The People’s Choice Awards took place on January 11, 2012 with Kaley Cuoco handling the hosting duties and Katy Perry and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 two of the night’s biggest winners. Fans broke all records this year, with 230+ million votes cast on PeoplesChoice.com, Facebook, and Twitter. And given that fans vote for the winners, most of the people/movies/TV shows on this list are well-known names and not the usual indie darlings you see on most awards groups lists.
