The People’s Choice Awards are the largest and best-known public award in the US and have been awarded annually since 1975. The titles and stars that are particularly popular with the masses are the clear winners here – this is also reflected in this year’s series.
Netflix Mega Hit”Weird stuffis clearly the hit series 2022. Both the award for the series 2022 and for the series in the genre of Sci-Fi and Fantasy went to the Netflix success. In both cases, “House Of The Dragon” was defeated. The “Game Of Thrones” prequel went completely empty-handed. And “Stranger Things” even won third prize. Namely, TV Male Star of the Year was lead actor Noah Schnapp, whose stars include Jason Bateman (“Ozark”), Oscar Isaac (“Moon Knight”), Dwayne Johnson (“Young Rock”), Ewan McGregor (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”) and left behind Norman Reedus (“The Walking Dead”).
Schnapp’s colleague Millie Bobby Brown, on the other hand, had to give way to Ellen Pompeo in the female TV star category 2022. their series “Gray’s Anatomyalso won Best Drama Series. However, it’s still not enough for Pompeo to win another drama star category. It was here that Mariska Hargitay won for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, beating Pompeo as well as “Euphoria” stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, as well as “This Is Us” stars Mandy Moore and Sterling K. Brown. Incidentally, “This Is Us” went home without an award, despite a total of six nominations (the most of any series). Among the comedy stars, Selena Gomez triumphed (“Only Murders In The Building”).
Other Netflix hits: comedy and binge-watching
The streaming service Netflix was not only happy with the three awards for ‘Stranger Things’. Also in the comedy series, the streaming giant’s own production won: “Never in my life…“. And where could the binge event of the year come from if not Netflix. “Dahmer” received the award here, beating out the great Disney Plus insider tip “The Bear” as well as “Bridgerton”, “The Boys” and “Inventing Anna”.
Incidentally, while Marvel cleared out the movie theaters, there was little to help the comic giants with the series. No Marvel productions were nominated for Best Series at all, while Moon Knight and She-Hulk were among the titles competing against the aforementioned winner, Stranger Things’ (like ‘The Rings of Power’, by the way).
