Sandra Bullock is still America’s sweetheart. She was the big winner last night at the People’s Choice Awards during a live broadcast hosted by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs (“2 Broke Girls”) at the Nokia Theater L.A. LIVE on CBS.
These awards are as straightforward as it gets. The name says it all: The public votes for their favorites in music, movies and television. Yep, there’s no Academy with some 6,000 members and complicated rules and regulations and disqualifications somewhere in the fine print. Regular folks just went to the People’s Choice official website and clicked the names of their favorites. And you can’t argue with the numbers: this year some 700 plus million people voted.
Sandra Bullock took home four crystal sculptures, including “Favorite Movie Actress,” while “Iron Man 3” took home the awards for “Favorite Movie” and “Favorite Action Movie.” Justin Timberlake nabbed three awards for “Favorite Male Artist,” “Favorite R&B Artist” and “Favorite Album” for “The 20/20 Experience.”
With her win tonight for “Favorite Daytime TV Host,” Ellen DeGeneres has become the most decorated female in People’s Choice Award history, with a total of 14 crystal trophies. (Where does she put them I wonder?) “The Big Bang Theory” took home “Favorite Network TV Comedy,” while its star, Kaley Cuoco, nabbed “Favorite Comedic TV Actress.” The night also featured performances of “Brave” by Sara Bareilles, “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic and “The Mona Lisa” by Brad Paisley.
Jennifer Hudson was honored with a “Favorite Humanitarian” award for her work with the Julian D. King Foundation, an organization she founded in 2009 with her sister, Julia Hudson, in honor of her nephew.
The People’s Choice Awards kicks off the Golden Globe weekend with a happy start, and like that gala, has a red carpet, backstage and behind-the-scenes action and party coverage. Check it out at PeoplesChoice.com.
