Good job fans – Reese was named Favorite Female Movie Star yesterday at the People’s Choice Awards! It was announced in a televised program that was drastically altered due to the Hollywood writers strike. Instead of receiving their statuettes to great applause during a traditional awards ceremony, the recipients taped acceptance speeches for a canned broadcast that aired on CBS.
Reuters reports that:
The event’s organizers were forced to change their plans last month because the Writers Guild of America is refusing to allow many awards shows to hire union writers and actors are not crossing the writers’ picket lines.
Depp and Witherspoon were named favorite male and female movie star. Neither was cited for any particular film, though Depp was in theaters last year with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, which won two other awards. Witherspoon appeared in only one movie, the box office bomb Rendition.
Update: Here is a quick snipet of Reese’s pre-recorded speach.
We are nothing without our writers. But we are also nothing without our audience.
If anyone managed to catch Reese’s speech, please consider sending it in!
YAHHHH!!!!!!! haha reese can not and never will fail!!! even in what might seem to some as a pretty low-key non-busy (movie-wise) year, she manages to not only look great and accomplish great achievements for charities and Avon and whatnot, but win ANOTHER award to add to her already extensive collection!!!
