top 10 picks for 2010 movie posters that will still be imprinted on our minds in 2011, 2012 and long after.
