Friends, I must admit was not super amped about tuning into the
People's Choice Awards tonight because it meant I had to miss Stevie Nicks' big guest-star appearance on
American Horror Story: Coven.
She is my absolute idol, so this was NOT something I took lightly.
Luckily, DVR was invented for a reason, so I will forgo sleep to see
Stevie and her many scarves at a later time. And you know what? I'm glad
my glass of white wine and I tuned in to watch the PCAs because it was
chock-full of best moments—and, yes, one annoying, not-best thing too.
But let's start with the good stuff:
I liked Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings as hosts! Their pre-taped
2 Broke Girls
spoof opening with stars "ordering" their awards was funny, and I liked
how their friendship chemistry played off each other. Overall, I
thought it worked better than Kaley Cuoco's slightly awkward hosting
turn last year (No offense, Kaley!!!).
The
nice thing about the People's Choice Awards is that they get mega stars
to show up—and any time you have a large number of celebrities gathered
in one room, you're guaranteed at least
some interesting
things to happen. There were fun moments like the girly friendship win
when Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy accepted an award for
The Heat
together, make-me-cry moments like when Jennifer Hudson accepted her
humanitarian award (seriously, how amazing was she?!), and cute-guy
moments like when Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, and Zac Efron all
joked about Zac never having an awkward date with a girl.
Speaking of cute-guy moments: Justin Timberlake was looking sexy as usual tonight and the audience
loved his quip about learning that putting dishes in the dishwasher is the secret to a happy marriage. It is, JT, it is.
My
favorite moment, by far, was everything surrounding the win for
Favorite On Screen Chemistry. First, Shemar Moore awkwardly flirted with
recently-separated Malin Akerman, then it was announced that the win
went to ex-couple (but still on-screen couple) Ian Somerhalder and Nina
Dobrev, and Malin totally mispronounced Somerhalder's name (I assume
because she was flustered?). Entertaining stuff. But Ian and Nina played
off their breakup well with a shrug and an "At least it's not
awkward..."—and they ended their speech with a sweet kiss. Their
chemistry was so undeniable, I totally understand why they
won/immediately wanted them to get back together.
Finally, not to end on a sour note, but
I mentioned this last year,
and I will say it again: I am NOT a fan of the fact that the
celebrities know the winners of the PCAs in advance. It kills the buzz
that comes from a shocked winner having to come up with an acceptance
speech on the fly—and it's
way too easy to predict who won
based on the stars in attendance. One example: Drew Barrymore (who, by
the way, looked stunning!) presented the Favorite Comedic Movie Actor.
Guess who won? Adam Sandler. A fun moment, but still—who didn't see that
coming a mile away? Just saying: It takes some of the credibility and
excitement away, and I
thought those were the reasons why we watch awards shows. #RantOver
