The People's Choice Awards: Oh, the Pain....

Queen Latifah by Monty Brinton/CBS
Maybe the Globes are onto something by sucking it up and going with a simple hour-long press conference? Similarly struck by the strike, Tuesday night's extremely strange and borderline
unwatchable
People's Choice Awards - in which host
Queen Latifah had the unenviable task of reading the winner from what looked like a Franklin Planner, then throwing it to a pre-taped acceptance speech - gave props to a trio of
Grey's Anatomy stars (Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl and Chandra Wilson),
House (named favorite TV drama) and
Two and a Half Men (fave comedy). Other winners on the TV front included talk host
Ellen DeGeneres,
Dancing with the Stars (reality show),
Deal or No Deal (game show),
Stargate Atlantis (sci-fi fare) and
The Simpsons (non-human programming).
