Information:
The
People's Choice Awards is an
American awards show recognizing the
people and the work of popular
culture. The show has been held
annually since 1975 and is voted on
by the general public. The People's
Choice Awards air on CBS and are
produced by Procter & Gamble and
Survivor magnate Mark Burnett.
Global promotion provided by
Kroszover Entertainment.
The
award categories have varied over
the years. For example, the 16th
People's Choice Awards had
categories including Favorite
All-Around Movie (Batman), and both
a Favorite Movie Actor (Tom Cruise)
and a World Favorite Movie Actor
(Dustin Hoffman). At the 23rd
People's Choice Awards, Rob Reiner
was named the People's Choice Awards
Honoree. More recently, the 32nd
People's Choice Awards (broadcast in
January 2006) included categories
such as Favorite On-Screen Match-Up
(Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in
Wedding Crashers), Favorite Leading
Lady (Reese Witherspoon), Favorite
Tour (U2), and an award named after
a Procter & Gamble brand: Nice 'n
Easy Fans Favorite Hair (Faith
Hill). In 2008, the People's Choice
Awards introduced a new category:
Favorite Sci-Fi Show. The nominees
were Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar
Galactica, and Doctor Who. Stargate
Atlantis ultimately became the first
recipient of the award.
The
winners of the 31st People's Choice
Awards (aired January 9, 2005) were
decided by online voting rather than
Gallup polls. The nominees submitted
for Internet voting were selected
using an unpublished process
involving editors at Entertainment
Weekly, the show's production team,
and a panel of pop culture fans.
