People's Choice Awards 2015

The 41st Annual People's Choice Awards awarded today's most popular shows, movies, and stars live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.  Mom stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney hosted the show. The biggest stars of today were in attendance for the event which was kicked off by a sub-par monologue from the hosting duo which included them poking fun at their being asked to host.

The night included performances from Lady Antebellum ("Freestyle"), Fall Out Boy ("Centuries"), and Iggy Azalea ("Beg For It"). Wacky antics took place throughout the show by the hosts as well as the presenters, some including the use of selfie sticks, calling their moms and backup dancers that were incredibly unnecessary. It would also appear that Walgreens was a participating sponsor or a lot of people in attendance are individually employed as spokespeople.

Some of the night's big winners were Stana Katic who took home awards for Favorite TV Crime Drama and Favorite TV Dramatic Actress (and queen of the red carpet), and Big Bang Theory which took home Favorite TV Show and Favorite Network TV Comedy. Adam Sandler took home his ninth career PCA for Favorite Comedic Movie Actor.  Ben Affleck was presented with the Choice Humanitarian Award for his work with Eastern Congo and Betty White took home the Favorite TV Icon award. A full list of winners can be found here.
