people's choice awards

The Oscars, Golden Globes, and Emmys exist to award the best in the arts of film and television, but they rarely reflect what is actually popular among the general public.  That’s where the E! People’s Choice Awards comes in.  These awards are voted on by the public and their choices are movies and TV shows that people are likely to have already seen.

MarvelStudios/Disney

Even though the year isn’t over, nominees are limited to entries from 2019, so while all the superhero movies from this year got multiple nominations– even ‘Dark Phoenix‘– ‘Aquaman‘ and ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse‘ are nowhere to be found.  This also means that basically nothing released in September through December of any year will ever be eligible for the People’s Choice Awards.  That seems like a flaw in the system.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ received a large number of nominations in the film categories.  It’s up for Movie of 2019, and Action Movie of 2019.  Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth are up for Male Movie Star, while Downey and Chris Evans are up for Action Movie Star.  Scarlet Johansson is up for Female Movie Star.

For Movie of 2019, ‘Endgame’ is up against ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’, and ‘Captain Marvel’, among others.  All three are also up for Action Movie, against ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum’, ‘Shazam!’, ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters‘, ‘Dark Phoenix’, and ‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’.

Warner Bros.

Tom Holland is up for Male Movie Star for ‘Far From Home‘, against Downey and Hemsworth, as well as Will Smith for ‘Aladdin’, Keanu Reeves for ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum’, Samuel L. Jackson for ‘Captain Marvel’, Dwayne Johnson for ‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’, and Adam Sandler for ‘Murder Mystery’.

For Female Movie Star, the award will go to either Johansson, Millie Bobby Brown for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’, Zendaya for ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’, Sophie Turner for ‘Dark Phoenix’, Jennifer Aniston for ‘Murder Mystery’, Brie Larson for ‘Captain Marvel’, Lupita Nyong’o for ‘Us’, or Tessa Thompson for ‘Men in Black: International’.

The thrillers ‘Us’ and ‘Glass’ are up for Drama Movie, with Nyong’o up for Drama Movie Star, along with Samuel L. Jackson and Sarah Paulson from ‘Glass’.

HBO

In the TV categories, ‘Game of Thrones‘ is up for TV Show of 2019, along with ‘Stranger Things‘ and ‘The Walking Dead’, among others.  All three are also up for Drama TV Show. ‘GoT’, ‘Stranger Things’, and ‘The Umbrella Academy‘ are nominated for Bingeworthy Show, while ‘Stranger Things’, and ‘The Umbrella Academy’ are up for Sci-fi/Fantasy Show, against ‘Shadowhunters‘, ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, ‘Supernatural’, ‘The Flash’, ‘Arrow’, and ‘The 100’.

‘GoT’s Kit Harington is competing for Male TV Star, along with ‘TWD’s Norman Reedus, and Finn Wolfhard for ‘Stranger Things’.  Oddly, Emilia Clark is not nominated for Female TV Star, but Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams are.  They are up against Millie Bobby Brown for ‘Stranger Things’, and Danai Gurira for ‘TWD’.  Reedus, Turner, Brown, and Williams are among the nominees for Drama TV Star.

In the Comedy TV categories, ‘The Good Place’ is up against ‘The Big Bang Theory’ among others, while stars Kristen Bell and Jameela Jamil are up for Comedy TV Star, as is Jim Parsons for the last season of ‘The Big Bang Theory’.

There are also awards handed out for music and social media, but I won’t get into those.  However, if you’d like to see all of the nominees, they are below.  If you’d like to vote, head over to E!.

The 2019 E! People’s Choice Awards will be handed out on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 9 pm, only on E!
