There is often a great disparity between what critics and the audience love. That is where People’s Choice Award comes in. Their winners are voted for by anyone online, including you and me.
We are interested in the movies, of course. As expected, there are winning films here that you would not see in the Golden Globes or Oscars, such as Me Before You (Favorite Dramatic Movie) and Bad Moms (Favorite Comedic Movie). While Blake Lively is a fine actress, this is probably the only award in which she beats Meryl Streep, Amy Adams Julia Roberts, and Emily Blunt as Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress.
But some films and names have clearly appeared in award nominations, such as Ryan Reynolds (Favorite Movie Actor), Tom Hanks (Favorite Dramatic Movie Actor) and Deadpool (Favorite Action Movie). Finding Dory bags 3 awards (Favorite Movie, Favorite Family Movie, and Favorite Animated Movie Voice for Ellen Degeneres).
Ellen Degeneres breaks record as the winner of the most People's Choice Award in history, for a total of 17.
