Yes, it's that time of the year again -- time for the ever-popular People's Choice Awards (or, as I like to call them, "The Choice for People Under the Age of 16). Seriously, from glancing at the winners, one can only speculate that the folks actually voting are either teenagers or woman who read nothing but Us Weekly and Star Magazine -- basically, the types of people who think Jennifer Aniston (who won for best female star) is the greatest female movie star on the planet. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but c'mon ...

For those of you lucky enough to have missed the live broadcast, Johnny Depp and his merry band of pirates were the big winners on the movie side -- Depp took home the award for best male star, best male action star (what, no Daniel Craig?) and best on-screen matchup (for his on-screen partnership alongside Keira Knightley), while Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest won for best movie and best movie drama. Gee, ya think that movie is popular, or what? As far as best movie comedy goes, folks just scanned the list looking for whatever Adam Sandler film was out in theaters, choosing Click as their favorite. Not surprisingly, Cars walked away with the award for best family movie (and here I thought Tideland would give it a good fight).

Other winners include Cameron Diaz for best lading lady and Halle Berry for best female action star. Something tells me that best female action star trophy will look pretty sweet sitting next to Berry's Oscar -- man, remember back when we actually took her acting seriously. Sure, it was only for a couple of months ... but those were some special months, huh? Next year's show should be fun to predict -- how about we go ahead and give everything to Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End and call it a day?
