Sandra Bullock Voted Top Star of 2009! See the Complete Top 10 List!
Quigley Publishing Company has released its 78th Annual Poll of Exhibitors and Sandra Bullock has been voted the Top Money-Making Star of 2009.
Bullock is the first female to win since Julia Roberts in 1999. She appeared in two of the biggest films of 2009 namely "The Blind Side" and "The Proposal." Okay, we already forgave her for the abysmal "All About Steve."

The Quigley Poll, conducted each year since 1932, is an annual survey of motion picture theatre owners and film buyers, which asks them to vote for the ten stars that they believe generated the most box-office revenue for their theatres during the year. It has been long regarded as one of the most reliable indicators of a Star’s real box-office draw because the selections are done by people whose livelihood depends on choosing the films that will bring audiences to their theatres. The Quigley Poll appears annually in Quigley Publishing Company’s International Motion Picture Almanac and at www.quigleypublishing.com.
And the Top 10 Stars of 2009 are:
#1 Sandra Bullock
#2 Johnny Depp
#3 Matt Damon
#4 George Clooney
#5 Robert Downey Jr.
#6 Tom Hanks
#7 Meryl Streep
#8 Brad Pitt
#9 Shia LaBeouf
#10 Denzel Washington
The Stars of Tomorrow for 2009 are Carey Mulligan (she'll be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her breakthrough performance in "An Education") and Taylor Lautner aka Jacob Black in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."
Exhibitors chose the Stars of Tomorrow, one actor and one actress, who they feel will be Top Money-Makers in the years to come.
