People’s Choice Awards
DOUG JOHNSON: Stars of music, movies, and television appeared Wednesday night for the thirty-seventh yearly People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles. It is the only major awards event in America where fans decide who takes home a prize. Chris Cruise tells about the show and some of the winners.
CHRIS CRUISE: The first People’s Choice Awards show was in nineteen seventy-five. The Gallup Company decided the winners by public opinion studies. For thirty years, the People’s Choice Awards were decided this way. But the Internet has brought the awards ceremony into the modern age. The “people” began making their “choices” directly on the Web in two thousand five.
Actress Lisa Edelstein playfully honored that process in her acceptance speech at the awards ceremony. She won for Favorite TV Drama Actress for her role as Dr. Cuddy on the show “House.” She thanked, by name, Twitter voters whose Twitter names she really enjoyed. All included “Lisa” or “Cuddy” or “Stein” in some part of their online name.
