We can always count on the People’s Choice Awards to celebrate the fan-favorite movies, TV shows, and recording artists of the year, and they did it once again this week. The list of major winners included Taylor Swift, Stranger Things, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with three awards each.

The list of contenders for the movie of 2022 included such box office hits as The Batman, Nope, Elvis, and Top Gun: Maverick, but they couldn’t stand their ground to The Multiverse of Madness. Its star Elizabeth Olsen picked up two more trophies on her own, for the female movie star and the action movie star of 2022.

Stranger Things was a front-runner in the TV categories, where it managed to defeat the likes of Abbott Elementary, House of the Dragon, and Grey’s Anatomy to be named the show of 2022. It also won the award for the sci-fi/fantasy show and the male TV star of 2022 (Noah Schnapp).

As for the music categories, Taylor Swift was a clear leader with three awards – the female artist of 2022, the album of 2022 for Midnights, and the music video of 2022 for “Anti-Hero”.

The People’s Choice Awards were held on December 6 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, with Kenan Thompson hosting the festivities for the second year in a row.
