E! People’s Choice Awards

The E! People’s Choice Awards show is an annual event that celebrates the most popular figures and phenomena in pop culture, as determined by the American public. Established in 1975 by Bob Stivers, the awards were originally based on Gallup Polls, but transitioned to online voting in 2005. The first awards recognized The Sting as Favorite Picture of 1974, Barbra Streisand as the year's Favorite Film Actress, and John Wayne as its Favorite Film Actor.

The awards show takes place every November at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, USA. Over the years, it has honored a wide range of categories, including film, television, music, and digital media. The show has also expanded to include international categories, recognizing the global impact of pop culture.

The E! People’s Choice Awards show has a rich history of recognizing iconic figures and moments in pop culture. Notable winners include Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift, among many others. The awards have also recognized groundbreaking television shows, such as “The Sopranos,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Stranger Things.”

The show has undergone several changes throughout its history, including a shift in focus from film to television and digital media. However, the core mission of the awards has remained the same: to celebrate the people and phenomena that have captured the hearts and minds of the American public.

In addition to recognizing the best in pop culture, the E! People’s Choice Awards show has also been a platform for social change. The awards have recognized diverse and inclusive content, and have highlighted the importance of representation in media.
