People’s Choice Awards Winners Revealed
It’s awards season in Hollywood, and tonight the 34th annual People’s Choice Awards were held. With the writers strike still in full force, the awards ceremony was a less than glamorous, writerless, televised broadcast mostly amounting to a clips show.
The awards show was hosted by Queen Latifah in an empty studio, with the bulk of the show comprised of a bunch of boring clips. If you had any doubt about the Golden Globes decision to cancel the awards show, the excruciating painful presentation at the People’s Choice Awards shows that the Globes made the right decision. At least they decided to spare us the agony of bad graphics and lame video clips.
Nevertheless, although the show was scaled back a bit, the awards were still given out. Check out the full list below for the complete line-up of winners:

As I read through the list of ‘Peoples Choice’ award winners…It becomes evident that mental morons should not be allowed to cast votes for anything. If you read the list, it reveals the entertainment industry’s distain, and omission of African American actors, and actresses. The only hint of African American participation is ‘The Favorite Scene Stealer’, Chandra Wilson. White Execs, White Producers, White Directors, White Actors, with an occasional person of color thrown in. This system is broken if the public thinks Katherine Heigl is the best actress of anything. With the large number of accomplished actors, and actresses on the small screen, and the best they can find is her? What does this tell you about the viewing public? They have dumbed down to the visual, actual talent is not a factor anymore. If it was, Ms. Heigl wouldn’t even be in the conversation.
I have a wonderful interview with the screenwriter, Robert Eisele, of “The Great Debaters.” As soon as I can muster up the time to write the piece week, it will be on this web site.
Michael, I hope you come back to view that interview. It is quite awesome, quite inspirational about the start of the civil rights movement.
I definitely remember there being a FAVORITE REMAKE in the MUSIC category. Why isn’t the winner listed?
Congrats to DAUGHTRY and MOONLIGHT for their wins.
Perhaps, Julie can list the link on her post.”)
Then you can take a look and see what it up with Favorite Remake or Music categories.
