The said online poll also intends to choose the Best Foreign Culture Film of the Decade (which should be created or produced in the United States or primarily for the U.S. market portraying the culture of a foreign country). 

According to its official website, the Green Globe Film Awards aims to recognize the power of film to inspire environmental awareness. In fact, the organizers have pledged to commit a portion of the proceeds from the dinner gala to plant over 500,000 trees.

This year, the organizers plan to give a tribute to Akira Kurosawa to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. The Japanese filmmaker is behind the classic films Rashomon (1950) and The Magnificent Seven (1960).
 
The awards night will take place on March 23 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
