People's Choice Awards
Normally I like watching these things, but this year's choices really make me shake my head a bit. Who picks the nominees anyway??? The most interesting one should be that Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill are up for the same award .....

The winners will be revealed Tuesday, Jan. 9 (9:00-11:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. Potential nominees for "The 33rd Annual People's Choice Awards" were compiled with the help of Knowledge Networks, a leading market research company.

For each category, the respondents were provided with a set of candidates determined by national ratings averages, box-office grosses and album sales. The respondents then chose their favorites in Television, Movies and Music. They also had the option to write in their favorites where not included among the provided candidates.
