Now it’s people’s turn – they have picked up the year’s best in movies, music, television and pop culture.
The 2024 People’s Choice Awards, hosted by Simu Liu, aired live on Sunday, February 18, 2024 on NBC, Peacock and E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. This year, the number of categories expanded to 45. Barbie won the top movie prize, while Grey’s Anatomy was voted TV show of the year. The winners’ list includes some big shots like Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Jennifer Aniston, Ice Spice, Beyoncé, Pedro Pascal and more. Adam Sandler accepted the People’s Icon Award while Lenny Kravitz received the Music Icon Award after giving his career-stretching performance.
Actor and author Simu Liu, the host of the show, was also nominated in the movie performance category for his role in Barbie, but lost to America Ferrera.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the noted couple, keep cheering each other on their respective fields throughout the year, but at the 2024 People’s Award Ceremony they both emerged victorious. Taylor Swift won in four categories – The Female artist of the Year, The Pop artist of the Year, The Concert Tour of the Year and The Social Celebrity of the Year while nominated for five. Travis Kelce received award in one category – The Athlete of the Year.
Olivia Rodrigo, Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj and Jimmy Fallon each received two awards. Rodrigo won award in “The Song of the Year” category (for ‘Vampire’) and in “The Album of the Year” category (for ‘Guts’), Minaj won award in “The Collaboration Song of the Year” category (for ‘Barbie World’) and in “The Hip-Hop Artist of the Year” category. Ice Spice emerged victorious jointly with Minaj in “The Collaboration Song of the Year” category for her song ‘Aqua’ and in “The New artist of the Year” category. Fallon received awards in “The Host of the Year” category (for ‘That’s My Jam’) and in “The Nighttime Talk Show of the Year” category (for ‘The Tonight Show’).
Barbie won five awards – The Movie of the Year, The Comedy Movie of the Year, The Male movie Star, The Female Movie Star (Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie) and The Movie Performance of the Year (America Ferrera).
Robbie’s selection for “The Female Movie Star” makes up for the fact that she was ignored for an Oscar nomination for best actress. Similarly, Ice Spice’s win for the new artist makes up for her Grammy loss in the best new artist category.
‘Only Murders in the Building’, ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘The Kardashians’ are also recipients of two awards each. ‘Only Murders’ won Comedy show and Female TV star for Gomez, ‘The Last of Us’ won Drama show and Male TV Star for Pedro Pascal and ‘The Kardashians’ won Reality Show and Reality TV Star for Khloé Kardashian (who defeated sister Kim).
This year the People’s Choice Award added five new categories : male country artist, female country artist, male latin artist, female latin artist and concert tour. Country and Latin music genres have two separate categories for male and female artists while in Pop, Hip-Hop and R&B, men and women artists compete with each other.
