Like a good fangeek, I went to cast my votes for the People’s Choice Awards nominees when they were selecting them. I wanted to make sure there would be some nominees I cared about. I just… couldn’t care about so many of the prospective nominees. I was, predictably, all gung ho for the cable television drama nominees, but I skipped most of the network drama and comedy nominees; film was a similar case. And for music, as evidenced by my various statistics in weeks past, I just voted for Adele whenever I could and skipped everything else.
So, here’s a list of the official nominees I actually care about.
CATEGORIES I CANNOT JUDGE: Favorite Drama Movie, Favorite Comedic Movie Actor, Favorite Animated Movie Voice, Favorite Network TV Drama, Favorite TV Drama Actress, Favorite TV Competition Show, Favorite Daytime TV Host, Favorite Late Night TV Host, Favorite TV Celebreality Star, Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Pop Artist, Favorite Hip-Hop Artist, Favorite R&B Artist, Favorite Band, Favorite Country Artist, Favorite Tour Headliner.
Favorite Movie:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
Favorite Movie Actor:
I have enjoyed films that feature all of them (Daniel Radcliffe, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson [because he was in Goblet of Fire], and Ryan Reynolds) but I would not give any of them this vote. Nope.
Favorite Movie Actress:
Please Emma Stone forever. The more I think about her and see her in things, the more I love her.
Favorite Movie Icon:
There is no definition of “icon,” is there? Morgan Freeman is a badass narrator, though, so I guess I vote him?
Favorite Action Movie:
Here, I am torn. Part of me wants to vote Deathly Hallows always, but part of me wants to vote X-Men: First Class, because it is wonderful and brilliant.
Favorite Action Movie Star:
The title of the category doesn’t specify “male,” but apparently you have to be a male to be nominated. It’s 40% of the same actors in the Favorite Movie Actor category, and the others don’t even warrant mentioning.
Favorite Comedy Movie:
By Emma Stone+Liza Lapira best friends default, I vote Crazy, Stupid, Love. I guess.
Favorite Comedic Movie Actress:
Again, Emma Stone for everything. (Though I think it’s funny to call Natalie Portman a “comedic” movie actress based on one or two films.)
Favorite Movie Star Under 25:
It’s kinda just Chloe Moretz vs. everyone from Harry Potter, and as much as I love everyone from Harry Potter, Chloe Moretz is a baby badass and I adore her.
Favorite Ensemble Movie Cast:
Same problem as in Favorite Action Movie.
Favorite Movie Superhero:
Why does Mystique count as a hero if Magneto doesn’t? They both try to do hero things, then go “bad” by the end. I vote for James McAvoy instead. (ALL THE X-MEN.)
Favorite Book Adaptation:
Harry Potter. Again. Always.
Favorite TV Drama Actor:
Nathan Fillion can have every vote, right? (Even if I’m not up to current on Castle yet.)
Favorite Network TV Comedy:
I’ve only seen a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory, but I’ll give it my vote.
Favorite TV Comedy Actor:
Jim Parsons and Neil Patrick Harris get my votes on principle.
Favorite TV Comedy Actress:
I don’t watch 30 Rock, but I loved Tina Fey on SNL, so, again, on principle.
Favorite Cable TV Comedy:
Weeds, please.
Favorite TV Crime Drama:
Castle. Always and forever.
Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show:
True Blood and The Walking Dead are both really more “horror,” but they both get votes from my heart. (A little more for True Blood.)
Favorite TV Guest Star:
I will allow this one win for Glee, just for Kristin Chenoweth’s street cred.
Favorite New TV Drama:
Pan Am for the clothes, Ringer for the camp.
Favorite New TV Comedy:
2 Broke Girls for the snarky Kat Dennings, New Girl for the nerdtastic Zooey Deschanel.
Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Song of the Year, Favorite Album of the Year, Favorite Music Video:
Some combination of Adele, “Rolling in the Deep,” and 21. (And I haven’t even seen the video.)
