People's Choice Awards: 2009 People's Choice Awards results

The 35th People's Choice Awards/2009 People's Choice Awards will be announced today, capping weeks of voting online for everyone's favorites in the entertainment industry.

After all, popularity determines one's existence in the entertainment industry. As a result, categories use the word "favorite" rather than the wards show staple "best". For the 2009 People's Choice Awards/35th People's Choice Awards, in addition to the regular assortment of categories, this year will include new categories including Favorite TV Drama Diva, Favorite Movie Cast and Favorite Scene Stealing Guest Star.

Though the People's Choice Awards will have its requisite celebrity red carpet arrivals and VIP guests in black tie, what sets it from the other Hollywood awards shows is that there are free tickets distributed to the general public. Thus, you'll never know what will happen in the live People Choice Awards because it has a different energy than the others, with fans shouting and shrieking at every chance they get. For instance, when comedian Jim Carrey won the award for "Liar Liar' several years ago, he leapt up from his table, lifted his chair high above his head, and shook it in manic glee as he danced up to the stage, finally hurling the chair ahead of him before bounding onto the stage and smothering his producer in a mock passionate embrace.
