Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother Win at the People’s Choice Awards

The greatest example of how democracy works and makes America great isn’t our election process, it’s the People’s Choice Awards! Where else can Twilight dreamboat Robert Pattinson accept the Favorite Drama Movie award for… Water for Elephants? Is that even a real movie? Well, we’re only concerned with television here, so isn’t it awesome that the award for Favorite Cable TV Drama went to… Hot in Cleveland? Maybe we need some sort of electoral college for the PCAs.

Yes, the hot mess that is the People’s Choice Awards was televised last night on CBS, and despite Hot in Cleveland‘s win, things skewed young and cute. Supernatural and its hunky Winchester brothers won Favorite Network TV Drama and Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show, reiterating that The CW’s cult hit has a fan base that’s a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to online polling.

How I Met Your Mother won the highest number of TV-related trophies (what do we call a People’s Choice Award — a Peepy?); the CBS sitcom scored for Favorite Network TV Comedy, Favorite TV Comedy Actor (Neil Patrick Harris), and Favorite TV Guest Star (Katy Perry). ABC’s Castle was also well-represented, with wins for Favorite TV Crime Drama and Favorite TV Drama Actor (Nathan Fillion).

Ahh, the People’s Choice Awards, where Pretty Little Liars beats Game of Thrones in the Cable TV Drama category. Personally, I think TV.com users do the whole choosing thing a tad bit better.
