Maybe some day there will be an option to format such values, but I do not think it will be soon.

--- Quote ---when someone asks you how long is the movie do you say 151 minutes or do you say 2hrs 31mins.?
--- End quote ---

Like any movie buff, I would say "151 minutes" and display it as "Runtime: 151." 8)

If I were referring to a time duration in a different context, I would say "2 hours and 31 minutes," but would display it as "2 hrs 31 min" only if there were no caption. Otherwise, it should be "2:31." But don't make me consult my Chicago Manual of Style. ;)
