This has to sting a bit.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Two controversial films that defied the odds to earn millions at the box office joined a familiar green ogre to take top honors at the 31st Annual People's Choice Awards on Sunday.
The Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11, which took a critical look at President Bush's actions after the Sept. 11 attacks, won the favorite movie award, while Mel Gibson's explicit The Passion of the Christ won in the favorite drama category.
Moore dedicated his win to the U.S. troops fighting overseas and said he was "amazed" that people voted his film their favorite.
"I love making movies and I'll take this as an invitation to make more Fahrenheit 9/11s, " Moore said.
Gibson echoed Moore's appreciation, saying the award "means a lot more to me this time than anything before."
"I depended on you and you were there," Gibson said. "If it wasn't for you guys, we would have been dead in the water."
The animated Shrek 2 swept a number of categories, being named favorite comedy, favorite sequel and favorite animated movie.
The character of Donkey in Shrek 2, voiced by Eddie Murphy, was named favorite animated movie star, while The Fairy Godmother, voiced by Jennifer Saunders, won in the favorite movie villain category.
Perennial favorites took many of the top awards, including many of this year's new categories. Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp won for favorite female and male movie star. Matt LeBlanc and Marg Helgenberger won for favorite male and female TV stars.
Will & Grace, won for favorite TV comedy. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was named favorite TV drama.
After votes cast via the Internet during the first hour of the live telecast were counted, Joey was named favorite new TV comedy, while Desperate Housewives won for favorite new TV drama.
The People's Choice Awards, hosted by Jason Alexander and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, were presented at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and broadcast live on CBS. The awards covered 38 film, television and music categories, including a number of new ones.
The nominations were determined by editors at Entertainment Weekly, the People's Choice production team and a panel of pop culture fans. Winners were determined by Internet voting.

What part of The Peoples Choice award do you not understand? The part where ordinary people vote, NOT Hollywood insiders?

I haven't seen anything. RPM, get with the program man, close yer eyes too!

The part where ordinary people vote
This year, they dropped Gallup and switched to a partnership with Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Now, nominees are determined by a "front row panel of over 6,000 entertainment enthusiasts" recruited by EW editors. The panel votes on the various categories, then people vote via the Internet for the winners.
Two points:
1. People voting via the Internet. Yep, no chance for "voter fraud" there. I'm sure everyone only votes one time, no matter how many hotmail and yahoo addys they have.
2. It's clear your definition of "ordinary people" is a lot different than mine. The "ordinary" folks I know would have a lot better things to do than that.

Aaah, all a vast left-wing conspiracy. Was the Tri-Lateral Commission involved or did your tin foil hat fall off Toad?

I heard MM's websight was urging people to get on their computers and vote for F9/11.
How true that is, I've no idea but I would not be surprised.

Do ya think maybe that people who frequent MM's website might be inclined to vote that way regardless?
How do you explain the "Passion" winning? Was there a vast left wing Christian conspiracy? Or maybe Mel had all his children vote.

My point was, it sounded like MM was schilling for votes on his websight.
How many people even knew the voting for the PC award was going on?
I forgot there even was a PC award until today.
*shrugs*
Guess that makes this whole conversation pointless for me.
Let's chalk it up to "Who cares"

But I’m sure the Hollywood Insiders controlled the vote results one way or another. Gee, let’s see Hollywood + Democratic Influence on Hollywood = Favorite Movie “FarenLIE 9/11” – What a shock. Peoples Awards are BS – Just a label. You trying to say it’s legit, just like the Oscars right? No phone calls are made right? – “Come one, help me out here, fudge some numbers.” Funny how Hollywood just loves to force crap down out throats i.e. Paris Hilton, her 15 minutes of fame was up 4 years ago, the majority of Americans are sick of her, yet she’s still all over the place still.

Whats the fuss about?
The kerry set voted for the we hate america movie by moore. A whole bunch of them.
The Bush crowd voted for the jesus movie. a whole bunch more did.
Just like the box office retursns of the two...
And just like the real election...
All of which means you leftist sobs are the still loosers..
:p

Hmmmmm Maybe I'll make a new website - something to balance the playing field a little here - A award site with a Right Wing Twist. I'll call it the RPM Awards or Republican Progressive Movement awards utilizing that acronym in honor of my favorite lefty.

I don't know about 'sting', but it does make sense...in a rather twisted manner.
Both movies involve big fat guys living in their own fantasy land. :)

Look! A surviving liberal extremist! Class - note the easy identification? The accusation of racism in any argument? Liberal extremists are uncomfortable when discussing topics with people who are 'stupid and uneducated enough to have views different than their own.'
Class dismissed.

If you think the Klan is only about racism, you are dreadfully uninformed. That's like saying the Civil War was only about slavery. They are the uber right wing, politically speaking. Crack open a book once in a while, will ya?
-
From the website: http://www.kkk.bz/index1.htm (http://www.kkk.bz/index1.htm) which looks like the Klan's website,
Welcome to The Knights Party
America's Largest, Oldest, and Most Professional White Rights Organization - We Love you!
Might not be only racism, but that is the main thrust of the organization.
And as for the Civil War, here's a quote from the articles of secession of South Carolina.
A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that that "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction.
So it appears that the legislature of South Carolina thought it was about slavery.

as i understand MM put his "documentary" on TV right before the election and by doing so disqualifyed himself from the best doc film,( some rule about doc films cannot be on TV for x amount of time after release) so they had to give him something, "peoples choice"
