A Recap on the 2020 People’s choice awards

Created by Madison Tewksbury

The 2020 People’s choice awards show looked completely different compared to other years but still surpassed the difficulties that this year has brought. According to Los Angeles Times, the award ceremony took place at the Barker Hangar, in Santa Monica California, and was hosted by Demi Lovato. The production company of the award ceremony had decided to have a virtual ceremony and decided to only have a restricted number of people attend that were either receiving or announcing awards. All of these precautions were to ensure the safety of all the award recipients, announcers, hosts, and staff. Others who were not at the award ceremony attended via live stream.

Below is a list of all the nominees in each category, and subcategory. Each subcategory has the winner listed in bold.
