It is a night to remember for the winners of the 2021 People's Choice Awards. BTS won in all the music categories they were all nominated for while singer Olivia Rodrigo bagged two awards for New Artists of 2021 and Album of 2021 for her debut album Sour.
Dwayne Johnson, meanwhile, is the star of the night. The actor earned two of the biggest awards: Male Movie Star of the Year and Comedy Movie Star of the Year for his performances in Disney's Jungle Cruise. Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Loki also earned multiple awards.
The show was hosted by Kenan Thompson and was simultaneously aired on both NBC and E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
Aside from SNL's Kenan Thompson being the host of the show, its presenters also included Laverne Cox, Cardi B, Jojo Siwa, Leslie Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lil Rel Howery, and Chase Stokes. The event also honored Halle Berry with "The People's Icon" award, Kim Kardashian West with "The Fashion Icon" award, Dwayne Johnson with "The People's Champion" award, and Christina Aguilera with the first-ever "Music Icon" award.
Performers for the night included Aguilera, who sang a medley of her hit songs combined with some select ones from her upcoming Spanish-language album, H.E.R., who paid tribute to Motown legend Marvin Gaye, and Blake Shelton, who performed a rendition of his newest single "Come Back As A Country Boy" before being announced as the winner for "The Country Artist of 2021".
