The People’s Choice Awards are always a nice way to kick-off awards season, as they tend to take themselves less seriously than other ceremonies and therefore allow attendees the opportunity to kick back and relax before all of the real madness begins this weekend with the Globes. While nothing from last night’s telecast broke the internet, there were a few moments you should note for your watercooler conversations today.
What was your favorite moment? Let us know in the comments below.
Dakota Johnson’s Wardrobe Malfunction Recovery
After presenter Leslie Mann broke Dakota’s dress as the 50 Shades of Grey star made her way up to the podium, Dakota managed to prevent a visible malfunction while joking that “...it’s not like nobody here hasn’t already seen my boobs.’”
Vin Diesel’s Teary Tribute
While accepting awards for Fast and the Furious 7, Vin teared up in talking about his late co-star Paul Walker and even sang a few bars of the film’s song “See You Again” in his honor.
Ellen DeGeneres’ Humanitarian Award
Because she deserved it, and because her acceptance speech included the following quip, "I just think that kindness is something that we should all have. That's an innate quality that we have and we need more of that out there. I read a great quote recently, 'What if there was no such thing as love? Just proof of love.' I don't know if it was from the Bible or an Instagram, but either way it's powerful."
Taylor Kinney’s Sweet Shoutout to Gaga
While accepting an award for Favorite Dramatic TV Actor, Kinney addressed Gaga saying, "My fiancée couldn't be here tonight, but she says hello, wishes she could. I love you, babe. Thank you for having my back and supporting me. You inspire me every day." We're not not jealous...
When Sharon Osbourne Kicked Someone
We wouldn’t normally advocate for violence, but something about seeing Sharon Osbourne act so punk rock at age sixty-three warmed our hearts. When an audience member crashed the stage as The Talk’s hosts were accepting their award, Ms.Osbourne reacted by both kicking him and flipping him off. While she might not make it onto the invite list for the Oscars as a result, we’d say her sweet and swift defense was well worth it.
