'Dark Knight' is the People's Choice, But So is '27 Dresses'

DateThursday, January 8, 2009 at 1:00AM
Damn, I forgot the People's Choice Awards was last night. I missed the excitement as 27 Dresses was named the year's Favorite comedy. Not Tropic Thunder, mind you, or even In Bruges, Role Models, or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. No, that would've meant those films were nominated. And they weren't.

Mysteriously, even though Thunder outperformed 27 Dresses at the box office - the real people's choice - it wasn't even nominated over the very middling Katherine Heigl comedy. Its competition was Get Smart and Mamma Mia!, two other movies that significantly outworked it financially, which again, would be how people would normally vote for such a thing.

See, this is why the People's Choice Awards frustrates me. Well, this and Rascal Flatts being named Favorite Band. Ugh. Remind me not to let People's Choice voters make me a mix CD.

The other movie awards included The Dark Knight winning Favorite Movie, Favorite Action Movie, Favorite On-Screen Match-Up, Favorite Cast and Favorite Superhero. The Secret Life of Bees was named Favorite Drama and Favorite Independent Movie, and Will Smith and Reese Witherspoon are your favorite movie stars, America.

Yea! People!
