The People's Choice Awards are decided by, you guessed it: The people. The 49th People's Choice Awards, airing Feb. 18, will seem like a recap of some of the pop culture highlights of the past year.
For all the talk of Oscar snubs, Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" has swept at the PCAs, becoming the top movie with a total of nine nods. Margot Robbie got an acting nomination here, though she didn't get an Oscar nod. Next up is "Oppenheimer" with six, meaning the PCAs — like most of this year's award shows — will be a Barbenheimer redux.
The People's Choice Awards has unique categories you won't find anywhere else, like bingeworthy show of the year and the social celebrity of the year. Couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are both nominated; Swift as the best social celebrity and Kelce as best athlete.
Acting nominees are split up into male and female movie stars, but also "action movie star," "comedy movie star" and "drama movie star." "The movie performance of the year" is its own category, featuring Danielle Brooks and America Ferrera this year among the nominees.
