Default Pronounce 2010

Seeing as though 2010's coming up, just interested how people are going to pronounce it. Theres the old fashioned noughties saying of two thousand and ten; and then theres the other way of saying it eg: twenty ten

Just interested, thats all. I think I call 2010 both, but for 2012 afterwards, I have a strange hunch to call any years afterwards twenty***, I think because of that movie lol
