The People’s Choice Awards is the next anticipated award show happening this year. With a date set for Dec. 7, the entertainment industry is excited to find out which of the decided upon fan favorites in music, television, film and pop culture get to claim their respective titles.
Last year’s ceremony received generally moderate ratings from the viewers during the winter season of the pandemic and without a live audience. This year, the ceremony will be held again at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. The ceremony will be hosted by comedian and SNL cast member Kenan Thompson. Thompson is also nominated for two awards: Comedy TV Star and Male TV Star.
