Katy Perry triumphs at People's Choice Awards

12th January 2012

Katy Perry triumphed at last night's People's Choice Awards.

Although she pulled out of the awards ceremony days ago, the absent Teenage Dream singer won trophies in five categories including Favourite Female Artist, Tour Headliner, Song of the Year for E.T., TV Guest Appearance and Music Video. Katy had seven nods in total.

Fantasy film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 won the second most awards. The eighth and final instalment of the film series adapted from J.K. Rowling's novels was victorious in the Favourite Movie, Action Movie, Ensemble Movie Cast and Book Adaptation categories. The film received nine nominations all together.

Glee starlet Lea Michele was voted the public's Favourite TV Comedy Actress. Lea is grateful to those who appreciate her ambitious character Rachel Berry on Glee.

"[To] all the Rachel Berrys out there!" Lea gushed when she picked up her award at the podium.

Songstress Demi Lovato, who also performed at the ceremony, was another winner with fans as she clenched the Favourite Pop Artist title.

"I won this award because of my fans so I dedicate this to you guys," Demi said on stage. "Without you guys tweeting so many times I wouldn't be here tonight."

Notable winners of the film categories include Emma Stone for Favourite Movie Actress and Comedic Movie Actress, Johnny Depp for Favourite Movie Actor and Hugh Jackman for Favourite Action Movie Star.

The People's Choice Awards are judged by popular vote and not by industry associations or critics like a lot of the other awards.

The winners were voted for by fans online and on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
