Joaquin Phoenix: Grateful But Speechless for People's Choice Award
Originally posted 01/09/2008 11:45AM
Joaquin Phoenix may have been named favorite leading man during Tuesday's People's Choice Awards, but the actor wasn't feeling too chatty about the honor. Sure, he was grateful. But in his taped acceptance speech, Phoenix nodded to the ongoing writers' strike – which forced producers to retool the show – by using cards to broadcast his message. "I'm speechless without the writers," his cards read. "Seriously. But in my own quiet way, I want to thank the millions of fans that voted for me for favorite leading man." The actor then mumbled a quick "thank you" at the end of his printed message.

People's Choice Awards Abandons Red Carpet
Originally posted 12/19/2007 07:45PM
The People's Choice Awards has become the first awards show hit by the writers' strike, with producers abandoning the red carpet, acceptance speeches and live audience for a "magazine-style format."
Queen Latifah will continue to serve as host of the show, but winners now will give their acceptance remarks via video rather than from a stage in an auditorium. Winners will also answer questions emailed by fans.
"Obviously, we realized there are pressing issues facing the entertainment industry," says show spokeswoman Jeannie Tharrington. "Out of respect for all the people involved, we decided we would use this opportunity to use a new format."
The People's Choice Awards airs on Jan. 8 on CBS.
