It's that time of the year when the annual The People's Choice Awards role in, honouring the very best of popular culture in 2014. The 41st iteration of the ceremony saw a number of celebrities making an appearance to give, receive and pose with awards for categories ranging from 'Favourite Movie Actor' to 'Favourite TV Character We Miss Most'. So, yes, the net was cast pretty wide.

That's not to say that certain celebrities weren't favoured over others. Robert Downey Jr. took home the awards for both 'Favourite Movie Actor' and 'Favourite Dramatic Movie Actor', and Jennifer Lawrence was awarded both 'Favourite Movie Actress' and 'Favourite Action Movie Actress'. The most nominations went to Shailene Woodley ('Divergent', 'The Fault in Our Stars') who was received four nominations for three categories - she only ended up taking home 'Favourite Movie Duo' after receiving two nominations in that category.
