The 2024 People’s Choice Awards dazzled Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar with a star-studded affair, featuring prominent personalities such as Jennifer Aniston, Sydney Sweeney, Tom Hiddleston, and Laverne Cox. Hosted by Simu Liu, the event brought together the entertainment industry’s finest for an evening of celebration and recognition.
The red carpet was graced by notable figures like America Ferrera, Sydney Sweeney, Billie Eilish, and more, reflecting the diversity and talent present in the entertainment world. From established stars to emerging talents, the ceremony showcased the industry’s rich tapestry.
However, the glitz and glamour couldn’t overshadow the absence of some winners. Athlete of the Year, Travis Kelce, chose to remain in Kansas City, expressing his bemusement at receiving the award on his podcast, deeming it “nonsense.” Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who clinched four awards, including “social celebrity of the year,” was unable to attend due to her ongoing Eras Tour in Australia.
In the realm of film, “Barbie” emerged victorious as the movie of the year, while “Oppenheimer” claimed the title of the best drama movie. Actors like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Jenna Ortega, and others were honored for their outstanding performances.
The TV categories saw “Grey’s Anatomy” securing the show of the year, with individual accolades going to Jennifer Aniston, Pedro Pascal, Selena Gomez, and Jenna Ortega.
The music segment celebrated a diverse range of artists, with Jung Kook and Taylor Swift winning male and female artist of the year, respectively. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” was crowned song of the year, and Ice Spice was named the new artist of the year.
The People’s Choice Awards once again highlighted the industry’s dynamism, letting the audience’s voice resonate through the acknowledgment of their favorite stars and creations.
