Last night (Jan. 7) the people shared their opinion on their favorite in movies, television and music at the 41st Annual People’s Choice Awards.
The show, which was hosted by Mom stars Anna Faris and Alison Janney and aired on CBS, honored the people’s favorite artists including Ed Sheeran who took home the award for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Album for X.
His best bud Taylor Swift also took home a few awards, winning Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Pop Artists and Favorite Song for “Shake It Off.”
Maroon 5 was the people’s Favorite Group, while the guys of Five Seconds of Summer were honored with the award for Favorite Breakout Artist.
Iggy Azalea went home with the prize for Favorite Hip-Hop Artist beating out Nicki Minaj, Drake, Jay Z and her mentor T.I..
The win even had Iggy, who performed “Beg For It” during the show and sat through a joke that had presenters calling her “Igloo Australia”—you know the name Azealia Banks prefers to call the Aussie—surprised.
“This is an amazing way to start the year,” she told the crowd. “I didn’t expect this, so I wrote nothing. It’s not wasted on me.”
She later posted a photo of herself in the audience, letting her fans know, “I’m a winner every day because of you.” Take that haters.
Country artists had a good night with Hunter Hayes winning Favorite Male Country Artist and Lady Antebellum winning Favorite Country Group.
Hunter and Lady A seemed to be having a lot of fun, posting a photobomb pic from the audience.
