The very first award show of the season was the People's Choice Awards which was held on January 8th in Los Angelos, CA. The People's Choice Awards began in 1957 and are one of my favorite shows because it gives all movie fans a chance to vote on their preferences in each category instead of a pre-set board of voters. Interestingly, it is the only award show that allows the public to voice their opinions about the film and television industry. The voting system is open to the public online through a polling system (very convenient to be able to do this from my home in Chicago). This year the show was hosted by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs from a show called 2 Broke Girls. Although I do not usually watch the show, I thought they were quite funny as co-hosts. Overall I was very pleased at the majority of the award winners, particularly how well Gravity did in the polls. When I watched the movie and reviewed it for my blog, I thought the acting and the special effects were amazing so I was very pleased that it won the award for Favorite Dramatic Movie of the Year. Furthermore, I was even more pleased that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney won for Favorite Movie Duo of the Year for Gravity as well. Not to mention all the recognition that Sandra Bullock received for her work this year when she was awarded Favorite Movie Actress and Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress.
