The People have spoken...



The People's Choice Awards used a more laid-back approach last night in announcing the winners on the CBS telecast. Because of the writers' strike, the event opted for a pre-taped show -- organizers dubbed it a "magazine" format -- in which honorees accepted their awards from movie sets or other locations. The strike was referenced several times on the broadcast, including in an acceptance speech from a silent JOAQUIN PHOENIX, who instead used cue cards to give thanks. Some winners also answered questions sent in by fans.


Ten million people voted for the People's Choice Awards, which honored the public's favorites in music, movies and television. QUEEN LATIFAH hosted the two-hour CBS broadcast.Here's a complete list of winners for the 34th annual People's Choice Awards:
