Coming up on Hardball

Tonight on Hardball: Hawaii's new Governor Neil Abercrombie wants to make it possible to release more evidence of President Obama's Hawaiian birth. But will this even matter to the birthers, and could it just add fuel to the fire for those attacking the legitimacy of Obama's Presidency? Mother Jones's David Corn and The Chicago Tribune's Clarence Page weigh in.

Then: "Should old acquaintance be forgot…" Not these days, thanks to the power of videos gone viral. And we celebrate 2010 with the Top Political YouTube moments of the year. Alex Wagner, White House Correspondent for Politics Daily, and Politico's Ken Vogel join us.

Next: New year, new rules? Some Senate Democrats want to require senators to be on the floor if they intend to filibuster. Make sense? Yes. Likely to face resistance? You betcha. And then: Hardball goes Hollywood! Chris and New York Magazine film critic David Edelstein discuss their favorite movies of the year. Don't miss it!
