The People's Choice Awards is a show by the people (the awards are fan-voted) for the people (screaming fans make up much of the audience), and filled with a few human errors.
A funny Jane Lynch hosted the annual event, one of the first big ceremonies of awards season, at Los Angeles, California's Microsoft Theater.
Five highlights from the show:Jane Lynch sang, danced and poked fun at Steve Harvey.
In a live opening number, Lynch showed off her Glee pipes (and quipped that she never sang that much on the musical show) in a song-and-dance parody of Shut Up and Dance called Stand Up and Choose. She joked about how she's like the multitalented Neil Patrick Harris, only "more masculine". And the jokes kept on coming. Later, she presented "new" Most Deserving of People's Choice Award to Thomas Lennon, before realizing that, wait, he was the first runner-up. The winner was Miss Colombia! Ariadna Gutiérrez' lookalike (model Tika Camaj), in a sash and crown, came up to claim her prize. "It's my fault, I didn't bother to come to dress rehearsal and I just read the card wrong," said Lynch. "I'm so sorry."
Stage-crashers interrupted the Awards:
Two unknown men somehow made it onto the People's Choice telecast. Number One showed up when the women of The Talk accepted the daytime hosts awards. He bypassed security to say something, but Sheryl Underwood quickly shooed the stage-crasher away and Sharon Osbourne kicked him so Sara Gilbert could finish her speech. Number Two was the guy shown on-camera when the favorite social-media star was announced. The winner was Buzzfeed's Matt Bellassai, who was sitting behind the excited guy that the camera crew accidentally featured.
Dakota Johnson recovered from a wardrobe malfunction:
On her way to accept the dramatic movie actress award, Johnson realized something bad, saying: 'Leslie Mann just broke my dress' with her congratulatory hug. But, after holding up her top, the Fifty Shades of Grey star made light of the whole situation (and didn't flash anyone): "Well, it's not like nobody here hasn't already seen my boobs."
Sandra Bullock and Vin Diesel gave emotional speeches:
Bullock, who took home the trophy for movie actress, took time in her speech to talk about her son, who would thank "the world" and "the planet" if given an award, and about her admiration for fellow nominees. She told the crowd that she loves her job for a few reasons: "It’s the people I meet, and the memories I make, and once again, you, the people, have allowed me to be in great company tonight with these women I share this category with. They all break molds, push that glass ceiling up, and they’re all mamas. We’re all working mamas who love what we do.”
Diesel, who took home two trophies for Furious 7, got teary-eyed remembering his late co-star Paul Walker. "When I hear that you voted for this film, I start to think of Paul," said Diesel. "My only message to you is you’d be amazed what you can do with love. You’d be amazed at how powerful a force that is. When we didn’t want to come back to filming when the tragedy was too heavy, it was the love of everyone combined that saw us through to the end."
Surprise: Johnny Depp showed up, but not a surprise: Ellen DeGeneres won awards:
Though Depp wasn't seated in the audience, the actor showed up when his name was called as the winner for movie actor. It turns out the Black Mass star was hiding backstage. He accepted the trophy with jokes about his movie: "You know, the only thing that upset me was that my dance sequences were cut out completely," he said to an audience that encouraged him to show off his moves. He did not.
DeGeneres, a People's Choice regular, accepted both a daytime television host award and the Humanitarian Award. While onstage, she made laugh-out-loud comments like "Would I call myself the Mother Theresa of talk shows, the Dalai Lama of daytime? No. But I'm sure someone out there has." She also showed a shirtless picture of fellow People's Choice winner Chris Hemsworth to make the audience happy.
Rico says, no, he did not watch it, but heard about it on the news...
