So I didn't actually watch this year's People's Choice Awards, so I can't comment on the actual ceremony itself, although based on the list of presenters and the host, I do wish I had thought to record it. What I'm going to do instead is make a quick commentary on some of the night's wins.
Just to predicate this, I am going to point out that the wins really show the voting demographics of the awards. Young people, very young people, vote for these awards.
| Favourite Movie | Favourite Action Movie | Favourite Comedy Movie |
| The Hunger Games | The Hunger Games | Ted |
| You know what, I'm a little surprised here. I thought Hunger Games was great, but it was up against The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, which were both better | Once again, surprised here, for the same reasons. I don't think Hunger Games was really all that actiony, either. | This category kind of surprised me. The nominations were a bit weird. Ted definitely was not the worst possible winner. |
| Favourite Drama Movie | Favourite Movie Franchise | Favourite Movie Fan Following |
| The Perks of Being a Wallflower | The Hunger Games | Twihards, Twilight |
| I actually really loved this movie. Of the other movies in this category, I think it was the best deserving one | I'm a bit iffy about this one, just because at this point The Hunger Games isn't really a franchise. It's the first instalment in one | This category basically sums up who these awards are aimed for. I do find it funny that two of the franchises nominated here didn't release a movie this year |
| Favourite Movie Actor | Favourite Movie Actress | Favourite Dramatic Movie Actor |
| Robert Downey, Jr | Jennifer Lawrence | Zac Efron |
| I think any one of these actors could have won. This is the only category I've really liked so far | I feel the same about this as I did about the last category. I really like Jennifer Lawrence, I'm happy she won | I'm a little surprised that Zac Efron won. Not complaining, because it's Zac Efron, but surprised |
| Favourite Dramatic Movie Actress | Favourite Action Movie Actor | Favourite Movie Superhero |
| Emma Watson | Chris Hemsworth | Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man in The Avengers |
| I love Emma Watson and I'm really glad she won. The Perks of Being a Wallflower was great | I found it interesting how Chris Hemsworth won here, but lost the superhero nomination. It's weird | Okay, yeah. Iron Man is awesome. I'm happy with this. I do find it interesting how all of the people nominated here are men |
| Favourite Comedic Movie Actor | Favourite Comedic Movie Actress | Favourite On-Screen Chemistry |
| Adam Sandler | Jennifer Aniston | Jennifer Lawrence/Josh Hutcherson/Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games |
| How does Adam Sandler still win these awards? I think he's kind of passed his time here | I'm also a bit disappointed here. Don't get me wrong, I love Jennifer Aniston on Friends, but I don't think she's the best comedic actress this year | Um... yeah. No. Not the best. It was good, but not the best. I would have gone Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone in The Amazing Spider-Man here |
| Favourite Movie Icon | Favourite Face of Heroism | Favourite Network TV Comedy |
| Meryl Streep | Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games | The Big Bang Theory |
| I'm happy with this. Meryl Streep is awesome | I'm not really sure what this category means, it's confusing. I do find it odd that all the superheros were men, while all the faces of heroism were women | I like this show. It's great. And, also important, it's not Modern Family |
| Favourite Network TV Drama | Favourite TV Comedy Actor | Favourite TV Comedy Actress |
| Grey's Anatomy | Chris Colfer | Lea Michele |
| Once again, I love this show. It's great, but also not great. I'm happy with this win | I think I would have gone with Neil Patrick Harris here. I like Chris Colfer, but I'm not as big of a fan of his character | Yeah... This could have gone a few ways. I'm not complaining about the winner, I just find it odd |
| Favourite TV Drama Actor | Favourite TV Drama Actress | Favourite Cable TV Comedy |
| Nathan Fillion | Ellen Pompeo | Awkward |
| Nathan Fillion is the kind of guy who should be nominated for everything and win everything he's nominated for. Just saying | There were a few really good people nominated here, so I think it could have gone a few ways | Honestly, I don't actually watch any of these shows, so I have no comment |
| Favourite Cable TV Drama | Favourite TV Crime Drama | Favourite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show |
| Leverage | Castle | Supernatural |
| I haven't watched any of these either, although I have heard of a lot of great things | Castle is great because of Nathan Fillion. I would have also liked it if Bones had won too | This was a really good category and had some interesting nominations. It could have gone anyway |
| Favourite New TV Comedy | Favourite New TV Drama | Favourite Daytime TV Host |
| The New Normal | Beauty and the Beast | Ellen DeGeneres |
| I don't watch The New Normal or pretty much anything else here. I've been told New Normal is really good though | How did this win? Seriously? How? How did it even get nominated? | Ellen is awesome! |
| Favourite Late Night TV Host | Favourite TV Competition Show | Favourite Celebrity Judge |
| Jimmy Fallon | The X-Factor | Demi Lovato |
| I would have gone with Conan here, just saying | I don't actually watch anything here, but I've been told The X-Factor is great | I would have gone with Blake Shelton, who wasn't even nominated |
| Favourite Premium Cable TV Show | Favourite New Talk Show Host | Favourite TV Fan Following |
| True Blood | Steve Harvey | SPNFamily, Supernatural |
| Huh. Is True Blood still good? | I kind of find it funny that Katie Couric, Jeff Probst, and Ricki Lake all somehow qualify as new talk show hosts | Once again, who cares about the fan followings? Really? This is a category? |
| Favourite Song of the Year | Favourite Album of the Year | Favourite Music Video |
| "What Makes You Beautiful," One Direction | Up All Night, One Direction | "Part of Me," Katy Perry |
| I'm a little surprised "Call Me Maybe" didn't win, just because that's everywhere | I can see this, given who else was nominated. A little surprised Maroon 5 didn't win though | And I'm totally surprised that neither "Gangnam Style" nor "Call Me Maybe." They were everywhere |
| Favourite Male Artist | Favourite Female Artist | Favourite Band |
| Jason Mraz | Katy Perry | Maroon 5 |
| How does Chris Brown keep on getting nominated for things? How does Chris Brown still have a following? | Honestly, I think of all the people nominated here, Katy Perry is the least deserving | I can see this. They were kind of everywhere this year |
| Favourite Pop Artist | Favourite Hip Hop Artist | Favourite R&B Artist |
| Katy Perry | Nicki Minaj | Rhianna |
| I would have gone with either P!nk or Adele here | Nicki Minaj is probably the biggest name here | I don't think I actually like any of the artists in this category. Sorry |
| Favourite Country Artist | Favourite Breakout Artist | |
| Taylor Swift | The Wanted | |
| Um... yeah. I can name 4 artists nominated for this who should have won instead of Taylor Swift | I'm really surprised that The Wanted won here, instead of any of the other artists nominated | |
| Favourite Humanitarian | People's Voice | |
| Sandra Bullock | Christina Aguilera | |
| I'm not really sure what this category was for, but Sandra Bullock is awesome | Also not sure what this category is for, sorry |
