Can I login with my Google account AND have all my ratings and lists from my non Google IMDb account transfer over to the new Google account?.

I have an old account I created on IMDb a good while back that has my ratings and watchlist. I now want to be able to login with my Google account and have it associated with the old account so I don't have to re-enter the ratings or create my watchlist again.

Then what can be done about it besides making a new account from scratch?

I was able to do this first by deleting the Google account in IMDB (I had all my ratings in the non-Google account). I revoked imdb site permissions in my Google Account settings and then used the IMDB Forgot password link to set a password for my Google account (previously no password was required since it authenticated with Google). Now you can login using this password and your Google email account and delete the account.

Afterwards, I logged into my original account and changed the email to match my Google account. Now when you login using google it will prompt you to link the accounts and you should see all your ratings from the original account.

Hope that helps.
