The 2024 People’s Choice Awards showcased a wide array of winners across various categories, highlighting achievements in television, movies, music, and more.
Three Billboard Hot 100-topping artists found success in TV categories. Billie Eilish secured the TV Performance award for her work in “Swarm.” Selena Gomez was recognized as the Female TV Star for her role in “Only Murders in the Building.” Kelly Clarkson’s “The Kelly Clarkson Show” earned her the Daytime Talk Show award.
“Barbie” emerged as a dominant force, clinching five awards, including Movie of the Year and Comedy Movie of the Year. The film also saw Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie crowned as Male and Female Movie Stars, respectively, with America Ferrera taking the Movie Performance honor.
Margot Robbie’s win for Female Movie Star offered some consolation for her Oscar nomination snub. Ice Spice’s victory in the New Artist category served as a redemption of sorts following her loss in the Grammy’s Best New Artist category.
“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” triumphed in two categories: Action Movie and Action Movie Star, awarded to Rachel Zegler.
“Only Murders in the Building,” “The Last of Us,” and “The Kardashians” each claimed two awards. “Only Murders” secured wins for Comedy Show and Female TV Star (Selena Gomez), while “The Last of Us” earned honors for Drama Show and Male TV Star (Pedro Pascal). “The Kardashians” won in the Reality Show category, with Khloé Kardashian winning Reality TV Star over her sister Kim.
The event featured notable presentations and performances, with Jennifer Aniston presenting the Comedy Icon Award to Adam Sandler, and Victoria Monét presenting the Music Icon Award to Lenny Kravitz, who also performed during the show. Lainey Wilson and Kylie Minogue added to the entertainment with their own performances.
