CBS put their regular programming on hold last night so they could show the 33rd Annual People's Choice Awards. Hosted by Queen Latifah, the show gives awards based on public internet voting. As that is the case, these awards track with the Nielsen ratings more than most. Case in point, the award for Television Comedy went to Two And A Half Men. Top rated for a couple years now, but it can't seem to get any press unless Charlie Sheen is divorcing someone or hiring a hooker. Most of the other television awards followed similar lines. The award for Best Drama went to Grey's Anatomy. Best Actor was Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). Best Actress went to Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives). Best Competition/Reality show was, of course, American Idol. Best Animated Show was The Simpsons. The only real surprise came in the new categories. Best New Drama was Heroes, which isn't a surprise, but Best New Comedy, The Class? I didn't see that one coming. The television awards were rounded out with Ellen Degeneres winning Best Talk Show Host.

I am very happy that The Class won an award! It really is getting better each week. They have decided to do less indidual story lines and have more where all of the characters are involved together. I've also heard that the actress who plays the annoying character Holly doesn't want to be a part of the show any more and that they are willing to let her go! With a little more time I think this show will come into it's own and CBS will have a strong comedy line up with How I Met Your Mother, The Class, and Two and a Half Men.

God, why does everyone listen to such shitty music?
I have to say though, I've at least heard of all of those people. That's more than I can say for that kind of award show usually.
And people do realize that Cameron Diaz cannot act worth anything, and ruins movies that would be perfectly tolerable otherwise. Leading lady, my ass.
I can't go on. Gotta say I agree with Frank. I'm perfectly happy in my own far more cultured microcosm.

Well, half of the winners I voted for won so that's not too bad. I've never seen The Class so I'm not sure what that show is about. Did you guys watch the award show? It was enjoyable for me and most of the winners were in attendance. They all looked glamourous and had some amazing gowns. If you want to view highlights and behind the scene footage of the show you can check it out at http://www.pcavote.com They also have message boards and blogs there as well. I work with the People's Choice Community so check it out and get the latest entertainment news there.
