While critics and academy members were gearing up for the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars - the little people at home in their armchairs in front of the TV and below the floodlights at the local theatre - were busy rustling up their faves for the much-anticipated People's Choice Awards.
Last night, the industry turned out amidst a lot of fanfare to celebrate their choices!
Among the winners?
Jane Lynch was a shoe-in for favorite comedy actress.
But, some were surprised when Conan O'Brien edged out Big "O" and snatched up the coveted statuette for Best Talk show!
"I've been loving the new show, and we're very comfortable doing it, but I like things to evolve," he noted after graciously accepting the award.
In that event, I expect viewers may expect some transformations over the next few months, eh?
Although Johnny Depp has been in the dumper with film reviewers - in large part due to his last role in the box office flop in the big-budget fiasco - "The Tourist" - fans remained loyal.
Uh-huh!
Depp was named favorite male actor!
It was a no-brainer, of course, when "Twilight" scooped up the nod for best film category.
Don't underestimate the voting power of a gaggle of adoring giggling female fans! No doubt Robert Pattinson's sexy screen persona boosted the ballots a tad with the teeny-bopper set.
By the way, Kristen Stewart was chosen as favorite Movie Actress.
Neil Patrick was all smiles when he strode to the podium to accept an award for his role in "How I met your Mother".
The kid's longevity in the biz has been simply amazing, hasn't it?
Katy Perry and Eninem scored big as female and male music artists respectively.
The popular People's Choice Awards were broadcast live on CBS and hosted by hilarious Queen Latifah - a heavyweight in the industry - oh yeah!
