Ellen DeGeneres and “Dancing with the Stars” were early winners at the People’s Choice Awards.
“I wish I could share this with you,” DeGeneres told the audience while clutching her trophy for favorite talk show host. “I could throw it on the ground and smash it into a million pieces, and give each one of you a little piece of it, but that’s violent, and that’s probably why you voted for me, because I’m not violent.”
Other winners selected by Internet voters in categories spanning movies, television and music included “Dancing With the Stars” as favorite reality show, Chris Brown as favorite male singer, Hugh Laurie for favorite male TV star and “American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood as favorite female singer, star under 35 and country song for “Last Name.”
