Peopleschoicemidnightstar Awards Show Calls an Audible

by

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

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8 — On the heels of the new format change announcement, the production team of THE 34th ANNUAL PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS has been traveling the globe to film over 25 acceptance speeches and these winners will be revealed on the show hosted by Queen Latifah, to be broadcast tonight, Tuesday, Jan. 8 (9:00-11:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network.

In some cases the Crest + Scope “Smile Bright in the Spotlighttrophy presenter, Yomarie Tejada, was on hand to let the winner know that they are the people’s choice.
