Oh, what a night! From Ryan Reynolds to Shania Twain, Hollywood’s biggest celebrities will shine bright at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards on Tuesday, December 6.
The famous fan-voted awards show will take place at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, and will honor nominees from over 40 categories. Host Kenan Thompson — who also served as emcee for the 2021 PCAs and the 2022 Emmys — will introduce guests from the best of TV, film, music and social media.
“I’m beyond excited to host the People’s Choice Awards again this year and celebrate the incredible talent and fans that this show unites,” Thompson said in an official November press release. “I’m so grateful to be nominated — shoutout to the fans and congrats to all the nominees. Get ready for round two!!”
Lizzo is confirmed as the recipient of the People’s Champion Award, while Reynolds and Twain are also announced as this year’s People’s Icon and Music Icon winners, respectively.
“I feel like I’m getting old. For starters, that’s it, you know?” the Just Friends star told E! News at the NYC premiere of his film Spirited last month. “And then I realize, ‘Yeah, I’ve been around.’ I’ve been doing this job for over 30 years now. It’s a long time to do anything. And I’m lucky that I’ve been able to do it for 30 years.”
He added, “So much in the spirit of feeling grateful for the ability to do this job for this long and stay in the industry that can very quickly be done with you — I’m approaching that honor with the same kind of gratitude.”
Along with being nominated for Male Movie Star and Comedy Movie Star of 2022, Reynolds’ film The Adam Project, which was directed by Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy, is up for best Comedy Movie of the year. The sci-fi adventure currently sits at Netflix’s fourth most-viewed English language movie of all time.
“In any endeavor — whether it’s acting, producing, marketing or business — Ryan Reynolds has the unique ability to create joy and authentically connect with his audience,” Cassandra Tryon, SVP of Entertainment Live Events, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a November press release. “He’s received many accolades over the years, but it’s these innate qualities that makes him so beloved. We cannot wait to present Ryan with The People’s Icon award at this year’s show.”
Lizzo, meanwhile, has racked up five previous PCA nominations over the years and will be recognized for her groundbreaking contributions to music and television, as well as her commitment to championing overall diversity and inclusivity across race, gender, sexuality and size.
“Lizzo is not only an incredibly talented performer and groundbreaking entertainer, she is also a role model and inspiration to fans worldwide. She leads with kindness, advocates for inclusivity, and champions increased diversity and equity in the industry and beyond,” Tryon said in a statement at the time. “Her commitment to breaking barriers and empowering others to use their own voices to create change makes her a true People’s Champion.”
