As for the ladies, it wasn't just Sandra Bullock taking home all the awards, as Kaley Cuoco, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lucy Hale and Kristin Kreuk were also given acting awards, although they were all for their achievements on television, rather than film. Male actors who were recognised for their work on TV included Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan.

Ellen Degeneres also managed to make a bit of history by earning her 14th People's Choice Award to date, taking home the Favourite Daytime TV Host award. She joked during her acceptance speech, "As a young girl growing up in New Orleans, if anyone would have told me I was going to win 14 People's Choice Awards I...I mean 12, yes. 13, maybe. But 14?"
