It's that time of the year again and just when you thought they couldn't possibly come up with another awards show, they have. An international panel of marketing, advertising and entertainment industry professionals from Australia, America and Great Britain selected the inaugural annual Product Placement Awards.

The Product Placement Awards recognize annual achievements in product placement in movies and TV shows. Movies dominated the initial top 10 list with Minority Report taking the top honors. TV shows "All My Children" and "American Idol" made the top 10 as well as non-traditional fare such as the video game "The Sims Online" and the book "Liberation Day."

The complete list: 10.) American Idol 9.) Starburst Candy 8.) All My Children 7.) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 6.) Austin Powers In Goldmember 5.) Spider-Man 4.) Liberation Day 3.) The Sims Online 2.) Die Another Day 1.) Minority Report
