The people have spoken. Unfortunately, they seem to be repeating themselves.
Despite the potentially dramatic pairing of Isaiah Washington and recently outed Neil Patrick Harris as announcers of the 2007 People's Choice Award nominees, the naming of would-be winners went off Tuesday morning without a hitch, upset or even mild surprise.
The perennial favorites were back in droves this year, with a few notable exceptions. Reigning box office king and queen, Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts, who have respectively nabbed 6 and 11 People's Choice wins to date, have been ousted as nominees. Ditto for last year's reigning award winner, Angelina Jolie.
However, with Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and Sandra Bullock back on board, there's no shortage of familiar faces.
Johnny Depp leads the nominees on the docket this year, with nods for Favorite Male Movie Star, Favorite Male Action Star and Favorite On-Screen Match-Up for his Caribbean chemistry with Keira Knightley.
In an impressive show of popularity, Halle Berry managed to get nominated for two awards, Favorite Female Movie Star and Favorite Female Action Star—both apparently for her work in X-Men: The Last Stand, her only film of the year.
Also jumping on the two-nominations bandwagon on the movie side were Matt Damon, who earned nods in the Favorite Leading Man and Favorite On-Screen Match-Up categories, the latter for his work with Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed; and Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, who in addition to their joint On-Screen Match-Up nomination for The Break-Up nabbed Favorite Female Movie Star and Favorite Leading Man nominations.
In the latter category, Vaughn will go up against Damon, as well as the former Mr. Aniston, Brad Pitt.
The potential podium smack down isn't the only face-off awards show organizers had in the works. While Grey's Anatomy star Washington had the honor of announcing his show among the nominees for Favorite TV Drama, he also had the dubious distinction of naming on-set combatant Patrick Dempsey as one of the nominees for Favorite Male TV Star, the only individual nomination the show received.
Joining ABC's hospital hit in the TV Drama category were House and time slot opponent CSI.
As for the music side, turns out the People are a little bit country, a little bit more country.
All the nominees for Favorite Male Singer this year went to country stars, with Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith battling it out for the title. The Favorite Female Singer category was also dominated by the honky-tonk ladies, with Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood and Shakira the sole nominees.
Underwood, Shakira and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the only multiple nominees for the music front, nabbing two apiece.
Fans can vote for their favorites in movies, TV and music online at pcavote.com. Winners will be announced when the show airs live on CBS Jan. 9.
