People's Choice Awards:The fans have voted, and in the millions: Stars of TV, film and music picked up their trophies Wednesday night at the 38th annual People's Choice Awards.
Backstage, Emma Stone, winner of the favorite-movie-actress award, had tongue firmly in cheek when asked how she felt: "It sucked," she joked to reporters. "This is so crappy. No, it's so nice." The star of The Help, wearing a green Gucci jacket and dark trousers, choked up onstage during her acceptance speech. But she recovered enough later to tell reporters her style icon. "Diane Keaton, for sure," she said.
In fact, many stars say the People's Choice Awards are their favorite of the awards season, which is just getting underway. Hosted by Kaley Cuoco of CBS' The Big Bang Theory at the Nokia Theatre, the awards were handed out after a record-breaking 230-million-plus online votes at the website and via Facebook and Twitter. Faith Hill and Demi Lovato provided the musical performances.Morgan Freeman was bestowed with the first-ever favorite movie icon award Wednesday night at the People's Choice Awards.
"When I found out that I'd been nominated for the first-ever People's Choice movie icon award, I decided to look up 'icon,'" Freeman said. "Here's what I found: The first definition said an icon is a tiny picture on a computer screen that represents a file."
The star then proceeded to read the word's other meanings and finally landed on the definition of a person or thing that represents something.
"If I represent something, here's what I hope it is," Freeman continued, "To all of you who were kind enough to vote for me, I hope I represent a working actor who is forever grateful for this honor."
