The ballot is a lock and the competition is fierce!
People’s Choice Awards 2017 announced its final nominees today (Nov. 15), and with more than 125 million votes cast, it’s safe to say the fans have definitely spoken. (If you can’t wait to find out who made the ballot, scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the full list of nominees.)
The top vote-getters in music, movies, TV, and digital were revealed during the People’s Choice Awards 2017 nominations press conference in Los Angeles. Presenters Jordana Brewster (Lethal Weapon), Jamie Chung (Office Christmas Party), Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken), Boris Kodjoe (Code Black), Piper Perabo (Life In Pieces), Molly Shannon (Divorce), Wilmer Valderrama (NCIS), Executive Producer Mark Burnett and People’s Choice President Fred Nelson were on-hand to do the honors.
With a whopping 64 categories, People’s Choice Awards 2017 promises to be one for the books — and in the case of Ellen DeGeneres, it could be one for the record books. DeGeneres is nominated in three categories, including “Favorite Animated Movie Voice,” “Favorite Daytime TV Host” and “Favorite Comedic Collaboration.” If she wins even one of those categories, she would become the most-decorated People’s Choice Awards winner in history.
Though DeGeneres could set a People’s Choice Awards record, Kevin Hart may just be the one to watch. The actor leads the list of nominees for People’s Choice Awards 2017 with five total nods. Meanwhile, with four nods each, Drake and Rihanna are going to have to “work, work, work” to race ahead of each other before voting closes. They’re both tied for the most nominations in music. The biggest music showdown, however, might end up being between former One Direction bandmates Zayn Malik and Niall Horan. The singers are both in the running for “Favorite Breakout Artist.” (As if it wasn’t hard to enough picking your favorite 1D member, right?) Zayn is also up for “Favorite Song” with Pillowtalk. Captain America: Civil War dominates movies with seven noms across the board, while Grey’s Anatomy makes a strong showing in TV with five nods.
Speaking of TV, fans can now vote in the Favorite TV Comedy and Favorite New TV Drama categories, sponsored by Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn. Voting in these categories will remain open until the night of show.
You determined the list of nominees, and now it’s up to you to choose the winner. Starting today, fans can cast votes for who they want to see take home a People’s Choice Award. Fans can vote via PeoplesChoice.com, Facebook, and/or via Facebook Messenger. Voting ends Thursday, Dec. 15 at 11:59 PM, ET. Take a look at the full list of nominees below!
