People’s Choice Awards might be considered a bit “low brow” (in the sense of lacking the glamour and prestige of bigger awards shows) but they’re also highly indicative of audience’s tastes. The nominees for the 2014 edition, which will take place in January, have just been announced.
Categories include, as always, movie, television and music, with fans already having the ability to vote for their favorites through to December 5.
In television, the favorite is “Glee” with 8 nominations, including for Favorite Network TV Comedy, while in music, Katy Perry is leading the pack with 5 nods.
In film, Sandra Bullock scored 5 nominations, including one for “Gravity” and one of the female buddy-cop comedy “The Heat.”
A list of the nominees in all the major categories is included below, but the complete list is here. People’s Choice Awards 2014 will take place live on January 8, and air on CBS.
