Peopleschoicemidnightstar Awards Show Calls an Audible

The Peopleschoicemidnightstar Awards has had to call an audible.
It appears because of the WGA strike, the show had to change its format. So, schlocky awards will be given out, I’m betting, with even great schlock than usual.
My Gal Phoebe at CBS has the lastest on tonight’s big show:
“THE 34TH ANNUAL PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS” GOES GLOBAL
