Winners of ‘People’s Choice Awards’
The LA bash was teeming with stars voted for online by fans to win the ‘People’s Choice Awards’, which recognizes the people and work of popular culture.
Things couldn’t be going much better for Firework singer Katy Perry, who ended 2010 with a wedding and entered the New Year with a bang, lighting up the stage in a neon frock to accept two awards for ‘Favourite Female Artists’ and ‘Favourite Online Sensation’. The 26-year-old singer, whose album ‘Teenage Dream’ was a hit in the charts last year, thanked the crowd, saying: “I’ve had an incredible year.”
Katy later took to her Twitter to thank her fans: “Oh my we won two People’s Choice Awards! Thank you so much!”.
“I really appreciate all ur continuous love & support! Remember u have the power!”
The ‘People’s Choice Awards’ allows fans to vote for winners in categories spanning music, movies, TV and more.
Taylor Swift, whose whirlwind relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal recently came to a sudden halt, beat the likes of Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood to win the award for ‘Favourite Country Artist’. Elton John, who recently became a dad, presented the award to the 21 year old. “Congratulations to you, you are Dad now” – Taylor said, before adding how ‘honored’ she was to be receiving the award from him.

Queen Latifah hosted the ‘Peoples Choice Awards’ Wednesday night. The people, the people!
Throughout the night, Latifah made sure we remembered that the people voted.
But did ‘the people’ get it right?
I say… never leave it up to the people to vote for awards.
I know the ‘People’s Choice Awards’ is more of a popularity contest than a measure of talent. But still.
Selena Gomez as ‘Breakout Artist’? Kristen Stewart – ‘Favorite Movie Actress’? Really?
No disrespect to these two young women but… come on! I guess the people have chosen.
At these type of awards, you know who is going to win when you see only winner in the audience and not the other nominees.
Because if the others showed up and didn’t win, it would be an embarrassment.

Live in Los Angeles on CBS, and hosted by Queen Latifah. Taylor Swift, Kristen Stewart and Selena Gomez were among the winners.
