Quentin Tarantino and rockers Pearl Jam have another reason to celebrate this Christmas (09) - they've topped the WENN end-of-year movie and album polls.
Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds narrowly beat comedy The Hangover and indie hit (500) Days of Summer to land the Best Film prize, while Pearl Jam's Backspacer was the clear winner on the album countdown, ahead of Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 and Them Crooked Vultures' eponymous debut.
Also making the two top 10s were Woody Allen's Whatever Works, Watchmen, Up and Public Enemies and Robbie Williams' Reality Killed The Radio Star, Florence & The MAChine's Lungs and Year in the Kingdom by Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman.
