{Awards Season 2016} People's Choice
The new year is here, and so are the 42nd Annual People's Choice Awards. This is the first of several award shows held in January (People's Choice, Golden Globes, Critics Choice, SAG) and perhaps because it's the first, it's also one of the weakest. This year's show was held January 6, 2016, at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and hosted by Jane Lynch.
Stefanie Scott, 19, attended to support her horror flick Insidious: Chapter 3, which was nominated for Favorite Thriller Movie.
Katherine McNamara, 20, attended to promote her upcoming ABC Family series Shadowhunters, based on the Mortal Instruments books, which premieres on January 12.
Keke Palmer, 22, and Vanessa Hudgens (below) attended together to promote their upcoming live musical production of Grease, scheduled to air on Fox on January 31. Fox decided to produce a live Grease after seeing NBC's success with live musicals The Sound of Music (2013) and Peter Pan (2014). ABC is also jumping on the bandwagon: last month, they announced a live musical Dirty Dancing, starring Abigail Breslin, 19.
Vanessa Hudgens, now 27, said when she first joined Grease at this time last year: "Being Rizzo is something I've never imagined, and I love that because it will be a new challenge. She is such an iconic character that continues to transcend generations. I cannot wait to bring her to life on live television. I'm going to be a Pink Lady!" But 2016 will mark eight years since the release of High School Musical 3, and I do wonder how happy Vanessa really is to literally still be doing high school musicals.
The Girls of Grease: Vanessa (Rizzo), Keke (Marty), Julianne Hough (Sandy), 27, Carly Rae Jepsen (Frenchie), 30, and Kether Donohue (Jan), 30. Just like the 1978 Grease, this high-school movie will apparently have no actual teenagers in it.
Former child actress Claire Danes, now 36, was nominated for Favorite Premium Cable TV Actress, but she lost to Kristen Bell. She did go onstage with the cast of Homeland to accept the show's award for Favorite Premium Cable TV Show.
Former child actress Mayim Bialik, now 40, attended together with the cast of her show The Big Bang Theory, which won Favorite TV Show and Favorite TV Comedy.
