People's Choice Awards

The Academy Awards made headlines in August when it was announced that it would add a “Popular Award” to honor movies that might otherwise go unrecognized by the prestigious ceremony, but after outcry, the Academy announced that it would delay the introduction of this award.  But there’s always the People’s Choice Awards which is voted on by Average Joes.  The PCAs don’t just honor popular movies, but television shows, musical artists and even social media personalities.  And with 12 nominees in each category, even those that aren’t that successful can be nominated.

The PCAs break down their nominations into Action, Comedy, Drama and Family in film, and even finer specialties for Television.  That includes a Sci-Fi/Fantasy category, which predictably includes most of The CW’s superhero shows plus Netflix’s Marvel entries ‘Jessica Jones’ and ‘Luke Cage’, as well as Freeform’s ‘Shadowhunters‘ which has been officially cancelled, but fans have been working overtime to revive.  Freeform’s ‘Cloak and Dagger‘ also got a nod.

Interestingly, the nominees include people that were not the focal stars of their projects.  While Chadwick Boseman is nominated for Action Movie Star for ‘Black Panther’, so are Michael B. Jordan (Killgrave) and Danai Gurira (Okoye).  Gurira is also nominated in the TV category along with her ‘Walking Dead’ costars Lauren Cohan, Andrew Lincoln, and Norman Reedus.

Below are all the nominees.  If you would like to vote, head over to E!’s website.
