And the winner is:
Tiny Springfield, Vt., beat out 13 other like-named cities Tuesday for the right to host the premiere of "The Simpsons Movie," winning an online poll it wasn't even invited to participate in. Vermont's Springfield which has a bowling alley, a pub, a prison and a nuclear power plant just down the road wasn't initially part of the contest, but a local Chamber of Commerce executive appealed to movie producer 20th Century Fox and the race was on. Vermont got 15,367, edging out Springfield, Ill., which drew 14,634.
On July 21, the town's 100-seat movie theater will play host to the movie, which opens July 27.
