For over 40 years, the People’s Choice Awards have shaken up the critics circuit by letting the general public weigh in on the best and brightest in entertainment. It’s also one of the few ceremonies that honor television, film, and, music, so the ballot often includes a wide-ranging swath of performers. The nominees at the 2017 iteration stretched from comic book blockbuster Suicide Squad to animated standout Zootopia and raunchy comedy Bad Moms. On the TV side, shows like Modern Family, Empire, and Mr. Robot all got nods, while in music Drake, Beyoncé, and the Chainsmokers were up for awards.
Because voting is left up to the public, People’s Choice often honors titles that are popular amongst audiences but may not be a hit with critics. Indeed, fan favorites won big at the 43rd annual show, which was hosted by Joel McHale in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Among the winners were Finding Dory, Me Before You, Supernatural, and The Big Bang Theory. Deadpool, which nabbed a couple statuettes at the Critics Choice Awards in December, brought home one of the top spots. It beat out fellow comic book adaptations Suicide Squad and Captain America: Civil War for Favorite Movie.
Elsewhere, Ellen DeGeneres picked up a record three trophies for a career total of 20 wins, and Johnny Depp, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, and Justin Timberlake also emerged on top. You can check out the full list of movie and TV winners at this year’s People’s Choice Awards, below.
