Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War take People’s Choice honours

Written by on November 13, 2018

Shadowhunters, Korean boyband BTS and Khloe Kardashian were the other major winners in the awards determined by an online vote

The People’s Choice awards – the first major awards ceremony of the season – have seen Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther take the honours in the film section, giving them an early boost in the Oscars jostle.

The awards are voted for in a complex online poll and cover TV, music and pop culture as well as movies, and lean towards commercial and mainstream releases. Avengers: Infinity War was named best movie and action movie, with Scarlett Johansson named best female movie star, while Black Panther took two acting awards – best male movie star for Chadwick Boseman, and best action star for Danai Gurira. (Both actors also appeared as the same characters in Avengers: Infinity War.)

In a feat unlikely to be repeated at any other awards ceremonies, EL James adaptation Fifty Shades Freed also took two awards, for best drama movie and best drama star for Jamie Dornan.

The TV categories were dominated by YA fantasy series Shadowhunters, adapted from Cassandra Clare’s popular book series The Mortal Instruments. Shadowhunters won best show, and best male and female TV stars for Harry Shum Jr and Katherine McNamara respectively, as well as most binge-worthy show. Jimmy Fallon won best night-time talk show, while the Kardashian clan had two entries: one for best reality show (Keeping Up With the Kardashians) and the other for Khloé Kardashian for best reality star.
